Yoshi Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Package pickup is a great idea. There were times I saw something I wanted to buy in a store towards the back of the park but didn't want to get it because I was still going on rides and either forgot to get it later or tried to see if it was sold at one of the stores near the entrance and it wasn't. The park looks so nice with all the decorations and light displays. It's always impressive to see it with everything setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 NEW FOR 2023!!!! lol But seriously, they need to find a way to make people excited about the parks again. It seems like the excitement left with Jim Reid-Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I'd say the excitement left in 2006 with Premier-- they made investments that made an impact. Of course they didn't manage it properly, but a park of Great Adventure's caliber and stature needs BIG investments periodically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 ^ I see what you mean but IDK if that's quite fair. Jersey Devil, Justice League, Zumanjaro have all been cool additions; it's not as if they've stopped adding things completely. But it is time for another Nitro-, Medusa-, Ka-, or Toro-level addition, I agree...and I don't have much confidence we'll get it. In other news, I am *shocked* they brought package pickup back. Very happy to see that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Their "major" additions would have been off-year additions in the past. The idea that $7 million was the max they would spend for a new attraction would be fine for a smaller park, but not one of the biggest/busiest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 There were long stretches where I wanted to badly to live near a Paramount park, or where I was so grateful that my home park was owned by SF and not CF. Now it's quite the opposite of that. Funny how these things continue to shift over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
