SFMM

2017 Justice league and Removal of Viper area left barren

2018 Giant Frisbee

2019 Super Loop

2020 New Gen Enterprise

2021 T-Rex Giga

[Rollercoaster Rider]

Knott's Berry Farm

 

2017- Soak City Expansion (Announced)

2018- Fiesta Village Renovation w/ New Ride in Windseeker's Spot (I'm Thinking a Star Flyer) Boomerang Removed

2019- Compact Thrill Coaster in Boomerang & Riptide's Old Area (I'm Thinking an RMC Wooden or T-Rex Coaster)

2020- Knott's 100th Anniversary Celebration

2021- Celebration Continues

 

Agree with 3 changes:

If you relocate Wipeout to another area, You'd have even more room with the Boomerang/Riptide area.

Also for the Flat ride in Windseeker's spot, I'm thinking of a Gerstlauer Sky Roller (Like Skyhawk at Canada's Wonderland)

And maybe in 2021, a new slide/attraction for Soak City?

[RollingCoasting]

 

My predictions for new SFGAm additions:

 

2018 - Water Coaster in Hurricane Harbor. It'll have been 7 years since the last HH addition and a water coaster seems like it would fit in well. For location, Pictorium or that plot of sand would work. Also, MAYBE a Demon refurbishment.

 

2019: Flat pack including a Sky Screamer (Sky Trail's spot) and a Giant Discovery (Trailblazer's spot?)

 

2020: Launch Coaster - This is something a lot of people have been waiting for for a while. Possibly the Yamaha clone that was supposed to go to SFNE or maybe a custom. This could replace TDK or Winner's Circle Go-Karts.

 

2021: New big family area, possibly where Mardi Gras is

 

2022: New light show

[Jason Maier]

My home park . . . . Six Flags America

 

2017: (I already know it's getting Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth) . . . but I'd also like to see a 100th birthday celebration of the Wild One

2018: Roar finally gets the RMC treatment

2019: A Dark Ride

2020: don't know

2021: don't know

 

In general, I'd like to see SFA use more of their available land space . . . . .

[wmay]

Liseberg: (plans are already set for 2017-18)

 

2019: Complete re-do of Sagoslottet (a rather old school fairy tale themed dark ride), both the ride itself and the existing castle facade. Updated animatronics, projection mapping, etc. The entire southern part of the park would be rebuilt to resemble a medieval village with a more spiffy looking castle as the focal point.

 

2020: Nothing major. Re-theming all the game booths/buildings from cheap amusement park style to a more aesthetically pleasing theme corresponding with the theme of the surrounding area.

 

2021: Tearing out the game house south of Sagoslottet and replacing it with a rabbit land dark ride (the Liseberg mascot is a pink and green rabbit). Think similar to Splash Mountain but traditional dark ride cars instead of a log flume water type of attraction.

 

2022: Mainly focusing on updating building facades so that all areas of the park have a more distinctly themed look. All remaining neon carnival looking areas of the park will be updated to a more "classy" nostalgic look.

 

2023: Liseberg turns 100! A large free spinning wing coaster will be located on the northern mountain next to the main entrance. Think X2 at SFMM but free spinning instead of controlled spinning cars.

Flume Ride will become part dark ride. After the second lift hill riders will enter an abandoned mine. The ride will continue through a cave system until the final drop at which point it will return to the open air ride it was before.

The building behind Valkyria will become a walk-through type of attraction where guests wander through a dark forest where they will encounter various trolls and other creatures associated with nordic mythology.

Canada's Wonderland

2018 - full Wild Beast re-track (partially done on one element for last year)

Don't touch my el toro!

[I Like Theme Parks.]

A few spots on El Toro, especially the big turn after the two big airtime hills have a bit of a rattle, but not much else can really be improved on.

[pryonisys]

Cedar Point

 

2015 - Rework Mantis into a floorless, which is the big rumor right now.

2016 - New dark ride in the old Pirate Ride building since the Blue Streak area is probably the deadest in the park. Remove the Turnpike ride at the end of the season and relocate the Calypso.

2017 - Build new Gerstlauer spinning coaster in Turnpike's spot. A refurbished Calypso is relocated where the 3-Point challenge is across from Wicked Twister (old Chaos spot).

2018 - General improvements throughout the park. Mean Streak takes it's final rides in in the current set up in August to begin RMC makeover.

2019 - New Mean Streak opens.

 

Waldameer

 

2015 - New wave pool opens in current Peninsula Drive parking lot.

2016 - A rainfortress with large tipping bucket opens next to new wave pool.

2017 - General improvements including a new food court in the old Carousel pavilion behind the Music Express

2018 - A Zamperla Air Race opens by Steel Dragon

2019 - A Gerstlauer Euro-fighter with lap bars opens behind Mega Vortex in part of the forested picnic area. New picnic facilities are built to replace what was lost in the Euro-fighter construction.

 

So I know this was from a long time ago, but if this was the route Waldameer took I'd be very happy with it (obviously with the fixed dates, moving everything back 1 year from 2016)

[thrillseeker4552]

Knott's Berry Farm

 

2017: Soak City expansion, Sol Spin, Ghost Town Alive!, extended Boysenberry Festival (announced)

2018: Boomerang removed, construction begins for 2019, Sky Cabin replaced with 230-foot Star Flyer

2019: Small-ish B&M Hyper the runs out from Boomerang location across the road into the overflow lot and back or where there is space lol

2020: 100th anniversary celebration with whatever festivities the park has in store

2021: Continue with festivities or possibly a flat ride

 

Most of this is me dreaming (like the rest of this thread). Of course, who knows if the park would go for a Star Flyer after their Windseeker episode, and the B&M Hyper is me just being hopeful.

[LeoBruz199]

Cinecittà World:

 

2017: Ride relocations and renames

2018: Nothing

2019: "

2020: Park goes bankrupt and closes down

2021: All rides are either relocated or scrapped.

 

Yeah, this park ain't going anywhere.

[Nrthwnd]

...2020: 100th anniversary celebration with whatever festivities the park has in store.

 

Um, isn't 2020 the 80th Anniversary of Knott's? Not the 100th?

2040 sounds more like the 100th, if all that info. is right.

 

 

 

***But maybe you want it to be Knott's 100th, right?

The Knott family began to farm the land in 1920. I guess the actual theme park / ghost town didn't begin until 1940. Depends how Knott's would want to market it.
