I always thought it was fairly accurate. You have to take into account inertia on the fly though so I can see how some would not have much success with it.

Hotel Announcement, PS Expansion and retheme to Camp Snoopy, Vortex plaza renovation, Vortex conversion, Overall clean ups around the park. I wonder if they are going to change the name and theme on Vortex, Or should I say add a theme on Vortex. :thumbup:

I don't think Vortex gets converted this year. I think it's just the kid's upgrades. But I've been wrong before...

Yeah to be honest CP should of just left Mantis alone. Ridership hasn't really changed all that much. I could see that coming down for future expansion. Who knows. I could see a theming change from planet snoopy to Camp Snoopy. Maybe a giant Frisbee?

CGA's Vortex (now Patriot) is shorter and was converted. Mind you only 120 feet shorter, but there's no issue with it getting converted due to length.

Which has very little to do with Vortex unless it is the ride being relocated.

Conversions are meh. I think Rougarou's ridership went up the first season but then dropped back down to where Mantis is. Its almost a waste of money. Unless the trains for a stand up cost more to maintain then a floorless. I just don't see the benefit in it. Maybe its just me haha
