It’s all coming down.

That would be nice but it's possible the current attendance numbers and revenue don't warrant a budget increase. It would be great to see what the actual park attendance figures are for all of the parks in the chain, but Six Flags won't release that information. Cedar Fair just proved that the TEA/AECOM numbers can't be trusted. TEA/AECOM had 2017 attendance for Knott's Berry Farm at 4,034,000 people and Cedar Fair said during the last earnings call that attendance for the park in 2018 was 6,000,000+ people. I find it hard to believe that attendance suddenly increased by 2 million people. Great Adventure could be doing much better or much worse than the TEA/AECOM numbers show. The type of additions Great Adventure has been receiving appears to indicate that the park is performing on par with Six Flags Over Texas.

If the park was going to add a new stunt show, I would expect something similar to what Six Flags America is doing. https://www.sixflags.com/america/attractions/battle-badlands

You should see track for the B&M Hyper coaster arriving soon. There is a bunch of brown track at Clermont Steel Fabricators right now.

No, I don’t get it. Can you try again in a language that resembles English? Perhaps you should start running your posts through a spell checker.

That's what I was thinking too. I don't think Dorney needs the picnic area at the front of the park anymore now that they have the new dining area at the back of the park. It might be a good place for a wing coaster.

Now that Cedar Fair is working with Feld Entertainment (Monster Jam) in 2019, I am curious if a Cedar Fair park will receive the B&M wing coaster concept that was shown off at IAAPA. The Grave Digger Freestyle Run is a lower capacity B&M wing coaster that only seats 20 riders per train. https://www.feldentertainment.com/PressRoom/DisplayPressRelease/94602/

Looking good, the whole thing should be gone by June 1st.

You mean the one across from Big Belly Burger and next to The Penguin? I just noticed that the pool is missing from the height restriction map of the park on the Batman project plan that was submitted to the Vallejo Planning Board (page 176 of the following document). http://vallejo.hosted.civiclive.com/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=14936427 It looks like there is currently a 25 ft. tall height restriction in that area. A Chance Rides Freestyle has a max height of 22 ft. 3 in. and a 48 ft. footprint without the queue. https://www.chancerides.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/freestyle_park_specsheet.pdf

It's nice to see all of the new improvements to the park.

It would be cool if the park found a way to add a family GCI or Gravity Group wood coaster that runs through some of the empty spaces in the Adventure Seaport area. They could build in a pass-through for the paths where the coaster crosses over. I changed the angle of the bend in White Lightning from Fun Spot America to fit some of the empty spaces. Just a random idea.

This must have been the reason Six Flags didn't build more Proslide RocketBlast water coasters. Hopefully they build a few more in 2020 now that the ride is more efficient. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TexasThrillSeekers/permalink/2029867620473798/
