If I ran the park...

Sorry for the over abundance of new topics, this is my last one
lmao.
If I ran TGE, my ten year plan would be-
2021- Cardiff Giant, a Chance GTX Hyper going in the smoking
areas and flat midway next to Skycoaster. Return of Holiday in
the Park.
2022- Intergalactic Encounters, a Sally Interactive Dark Ride
going alongside Comet and where the little dip behind the fences
next to Supernova is. Area gets rethemed to “Asteroid Alley” or
something along those lines and sees new theming.
2023- Tsunami Surge, a Proslide Water Coaster going in the
employee parking lot and on Mega Wedgie’s (now removed) pad.
2024- Timbertown receives an upgrade. 3 new rides occupy the
old Timbertown theater location, along with a
Moose-on-the-Loose-esque ride being swamp themed and located on
the former Timbertown trail. Return of the dive show (where it
previously was) and petting zoo (nothing huge, located next to
Blizzard).
2025- Upstate SkyScreamer, a ~75 foot Funtime Star Flyer located
on Flying Trapeze’s (now removed) old pad.
2026- Manifest Destiny, a Gravity Group wooden coaster replacing
Alice in Wonderland. If Alpine Bobsled has been removed at this
point because of maintenance issues, Manifest Destiny would be a
GCI Wooden coaster located there instead.
2027- Tornado, a flying theater ride located in the old
Nightmare building returns to the park in a new form.
2028- This one is a little complicated. If Manifest Destiny is
a Gravity Group coaster, then Convoy is removed and Cannonball
Express is relocated to Hot Rod USA and is placed indoors,
rethemed to Jailhouse Rock. These two rides are replaced with
Max Force, a Sky Rocket II. If Manifest Destiny was a GCI
coaster, Twisted Forest, a Vekoma family inverted coaster,
replaces Alice in Wonderland.
2029- Doom Lagoon, a Proslide MultiBUMP slide and Python Plunge,
a Proslide Serpentine are added to Hurricane Harbor.
2030- Dare Devil Flying Machines, a Zamperla Air Race, is added
on Pirate Ship’s old pad.

Some interesting ideas there.
Personly not a fan of the idea of Removing Alice. I'd rather see
it upgraded and make more wheelchair accessible. The concept
was good just need to make it more visual and add soem sounds
and maybe simple effects to make it interstign to a new
gneration.

I think it’s just out of date. No one ever uses it and I think
that’d be a perfect spot for a new small scale coaster. Family
invert, GG woodie or even a Steeplechase.

I get that argument. that area is not very big and A family
invert would not fit. any small steel or woodie would be
basically a kiddie coaster. Roar-A-Souris is a family woodie and
it used better than twice that amount fo land
You could possibly upgrade into a dark ride since you could do
more than one story to add rooms.
Also, what's with the GTC name? Cardiff Giant, I looked up
Crodiff and its a town in England. The fest area is more
bavarian then British.

Cardiff Giant was a hoax about a 10 foot tall man in Upstate NY
a long time ago. P.T. Barnum made a copy and used him in some
of his shows.

I guess I should have searched the full name. I think it may go
over most people's heads and you would have to invest more money
to market the name that most won't get.
Manifest Destiny was also out there as a ride name. Doesn't roll
off the tung very well.

I get your point about CG. I don’t think Manifest Destiny has
to be the name, I just think an exploration themed coaster would
be awesome.

I’m not sure how you would get back there but they have the land
behind the log flume where the other train used to run. It’s
cleared and basically flat. I think a single rail coaster setup
more as a speed coaster like Superman or Nitro would be a huge
hit and reasonably priced. It doesn’t have to be the biggest or
fastest just fun and unique to the park. You could see it from
the road too.

I think that is why he mentioned the chance coaster.
If you removed the building or to be honest both the building
and flume you would open up that entire back section. You could
always rebuild the flume and incorporate the building and
themign back into the new version.

Yeah, I know a lot of people push for a Raptor or something here
but I think we need that signature, non-investing steel coaster.
Basically our Superman but obviously not as big, I think a GTX
Hyper would fill that quota.
I love your idea of the hyper-style Raptor track though.
As for location, I think the land behind Desperado is great, but
I think 3 coasters that close might be a little overkill.
