The CGA expansion is something to look at. But I question what the timeline is on their expansion compared to when the initial report was made that Carowinds, Valleyfair, and CGA were mentioned as growth parks. The question is: is this a new thing at CGA, or is the announcement born from the land disputes with the city? I know that Cedar Fair has a lease on the park until 2072 so how long is this expansion spread out? And with this recent announcement, what will happen first after Carowinds? CGA or VF?

HOW DARE YOU TALK BOUT MY BABY LIKE DAT!

And rich. Don't forget rich.

CP fanboys will be pissed when they hear this.

Anyone else think they should substitute blood at KSF this year for Boysenberries?

^Maybe for the discounts, a combo ticket with any number of other MOA attractions. Most likely Nick U and FOA. Or a general MOA attraction ticket.

Riffing off of ^ said about Carowinds' expansion for a bit while looking at their 2017 plans: the relocated rides from Europe. I'd love to see an old Troika where the tilter used to be or in Wild Thing's Helix. And now for a couple of my trademark stupid ideas that come from me being drunk on Vanilla Mountain Dew: Red outline: Possible location for triotech dark ride? I am aware that is currently Zombie High/Storage and games area. But the two could somehow be combined into one building for it. If there's enough space. Blue outline: Possible small family coaster? Presumably Vekoma make. And now after those insanely stupid ideas, I'm probably gonna have a bit of a hangover. crazy ideas

Judging by the dirt piles, It's sandwiched between Pegasus and the highway. Required the removal of a go-kart track.

Big question here: If Hurler is SBNO for the season, WHY IS IT ON THE MAP?! ',:/

So... you two aren't coming to the park then? Sweet! Shorter lines=more rides for me!

Original Shoot the Rapids? You mean Gemini H20?

Wow, haunt prep is starting early this year.

Time for another stupid idea that may/may not be feasible. Those plans that show Excalibur being razed for a parking lot show the access road being re-routed around Thunder Canyon and Renegade. That access road passes through Renegade. How cool would it be if a coaster went through that hole made for the access road? RCT pipe dream, I know--especially with Thunder Canyon in the way. Either way, I'm going to keep dreaming up stupid stuff.

Okay, stupid idea time. Picture 1: Red Outline: Gate coaster. Whatever make & model it could be. Blue Outline: Last summer, on my route to/from the park from the dorms, I saw some markings that could possibly relate to a future coaster. Unfortunately, I have no photographic evidence or it would be posted. Black squiggles: a flat ride or two. Whatever they may be. Or the black and blue (within current park bounds) would combine for a new flat area of the park This also leaves that area to the west open for Haunt/storage while eliminating Dinos Alive. Picture 2: Red squiggles: queue/station that takes out Riptide Blue outline: Coaster that takes out Corkscrew. Goes around Ferris Wheel. If layed out correctly, it could also be the home for a small flat. Picture 3: The exit for Enterprise bothers me and needs to be relocated. See blue line for possible relocation. Picture 1 aka the most out there of ideas Corkscrew/Riptide killer Re-routing Enterprise

I don't see Carowinds getting a new coaster until 2019/2020. I expect/hope it will be a GCI woodie replacing Dinos Alive.

If you're hoping for those 5 new European flats, that's most likely out of the question. Carolina Harbor not being open yet but being featured on the map could very well confuse and anger some of the less intelligent guests. Speaking of those flats, where could they go?

SFMM would be nearly empty! More YOLO/TC time for the rest of us.

In terms of drinking games, who'd get more drunk? A person who was drinking for every "Boat" mention or "contract" mention? Though at the end, we'd all look like this:

Yes thank you for posting an article that requires a password to read. Can you not just quote the relevant passage(s)?

Now even the waterparks are getting gate rides.

This thread is making me question who talks about sailing terms more: CP thread, or Tumblr.

Though with what Carowinds/CGA are doing this year with PvZ/Mass Effect respectively--I wonder if either of those are the aforementioned Amusement Dark attractions for these parks? Personally, I hope not.

That spot has been filled by the relocated Scrambler that was at a dead end in Planet Snoopy.

Sorry, I know this is off topic of STR, but does anyone know the power levels (Voltage or wattage) Wicked Twister uses? I'm just doing a small report on the feasibility of LIM transportation. Back to STR for a second, does anyone else find it ironic how we're all complaining about that missing boat, and now CP is removing a boat ride? ',:^I

Personally, I see a couple flat rides on the mainland (where the station/queue are currently located), and eventually (when Dinos Alive leaves) the remainder of Adventure Island be used for a coaster that interacts with Millennium Force. They already have a gift shop in place for it.
