^ Okay, so if it's mainly for future utilization, why would the money have to be spent now? Wouldn't it be a better cash flow for it to be spent when they need to spend it instead of years ahead of time? Also "better ADA compliant" makes no sense. It's either compliant or it's not. There aren't levels to it. Boss is ADA compliant already. As for the cost not outweighing the positives, that's not the right question (and not the question I asked). SF Corporate is not looking at aesthetics; they're looking at revenue. Spending money to fix Boss's helix has the revenue increasing potential of bringing back guests who may have stopped attending due to Boss's deterioration. How many SF guests do you think are choosing not to come to the park because of Boss's queue?

Awesome! So glad you finally made it out there. Phoenix is just the best. Almost as good as pierogis. -
Boss queue is not being changed. That would be a shame for them not to take advantage of all that open land by not moving the boss queue back and using the space efficiently. Why do they need to do that to put in Catwoman? How would they profit financially from moving the queue? What is the revenue increase that will result from Boss having a different queue configuration? Would it be greater than the cost to construct that queue?

Steel Vengeance. Then you'd have a place to put your keys. -
Don't rain on my parade of a trackless dark ride through the Mary Poppins Universe complete with a Lin-Manuel Miranda animatronic! I'm loving everything about this update. A lot of thought and care have clearly gone into the planning. Whenthis eventually gets completed, it should be pretty remarkable.

^^ Try the Hershey tower next time you're at Hersheypark. It shoots up from the bottom, then when you come to a rest, it slowly lifts you to the top and then shoots you downward. Amazing ride.

Get cookies from the Loaf. It's the one that looks like...a...loaf. -
Top Thrill Dragster is great. I do feel like the lapbars make it a little more pleasant, especially since a lot of the appeal is looking around for a second from absurdly high up. Kingda Ka is great too. It's one of the best rides at Great Adventure, and the view from the top, while not the stunning beauty of Lake Erie, is pretty impressive all the same.
