warnerleroy Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 GADV should add the observation tower! That would look cool and it could be themed to like a lighthouse and put in the lakefront section! They should also buy the flume and put it in Looney Tunes Seaport as Yosemite Sam's Vermin water ride! They couls also buy a bunch of flats and turn them into a new movie themed park across the lake!

darkridedan Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 ^^ Don't worry Dainan. With the prices of flat rides, it would bankrupt Six Flags for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4Sing Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I wasn't trying to be funny. I simply meant that since those flats at Astroland are definitely going, it would be a good opportunity for GA to bring back a Scrambler and Tilt a Whirl, and others. GA needs them, and at the same time we would still get to enjoy some of our favorite Coney Island flats, without them being sold off to somewhere in Oklahoma or whatever. The scrambler and tilt a whirl are 35 grand each. That won't bankrupt the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkridedan Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) I know flat rides won't bankrupt the company. Dainan is a little depressed about Astroland closing and I was being facetious. It's people who are payed big bucks to make decisions who think a scrambler or tilt-a-whirl would. One can't judge people's motives behind their views, but all over the fan forums, people are calling for flat rides. Whether it be for prestige, taste or the want of a family atmosphere, I'm inclined to think that if most of the fans want flat rides, they may not be such a bad idea.

rcji Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm so buying the astrotower for my backyard! (If I had the money) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 A scrambler and tilt a whirl would be great to help theme the boardwalk into a victorian style boardwalk! It'd be a squeeze, but I think it'd be really cool if they could somehow but the tilt a whirl and scramble in the middle of GASM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CablesEric Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 What's going to happen with the Cyclone? Are they going to find a way to save it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 The Cyclone and Wonder Wheel are safe as historic landmarks. The rest is at risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Why don't we all go in for the Scrambler or the Tilt-A-Whirl. We could set it up in all of our Backyard's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 This is but if I were ever to win Mega-Millions, I would look into having GreatAdventureHistory.com sponsor a new section of the park in a heavily wooded area reminiscent of the Fun Fair section of flats that was added in 1975, complete with all the styles and colors of the park's earliest years. Of course the entrance to this new addition would feature a giant GA Lion Sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 If the diving bell was still around, just image if they brought that to the park! Heck, put it in my backyard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still does anybody know what happened to the old diving bell ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 No, being a Great Adventure History site, we don't track the movements of rides previously installed in Coney Island. Maybe you should ask on a Coney Island History site...I know there are quite a few of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Wouldn't a Diving Bell like that look great if the Exploration Station ever added an aquatic section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up_Up_and_Away Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Wouldn't a Diving Bell like that look great if the Exploration Station ever added an aquatic section. No, as the safari has no aquatic areas to highlight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Well, if it ever decided to add one, which I think they should! I'm still suprised the Log Flume costs more than the Atrotower? Edited September 13, 2008 by warnerleroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
