Can another ride fit in the county fair area? A tilt-a-whirl would fit the schematics of a county fair perfectly! Or perhaps a troika or monster.

Whats the estimated cost to adding light packages to all the flat rides. Ims sure the LEDs are cheaper than your classic carnival light packages and they do more light effects or shows. I like what CP did to monster, I can def see this package on screamweaver with effects like windseeker's package. Even Hurler can use a light package like Mean Streak have.

I think if they redo County fair like CP did Gemini Midway that area would be amazing and yes add more classic carnival flats, which I think would be the good ole spin and puke rides that I love!!!

^I agree with everything you mentioned. We need lighting packages and County Fair needs some love.

Valleyfair moved two of their original rides to their new section this year and gave them new LED packages do there is hope.

I would also like to see a Black Widow/Octopus type ride return, as well as carnival rides such as Paratrooper, Cobra, and Himalaya. And how about a big ferris wheel?

Nighthawk is fun, but it is always best to ride it first before the lines get too unbearable. I wish this version of the flyer ride had the dual loading stations like Firehawk at KI. Of course, I still like how it has many more elements than SFOG's Superman Ultimate Flight - everything after S-UF's awesome pretzel loop is blah!

We all are wanting a top spin, giant frisbee, our wave swinger and the gauntlet back and screamin swings. I think that's in agreement across the board. No transplants tho. KD can keep there's, we can get a more brand new reliable one.

I agree! It would be preferable if the top spin, etc. was brand new.. maybe a bigger, taller, and faster version of one of the current / similar rides out there? How about a taller version of maXair that goes 80mph? A bigger, badder Skyhawk would be a nice touch too! Of course, I'd assume both are more doubtful, but one can dream!

It doesn't have to be " bigger, taller, faster" to be a great flat. All the flats that I seem to enjoy are normal sized rides. They also seem to have less problems then their larger counterparts...

What they need to do, is remove drop zone, sell it, then put something like falcons fury! Or get rid of the asylum building, then put in a flat ride there. :D

No, please do not remove drop zone. Our drop zone packs a much harder punch than other, taller drop towers.

Yeah...remove a nearly 100% dependable ride for something that hasn't even taken one passenger and has been delayed for months...
