What do you want for 2007?
« on: November 25, 2005, 11:15:16 PM »
Ok, so here's a topic for what YOU want to come in 2007!

I want a nice flat package, like SFOT is getting this year. The flats I currently want the most are a Giant Frisbee from Huss, and some classics, such as a scrambler and a Tilt a Whirl.

So...what do you want for 07? If anything?

the ECC crew will be the first to party in the new hotel rooms.. on opening day weekend!

It would be very nice to see a nice hotel go up.  Than i wouldnt have to worry about driving home with a coaster-hangover.  


Flat packages would be very nice, as we are in serious need.

A drop tower perhaps?

and agreed with chuck, the harbor needs some attention.

It wouldnt hurt to throw a nice coaster in the mix somewhere.  I wont be too picky though :)

Actually they added to HH in 2001. But yes, they are dearly in need of something new... And hopefully not a Tornado!

I think HH will be getting some attention soon :)

Personally, I'd just like to see EVERYTHING 100% rehabbed and operational by 2007.

IMO, that is what they were aiming for with the new hotel coming so I guess we'll soon find out.

Tornado slides are a whole lot of fun.  I would love to see some more slides, and something different, maybe a water coaster.  Any expansion over there would be welcome.

I keep saying, if I ran the park, capacity would be my goal.  A bunch of large flats would do it.  

I would replace the parachute drop with an Intamin Giant Drop, like the one at PKD.  It is a very simple ride with a high capacity.  I would also make it the largest, just to make the marketing of it a little better.  That is what I would love to see in 2007.

Anything high capacity for our park is what we need. I too am 100% for a HH expansion or additions.

the drop could go towards the west.. the only big structure there is kingda ka.  I think its time people see the park up high from the west.

The chutes are one of the most classic things we have in the park.  I say instead of replacing it.. why not run it to its full capacity?  Think of the site.. every chute operational at the same time.  That would be something to see.

Ahh, Nick is on my side when it comes to removing classic Gadv rides. I think the parachute needs to stay! :) A drop ride would fit nicely Between the Log Flume and the concert arena.

I forget which thread it was in but somewhere before I had mentioning putting a massive drop ride in over by BOTW on the land that used to have the shooting gallery lol

Yes, I agree, the chutes need to stay.  I believe Gadv and SFOT are the only 2 remaining parks with these rides.  Its a high capacity ride that is tame enough for most people to ride to.  I'm afraid a new drop ride replacing it would again hurt the parks capacity just like all the other flats they have taken out that families could ride together.

Personally, I'd just like to see some simple rides come back.  A scrambler, tilt-a-whirl, baloon race, etc. are great and simple family flats.

perhaps the new bugs bunny themed section of the park will bring back some of these higher capacity family rides?

I agree with Wade.  I still miss Joust-A-Bout which in my eyes was a fun family ride.  Ironically today, I was thinking about our old Scrambler when we kept hearing that it would be relocated and the ride's parts were actually placed where Pirates Flight used to be, and then all of a sudden they disappeared never to be seen again.

For the most part, in 2007 I would just like to see the park have smooth operations with no staffing issues, no ride break downs and no rides being MIA all season (Batman Chiller).  After that, I hope they continue the pace with the improvements.  The place is looking better and better every day!  And finally, YES, they need to add some good ol' family flats back.  They are dearly missed.  :cry:

Like many others I'd like to see all parachutes working again, as well as both sides of Skyride!  Staffing good enough for three trains on the big coasters as well.  Get Batman the Chiller open and maybe get some theming back into Batman the Ride.  Rolling Thunder did race this year, but I can't remember ever seeing 4 trains on it, so try for that.  New trains on Runaway Train would rock, and it would be even cooler (but zero chance) of having it at 3 train operation.  Finally, better flats, but we know we're at least getting one next year, possibly more in BBNP.

Maybe an Intamin Gyro Drop. I believe the ring holds 60 people (correct me if I'm wrong) and would do wonders for capacity.

A flat would be nice too, like a 40 seat Screamin Swing or a Huss Giant Frisbee (maXair was incredible!!!).

For 2007, I would like 1 more year of a really good park cleanup, and 2-3 flats. the first would be the much needed frop ride that we have desperately needed for the past few years. Another flat would be something along the intensity line of a Huss Giant Frisbee, or something of that nature. The last would be a family ride the whole family can enjoy.

An alternative to adding those flats would be adding a much needed dark ride. I actually think this is even more overdue than the drop tower, as GADV has NO dark rides whatsoever. Some ideas for the ride would be a ride similar to MIB-Alien Attack/Buzz Lightyear at MK, a ride similar to Spiderman/DarKastle, or finally a heavily themed coaster similar to ROTM at USF/Expedition Everest. The problem with the last idea is that it would be similar to Skull Mountain, so that would be my last choice. I don't think SF would spend the big bucks on a ride similar to Spiderman, so that is out. I think an interactive dark ride like MIB would be the best fit for GADV, as it is affordable, is for the whole family, and most people LOVE these types of rides.

With Snyder and Shapiro, I think our chances just went WAY up for a dark ride.

Hmm, the Sally interactive rides like GhostHunt at LC would be neat! I wouldn't mind a Spiderman style ride like Nitro118 suggested but, we have to wait and see how far and elaborate Our new chairmen are going to be.
