Knott's Great America

[speedracer]

Sure people will get used to it, but I know me pesonally I will forever call it "Not Great America" or "Not So Great America."

 

Ironic since I've been calling it Not So GA ever since Paramount ran the place into the ground! Someone mentioned it becoming the Astroworld of the CF chain, was already always considered the AW of the Paramount parks, so no new status there.

 

They really should just change the name, Paramount already strip-mined the original beautiful theming/landscaping out of it, not much of America left in it, let alone anything Great. So really no point in hanging onto a name that has no relevance with the park anymore anyways.

I so agree with you. The name change itself gets a big, old-fashioned *YAWN* from me, and I just don't get why it would bother anyone.

 

I could care less about the name. If it works out for them, great! I personally only care whether they can fix some of the problems with the park that Paramount did to it. For one thing, give me one stand out reason to ever care about visiting there again. Paramount couldn't do it, so if nothing else, a name change at least gives me hope that they are trying to move as far away from that previous ownership as possible.

I hope the first thing that they do is change the half-assed Boomerang Bay into a full fledged Soak City.

 

Five Slides and an endless river does not a water park make.

For me it was already a Not So Great America when they removed both Stealth and Greezed Lightnin' and built a stupid waterpark in 2002/2003.

What will be the next major thrillride that will be removed from the park?

Would you guys feel better if it was "Cedar's Great America" or "Vallyfairs Great America!"

[ECZenith]

I kinda like it, but that's just me.

new orleans orbit should be making a come back this season. hopefully its a trend that cedar keeps up. id like to get the tidal wave back(wishful thinking i know), or at least a new coaster in the next couple of years.

Possible names that would be better: Great America.

 

Although, with Knott's Great America, you get the possibility for an awesome swirly k-leg.

 

I'm looking forward to a ride that's not themed to either a Nickelodeon show or the latest craptastic blockbuster.

I just hope they cram a good coaster or three in that park, at this point I do not care if they are themed or not and if they are going to be, none of this movie or tv stuff.
