Actually I know just what I would want to see happen. Some nice new flat rides. Take out NIght Hawk, send im back to Great America. Take back our swings. And then build a BM Flyer in old location of Night Hawk.

Reasonably speaking, I believe you will see CF pilot their new Intamin log ride at CP this year with the intention of seeing just how popular and how good it is ~ with that in mind, if successful, they will take a look at giving us something on that order, along with Valleyfair(who also lost their log ride), provided Valleyfair is not "dealt off". The logs WERE a popular ride at our park, despite the long wait, and many have voiced their unhappiness at having lost that ride. To us, just another log ride. To others, something to look forward to on their "once every couple of years" visit to the park.

Personally, I would like an S & S Swing, some kind of Frisbee and an Intamin woody on the order of El Toro!

Just about any type of Frisbee would do for me, but the Huss Giant Frisbee is the best of the ones I have rode. Also, if Nighthawk is traded for a new flyer, I would put the new flyer where the old wavepool is(and more of the waterpark), and put a new riverboat back where Nighthawk is. Of course, that will never happen, but one can dream.

Getting the boat back would be awesome. Like you said one can dream. As for the place of the flyer I still say the same place as Night Hawk. They should add some tunnels and few rock fountains and effects kinda like Mantis. I like its very appealing to see Night Hawk when you walk in the front gate.

What I would like to see in the future:

1. New trains and refurb on cyclone.
2. Take out Vortex or put a different type of train on it
3. Retrack Hurler
4. Remove the forced waterfall at Rip Roarin Rapids and put in side effects like waterfalls, more geysers, etc. And maybe some more work there
5. Restore the original names. What exactly was wrong with the Gauntlet, Frenzoid, etc.?
6. Take out action theater and put in a better motion simulator, or a very good dark ride
7. Refurb the sky tower with a super gyro cab

8. They really need a ride under the bridge... I know its a service road but it looks stupid to have a huge bridge right at the front of the park looking down on a road.
9. Change all the queue line rails to stainless steel or something - the chipping paint look year after year is a bit overdone

I'd love to see a spinny and launch coaster come soon. Aside from that, Some dynamic slides in the waterpark, a couple of thrilling flats (including a Giant Frisbee or something similar) and one of those new fangled flumes like the Point is getting.

I like your style. The Skytower glass is way too foggy. I don't think new trains would help Vortex, its god-awful. A dive machine like Griffon could fit there no problem and be taller. faster and longer and not take up much more space. Also agree that a good dark ride should be where the action theater is. As far as the Cyclone trains, they don't bother me.
