I don't think our park needs to replace it's most state of the art roller coaster. A compact raptor would fit in the Boomerang and tidal wave location. Anything can fit in the area around Ninja.

Over Texas, on the other hand, has long been rumored to be removing Freeze. Even so, it won't happen for at least 5 years. Right now, Tormenta and the new completely redone Spain section, which includes a new Spanish themed restaurant, is the parks main focus. That plus visual and theming enhancements. For example, the Southern Palace Theater is getting renovated with all new Theater style seating. These are the main things going on at SFOT right now.

I 100% hope so and strongly voiced my opinion on that when I had the chance to talk to the higher ups; not that my voice necessarily means anything to them. However, we were told that there will be some kind of celebration, we kicked around some ideas we had, and it was promised to keep ACE in the loop for whatever comes to fruition. Now how elaborate that ends up being? No one knows at this point. 1

Now how elaborate that ends up being? No one knows at this point. At this point I would not believe anything. Joker Fun House - Open by Summary 2025. Nothing. Screaming Eagle 50th "Oh yeah, that will be done by May 2026" sadly I see nothing happening. That Bat Mobile coming back to the ride line in 2020, nothing. The park can't even fix the lighting on the "new sign" they built by the highway. The first thing ppl see passing by is a broken sign that no longer lights up on one side, they were better off leaving the old one there. If the park can't change light bulbs I don't have much hope...
thepoint4life23 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 They survey is so odd to me, I know a few other parks got them last year. What i know is most the stuff is already 2-3 if not 4-6 years planned out. Is this just going to be the start of parks getting a bunch of clones again. Say three parks results come back and a launch coaster was the highest vote so will all 3 get a off the shelf pre designed model.

And I get all that, but to be fair I don't think it is so much we are flat out lying to you as much as plans and executing those plans are not always sympatico. While something like the sign is annoying to many of us, I guarantee you if you asked people in the park about it on any given day 90% of them wouldn't have even noticed but will be aware of improvements/problems inside the park. Not an excuse, the sign should be fixed, but perhaps an explanation on priorities. No rose colored glasses here though, I am well aware these things may or may not happen. As I said, just staying positive.

So both things could be true; that there are 5 year plans AND that they won't all happen.
