Mean Streak. What to do with it?

I'm torn between Iron Horsing it and bulldozing it and giving RMC 25 Million to design a great wooden coaster. -

I would rather see a new Legoland built from the ground up then converting an old amusement park and removing a good chunk of the rides. Zamperla would probably be the best owner of the property. Or maybe Palace Entertainment? -

^ While I would love for a legitimate dark ride we have to remember that this is Six Flags. However, they have surprised me in the past by replacing Deja Vu with a family area. I just have this feeling that every time they have any sizeable chunk of property available their first thoughts are 'roller coaster.' But, that location is directly adjacent to the waterpark. If we look at the Six Flags 2013 Annual Report linked here we can see that they list the Wisconsin Dells waterparks as a major competitor to the Gurnee park. I could very easily see a waterpark expansion in their continued attempt to outdo the horrible Mt. Olympus and (much better) Noah's Ark. It seems like a proper business strategy to make proactive attempts against your leading competitor. On a side note, Key Lime Cove has a ways to go to outdo the multitude of indoor waterparks like the Kalahari. I would love for Six Flags to add a Blaster type slide. That's about the Only thing I can think Of that our park doesn't have that Wisconsin Dells does. Too bad Great America can't pull a Holiday World and build slides around/through Viper.

You mean barely add anything except for an occasional kids ride or splash area for kids? -

Hopefully Zamperla will takeover the park. Or whoever Standard Amusements is. -
I'm pretty sure Knott's considers the Boardwalk to be from Supreme Scream to Wheeler Dealer, and I consider this section of the park to be the most lacking for sure. The 2013 boardwalk additions definitely helped balance that area, it would be cool to breathe some life into the former Roaring 20's area near the theater. I have hopes for this part of the park for sure, but as of now, they can do pretty much anything with the KOD building and I'll be happy. (Although I still want them to remove Boomerang, Skytower, Riptide, move Wipeout to Windseekers spot, and place a Mega coaster of any brand there!) I agree about Boomerang. Not so much about Sky Tower.
