Well after seeing your pic of the advertisement board I can stop guessing if the Flyers were one of the 2 "All New Attractions" they had said. Now it makes me wonder if the other attraction is actually new or relocated.

Or perhaps landscape it now so it can be sturdy when the season starts. I dont think it would take much to just lift up some track. Like I kinda said earlier, that location seems to be a key location if they were to expand behind that area because it would be hard to w/ the train running (would have to stop traffic when it crosses the path). But then again it could just very well be new landscaping and nothing more to it!

Also is it me or does that sign look very nick-ish...........

I doubt the train is going anywhere, just remember that was my throught about the Sternwheeler too. I think the things happening around Tube Shoot are for a new walkway around to Zoom Zone.

1) Maybe its just me...but I really think that the Sternwheeler would look really out of place in the location that they had planned for it. To me, it probably stick out like a sore thumb in that spot.

2) Maybe they'll drop the name of ZZ and just call the whole area Animation Station or one huge Nick Central.

3) Still curious what that second ride is.

Well after today I dont think the train is going anywhere. I think they just wanted to spruce up the area, however the front right of AA is bleeding (in a sense) orange. Makes you wonder. And max I was thinking about the second attraction today also. I was thinking about a family attraction that was on the many surveys but non really crossed my mind.

Jarvis---------> Who main concern now is wondering what the parks will be removing instead of adding lately

I agree. But they could have put it somewhere else. Maybe put it between Top Gun and Action FX and make it a museum or restaurant, or both!

It's sad that it's gone, but oh well. No use crying over spilt milk as they say. who is They anyway?

Final numbers usually aren't released to the public until the end of December, or first of the year.

At the recent "Flying Eagle" meeting, Max & I were informed the park did not break the 2 million attendance mark for the 2004 season. On the other hand, financially, it was their best year ever.

That's really good to know that this was their best year ever.

I would think the year that Top Gun came would be, but then again that was 5 years ago.

I hate that they didn't reach 2MM, but I'm sure they did better than last year. Or at least I hope so. lol

This might make the park consider putting in a new coaster sooner than later, but you never can tell.

I'm just glad the paark is doing so well.

Do you think a new coaster would really push them over the top? Top Gun didn't do it. Borg didn't do it. Would a hyper really do it? A new GCI? I don't see the redo of AS doing it. New flats?

Just what would be the thing that would push them over 2 million?

Do people around here really that much about themeing or "The Best of Hollywood. Now Playing."

^Well wern't we really close this year. If we were, then just a mediocre attraction would be needed to push us over the 2mm? I'm thinking that the AS redo just might even do it.

Why does the number of guests matter if the park is doing well financially?

More guest= more money spent on admissions, food, games etc.
