I would love a pathway to crossroads but it doesn’t look like their is room. The path could go behind boo blasters which I would like as long as you couldn’t see the back of boo blasters

that's exactly my point. **IF** they make a path to connect, they have 2 options: close to where that screening wall was removed (what I circled in yellow) or the "long way" around the circle of the new flat ride, basically making a little island out of boo blasters and the flyers (assuming they go on that pad). I'm with you, I wouldn't want to be able to see what basically looks like a loading dock.

Pic attached of the area. They obviously must need the "backstage" area or they would have built it. Pre-demolition, this was google earth street view of the area.

Personally I'm hoping they just add some landscaping behind boo blasters and route a path as I've drawn in blue. yellow circle is a pretty good estimate of the construction site pic someone took from the air on a ride

^Not. . . half bad

Am I the only one who doesn't want a path behind Boo Blasters? I think it will make the area look crowded, like a concrete pad.

[uscbandfan]

One reason why they could be putting the flyers in now is logistics.
Quite possibly its just simply easier to get them in now than after the coaster is built and ease of access is taken away and they have to navigate through the park or around the new coaster.

Sometimes easier is better.

^ I'm hoping for the new path. The area in and around PvsZ has always seemed like an after thought with no flow. A path from the new fair area directly to dodgems will open it up tremendously.

But it's still nothing worthwhile back there to attract people. You have a (what the GP will deem) a raggedy looking swing and an uncomfortable boat ride. All the rides back there are easily view from near top gun and the plaza in front of chick fila. Fury 325 is at the end of a dead end. I personally don't think the problem is flow but being if it's even worthwhile going back there.

[sccoasterbear]

I understand what you are saying about that area. The best traffic that area ever had was when you had Thunder Road, Wherling Dervish (sp), Meteorite, and Wild Bull and of course Dodgems. Oh and I about forgot Frenzoid.

[coasterbruh]

You could argue that when they built the theater a lot more people went back there as 3D was still fresh and not as asscessible. Now, every household has at least 2 ways to access 3D items so its not so special in a theme park anymore. I feel if they just create a real dark ride back there things would improve . . .

[Panthersfan43]

I would have liked yo yo to be removed for the flyers and a new flat ride to go by the coaster. If their is a new pathway to crossroads the GP would see the flyers and think it is a new ride and might spend more time in crossroads

the area is a little cul de sac or dead end with crappy, forgettable attractions in it right now. Especially the broken/no tilt yoyo...that should just be called a "Yo" since it only halfway works (and is redundant with the other swing ride). A path connecting dodgems to the construction area would definitely bring more direct path to the county fair area directly from the south gate, and maybe force them to upgrade the area with better attractions (get rid of yoyo and p vs z), and then possibly in 2020 they put something significant (RMC? giant frisbee?) in the dinos area accessible from south entrance before the top gun bridge.

it's like my own little simulation making all these improvements to their park

If these are really our seats, I love it!! (Off the Mack tour video). Combined with the dark supports, it will fit the copperhead/old barn look really well.

I know the track is ours, but aren’t those trains headed for a Blue Fire clone in China?

I think so.I had no clue what they were saying but it showed blue fire.it would make sense if the same color trains are used for our coaster

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

I thought they were our trains but then I could clearly hear the guy say "these are going to china" After searching this park in china is getting a launch Mack... Wuxi Wanda City.

Sucks because I thought the same thing, I liked them hahaha!

EDIT: Sorry tarheel you had mentioned it was a bluefire clone going to china!

That's my point, make a path all the way around dodgems and interact with some of the coaster connecting seamlessly with the new round pad area presumably for flyers.. again a path all the way around. Integrate the entrance to "new coaster" along that same path and it would flow great from the County Fair.

Once that's accomplished, it opens up a lot of room for a few more flats where TR station was along with revamping the entire area between dodgems and "YO".

(This is a slightly different subject but I also like the idea of moving the park entrance to the waterpark out of County Fair to tie in with a path to the South Gate.)
