It needs a massive rehaul and maybe even a rerouting.
Anyone else have a 5/10 year plan?

The Great Escape is an unusual park. It's owned by a chain known
for thrill rides but it's a park that has lower attendance a
shorter season and draws a more family-focused demographic. So
here's what I would do to improve the park if I were in charge.
2021 - New Coaster/Boblsedis removed
Cliffhanger a Custom Euro Fighter replaces Bobsled. Like Untamed
at Canobie, the track will be filled with sand to dampen noise
from the operation of the coaster. It will feature 5 inversions
the most of any coaster in the park.
2022 - Water park expansion
In land opened up by bobsleds removal will be a new Slide tower.
The tower will feature 5 body slides and plenty of new lounge
space.
2023 - Flying trapeze is removed/ Zoom Jets relocated
The High height will give you a better flying feeling on the
great family ride that is currently SBNO in the waterpark
2024 - Gaslight Pier/bamboo shuts are removed
The area around Comet will get a facelift. Supernova goes will
be relocated and a classic flying swing will take its place.
the area will get a collection of classic flats and midway
games. the food stand will be rebuilt.
2025 - national park makeover/Frankie's mine train removed as
Upgrades will be made to make the are more family over kiddie.
The horrible kiddie coaster will be removed and replaced with a
rock'n Tug (rafting theme), The stage will be removed as well
as the teacups for a zameprla Speedy Coaster
(HTM) https://www.zamperla.com/products/speedy-coaster
The old jungle
treck will get an aerial ride in its place with new
forest-themed figures to look at as you ride. Treehouse, speed
trap, teacups, and Plans will be removed and stored. The area
will also add Frog hopper with a canoe them in place of the
plans, Family drop tower in place of the teacups, and the former
drop tower pot will gt a themed win every time game. The
maintenance path will also be upgraded and become a midway
connection between this area and ghost town/story town
2026 - Capital improvements, some kiddie rides return, extended
hours, night show, and new ride
Speed trap, Planes, and teacups will return in the former
petting zoo area. The rope ladder game will be relocated.
Painting will be done on many rides and buildings as well as
more lighting to make the park more appealing for the late-night
hours. a laser light show will be added to give guests a reason
to stay later. The new ride will be a samba tower in the old
balloon race spot in story town
2027 - Ghost town Expansion/rework
Nightmare Buiding would be removed along with the flume. A new
flume will be added on the roadside fo the area (sky trans) with
the original building and drop accommodated as the first drop
and a larger finale drop in the new layout. It will use a
combination of inground and above the ground trough. On the
wetlands side, a new building will be added for the return of
Tornado. the area will also get a theater stage to replace the
stage removed in Nationalpark.
2028 - New Entrance plaza
This was actually something that was in one of these threads I
did years ago. But they are will get security checks closer to
the ramp. a new smaller ticker both will be constructed and new
themed entrance gate. All of this will be to the right of the
area now. The carousel will be relocated and reinstalled in
front fo the present entrance gate. guests will now be allowed
to walk through the original entrance or around the side around
sasquatch.
2029 - water park expansion
A new tower with 3-4 slides will be added in the general area of
the former Bamboo chutes but stay within the water park's
boundaries.
2030 - Steam on Deamon is retired and replaced
The Aging coaster will be replaced by a new wood Cyclone with 3
inversions. Gravity group similar to Mine Blower in Florida.
2031 - New Theater
the area in the front of the park and the road by the reworked
main plaza will get a show theater.
of course, the order could chance and there is still future
phase 2 possibly 3 to fully use ghost town.

That’s a solid list. I love the idea of a new light show to
entice the guests. I wouldn’t get rid of Bobsled just yet but
I’d love a Eurofighter. I agree Tornado needs to return as
well.

I was going back and forth about Bobsled vs Deamon in the list
first. but As I thought about the later hours I thought it
became more important to have not only a high capacity addition
but one that could operate into those longer hours. Sadly
bobsled can't do that. So the demon was given a longer shelf
life.
A lot of the additions were kept on the moderate expense range.
Well, amusement park wise. pretty much every year was under 3
Million. Thought obivously the euro fighter with that many
inversion and preceding work would make that bigger but the next
2 years while not small were relatively inexpensive. Just
flashy.

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind a few down years for a coaster.
After rereading mine, and kinda piggybacking off of yours, I’m
gonna redo my ten year list-
Can happen whenever:
-Park is renamed “Six Flags Over the Adirondacks.”
-The local Home Depot’s paint aisle is cleared and all the rides
get a fresh coat.
2021:
-Chance GTX Hyper, located next to or replacing the Skycoaster.
2022:
-New entrance
-Move Grand Carousel to new entrance
-New theater near new entrance
-“Grand Finale” new show premieres. Includes fireworks, dancing
and projections at the end of the night.
-Splash Theater renovated and extended back into Grand
Carousel’s old pad for more seating. New performance arena
includes a pool, trampoline, motorcycle dome and trapeze
structure for an all new Circus Show.
-Petting zoo returns in Storytown.
-Park hours extended to 9pm weeknights and 10pm Friday and
Saturday.
-Opening day moved to April.
-Holiday in the Park returns.

2026:
-Alice in Wonderland removes.

Racetrack. Queue shows facts about the racetrack and has
pictures of races and the location.

-Alpine Fest Haus receives an upgrade with more seating and more
food options, such as grilled cheese. Desserts added, cinnamon
rolls, slushees, etc.
2027:
-Timbertown theater removed and replaced with 3 new rides.
-Timbertown Trail replaced with a “Moose on the Loose” type
ride.
2028:
-Canyon Blaster removed.
-Desperado Plunge rerouted and goes about 1/3 into Canyon
Blaster’s pad on the left side.
-Nightmare building becomes a small Triotech remake of
“Tornado.” Nothing large, more an homage than a replacement.
-New theater and takes up about 1/2 of what is left of CB’s pad.
-Chance Unicoaster themed to tumbleweeds takes up what is left
of CB’s pad.
2029:
-Raging River receives upgrades. Now themed to pirates, the
ride will have new waterfalls and an enclosed section towards
the end.
2030:
-RMC Raptor OR Mack Spinning coaster replaces a portion of the
picnic grove.
Future:
-RMC Raptor added near the Mack, or vise versa.
-More flats added near the Raptor/Spinner, creating a new
Steampunk area.

-Gravity Group family wooden coaster added somewhere in the
park.

Interesting updates.
One question is where are you going to put a new picnic grove.
they do get corporate events and you're taking over that area
with rides.

Picnic area would be moved to the employees only area between
Timbertown and Ghost Town. That could open up a new path
connecting the two as well.
