I wonder if Great America will be able to top GAdv with their addition of Bucaneer Battle this season. I wish all the best with Bizarro. With the drop in stature at Magic Mountain and the rise of GAm, it's almost safe to believe that some guests like family flat rides. It's probably not a bad idea to have some, especialy when your park has competition and in the case of MM, when your coaster collection is mediocre at best.
With the addition of a new coaster at MM, we may see how important flat rides/all-encompassing rides are by next year's results. Terminator is a decent addition to MM, but the coaster collection is already heavy in 48'' rides. Ninja, the lone 42'' coaster, and their water rides carry a heavy burden!
