Some areas of the water park look good, but most of the slides do look washed out. That look would go well if they themed the water park to the coast as many things over there quickly get a washed out look from the sun and salt air. Any other theme, though, would benefit from fresh paint.

Well, theming to the coast? I like that. They could add more palm trees, maybe a boardwalk kind of deal, things like that.

That would be kinda cool, and add a ring of fire! or may a horror ride, which ever would be fine! I THINK A GYRO DROP would be great!

The SOUTHERN STAR NEEDS TO GO, and maybe they can put a ring of fire there or a giant Frisbee there. My vote on the repaint would be the intimidator, since it counts as planet snoopy, since FURY 325 took its fame and thrill :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: !

So no more pavers??? You know you need the pavers to drop the air temp 5 degrees from the 15 degrees it was raised because half the trees are gone... :lol:

We need a couple of high thrill flat rides. Myself, after visiting four awesome and historic parks in Pennsylvania last month, I would love to see County Fair add some classic rides like Round Up, Tilt A Whirl, Tea Cups, Paratroopers, etc. Not that much room to expand there though. Will not take high end high thrill flat rides for me. Guess I am getting old. One thing I did remember was what Uncle Jerry said when I talked to him this morning briefly. I mentioned one thing I did miss about the park was that several classic rides are no more. He made the comment 'then you will love what is coming up in the future! '


If the park moved the action theater to the pocket of spa next to the Rapids entrance(see the map), then we could easily expand into the parking lot and at that point, the possibilities of what the park could fill with that space are endless!


No need to move action theater. Yoyo is a portable ride, they can just move it and make it the pathway to behind Action Theater and get to an exapanded water park thru there. (Our particular Yoyo sucks anyway, it's like it doesn't even go at full setting.) My idea would mean the expanded water park would be REALLY large on the other side of Thunder Road, but that's exactly what they have at KD, you walk under Rebel Yell and it's the other 1/2 of the water park.

I'm guessing you are hoping for ThunderRoad to be painted WHITE like it originally was? Me too! Not only does it make it more attractive, but it makes it look more intimidating looking for some reason, at least for me.

I don't know about you guys, but I would love to see a Flying Super Saturator type ride return to the park. It's only been 6 years since it was removed, they still have it in storage right... Hopefully.

I guess I'll say what I've been saying for the last 5 years. Screamin' Swing. Make it happen. The park needs a few more flat rides, and this would be an excellent one to start with. Maybe add back in the Gauntlet and run it like it used to be run when it first opened. Waterpark expansion is always good - that keeps folks off the coasters that I want to ride :lol:

I'm really hoping for a new water ride for the park. I know the water park needs additions, but it would be great for a new ride in the main park interacting with water. Doesn't even need to be a coaster. I miss the log flume. Maybe something like Shoot the Rapids with new improvements from Intamin. Who knows.
Thanks again for a great day at the announcement. Our home park is the talk of the industry and let's enjoy it.

I don't see another Screamin Swing coming after all the problems the on at CP has had but they do need some non coaster thrill rides.
