Good news is that we did get paint (thank you HITP), and a lazy river is on the way. I for one like the river. If it's going to be anything close to Volcano Bay's, it'll be a blast. Do I believe that something else should have gone with it? Of course. Just glad SFStl type Spinsanity didn't come. Would have been extremely butt hurt. I like the sun,...a lot... More sun the better. I hope they keep the trees in the forest. I agree with the bathroom, but can easily hold it the 4 min and 27 seconds it takes to get to the closest one. Lol,...yeah I timed it. Though, speaking objectively, I agree with the trees, as I know everyone is not a beach comber like myself. Hell, we need a path between Coyote Creek and Superman, with a third entryway to Roar. You are right. This thread did deflate. There was actually a lot less complaining than I thought though. The disappointment was too much I think. Of course the occasional, 'I'm not renewing my pass" talk kicked in a couple of times. Sometimes I see the same people say that year to year. Everyone is renewing, especially for a measly 50.99.

Cue the music

That's what I keep saying. Just by eyeballing it, it is easy to see that attendance has been up the last 2 years. Maybe they are happy where they are at right now. Key phrase, 'right now '.

Yes, I can get behind that. Though, let's not forget about Thunder Road. They did a lot of retracking too. Rerides are a must. The second to last seat gives a superb ride. Looking forward to the cold weather, as the ride seems to really come out of hibernation.

I'm so jealous that you don't remember November 9, 2016. Because that day drastically effected your life so much. You still live in a free country where you post in a themepark forum every day. As for SFA, I think they are moving the way of Dorney park in a sense that there is no need to pay attention to the dry side as much when the waterpark is the main draw. I somewhat disagree. In the last 5 years, they added to the dry side 3 times, and the water park twice. Even in one of those water park years, they added VR. Our current lazy river was terrible. As said earlier, people will like this when it gets here. The only problem is that people aren't going to plan a trip to experience Wahoo River. Since a great much of the park was repainted/repaired, they can use a lot of the extra funds to finish the last 10%. Maybe repaint a ride or two. Do not buy in to anyone that says the ALL of the buildings need some TLC. This was true before HITP, but they refreshed every building before the event,not including Gotham. That's what they have to square away.

I have to say. This thread isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

You know what would really fire them up? To find out that the Free Fly that went to GAdv was bought for SFA. The park president didn't want it for some reason (common, etc).

People got too hyped up with the teasers. Just like great trailers for a movie, then let down once you plop down the cash. People will like it once it's here.

As I stay in the waterpark, I like the addition, especially considering how bad the current river is. Wish something else had went with it, but can't have everything. This will be an instant hit. I'm looking forward to see what route it takes. So glad no Spinsanity (SFSTL type). Would have been tremendously butthurt. Here's hoping that the markers in Gotham are for a bathroom or trail.

Lol,..we all posted just about the same time with the same answer.

No. The Raptor was a world's first.

Did anyone else notice the guy walking in the back during the Castaway Creek part? Also the water in the falls were going backwards.

He also pointed at the Lazy River in the last moment.

There is a new teaser?

You can build in protected wetlands if measures are taken to protect it. That's how home builder's get away with it many times. Shipwreck Falls would be a bad loss. It always has a line, people always gather around it to look, and it is the only ride where you get truly soaked on the dry side. People love that bridge,..both of them!

I've never heard of that forum.

I would have laughed at this before. I've always thought a Superfriends retheme would be stupid for SFA, as their kid's areas are more than fine. Now,...if they retheme to DC Universe, they almost have to do Superfriends just to fit the area. Of course, this would be idiotic for a 'main' announcement. The rides in both the kid's areas are fine. Another thing. Just about every area of the park has gotten new paint/building repair/signage,etc, except for Gotham (not including ground art, and all of the rides getting new signs, with a little paint to go with it) and Whistlestop Park. The other kid's spot (Bugs Bunny Movie Town), has been refreshed completely (not including the purple railings..lol). This non-refresh, could support the retheming theory.

Clue or bluff? Bluff. They probably wanted to mess with folks one last time...pretty funny

I thought this was funny.

Now they are teasing in front of ROAR . Come on SFA, no one is falling for that.

I hope you are right, but I bet most will just make a new email address, then sign back up. Probably should start banning IPs, but there is a way around that too.

I hope folks listen. This is the first year in a while that I do not have a clue. I want to be surprised.

I'll stick to what I said last year: water coaster. If I am wrong, slide complex seems likely. Also now believe DC Universe retheme, and PBR removal for something in 2019. Is that a reach? Of course, but that's the fun of it all. Maybe Castaway Creek upgrade too. This will be a year of multiple things going on.

Ok, last chance. Get your predictions/wants in. We all know how there is leakage the day before.
