As we wrap up the last couple weekends of the season, one has to not only wonder what new additions we will see next year, but also what will be missing when the park opens in the Spring of 2011.

Removed rides and attractions sometimes seem to be even more common than new additions over the last several years. What do you think will be missing when Great Adventure reopens next year?

Music Express since it is listed for sale and maybe a couple of kiddie rides. Possibly Fantasy Fling since there is always the rumor of that ride leaving and it's old. I hope nothing else is removed because every non coaster ride at this point is so important in a park that has so few rides.

If he told you he would get in trouble.

I also don't think the GITPP will return.

I've heard a (pretty reliable) rumor that the much despised mandatory lockers will be going away.

Keep in mind, that's just a rumor I'm hearing, but it comes from pretty well placed sources.

I'm actually surprised it is even a rumor. I had hoped when Weber took over the lockers would be removed but then when I saw all the cutbacks in order to save money it seemed like he would be even more unlikely to get rid of them since they have to bring in some money for the park. After thinking about it, I wouldn't mind seeing the lockers stay if they could be upgraded to similar lockers like Universal has that are free to use.

That would be nice to no longer have locker nazis. The sim theater will be SBNO, which is next to missing. Some of the SBNO rides could be removed next year?

I gotta think Eruption's on the chopping block soon, the cost of maintenance and operation versus profit is probably horribly unbalanced (as it almost never operated with a full load of 6 people this summer.) and it is always having problems. I say take it down and really redo the sim theater with an awesome queue area and cool preshow inside the old queue area.

Oh and no more lockers would make people much more happy to be in the park and encourage more sales of the souvenir cups!
