I don't care if it is longer. My dream is to ride it some day and have at least 95% of the targets and guns working. But alas, it is but a dream...

If we do get a Triotech dark ride in Boo Blasters' building, I would prefer for it to not be interactive. I feel like it would be redundant with Plants vs Zombies nearby. I know that interactivity would make the ride more re-rideable, but I'd like to just sit back and experience it.

Fixed it for ya! :thumbup:

With or without the mountain? I would like to see the Paladium roof expanded and turned into something like WMG, instead of one mountain have the front look like mountain range.

The Triotech dark rides, like any simple dark ride, doesn't need to take up much room. I'd like to see it put in either the 5th Ward building, or the Zombie High building.

Then I'd like them to do something with the other side of the Action Theater and refurbish Boo Blasters.

Ohhh I thought you meant style.

There is a way to use projection mapping on some of the current rides.
You just have to think imaginatively, and have the budget in mind :thumbup:

Flat rides can be rather interesting, especially from a ride operator's standpoint. There is much more guest interaction for the operator. So if you have a great operator and a fun ride, (and guests who actually talk and like to have fun), it makes for a wonderful atmosphere for those riding, the one(s) operating, the ones waiting in line, and the midway in general. I am very excited to see these coming soon. Working at a coaster is fun, but working at a flat ride can make for an interesting experience.

Looks like Dockside fries is on the way out. This permit calls for the removal of a picnic structure:
Isn't that where Black Widow used to be? Seems like the Troika would be a good fit there.

Dockside Fries and the Picnic structure are two separate buildings. I am pretty sure that Dockside is an original or very early building and coexisted with Black Widow. I will do more research and report back.

Black Widow and Dockside buildings lived together next to each. Look to the right of White Lightning's loop and spike. I wonder if the walky area was as narrow as it looks.
