benzo41190 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I think that there has to be something for all ages and sizes It also has to have rides that will atract the thrill seeker/coaster lover and the people who want a family atmosphere. There also has to be enough rides that might take a person at least half a day to do. And finally there has to be good quality rides so that people will want to come back.

Jew Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 As many as they can afford. The goal should be to build a complete park from the start and expand upon that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel127 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I agree, those are all basic requirements for starting a new park but I would think for a new park to be successful you would need to have at least one major steel coaster other than a boomerang (but then again, Knoebels doesn't have any steel coasters do they?) as well other classic rides like tilt a whirl, scrambler, heck thow in a good drop tower for good measure too! Btw, they're opening a new park in Kansas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
