How much land do parks like CP,SFMM,and SFGAm all own. Like how many acres, etc..
Who would have the most?
-------------
Millennium Force all the way!
The park with the most land is SFGAdv, they have a ton of land but it is used for the safari.
-------------
#1: Millennium Force
#2: Raging Bull
#3: Tie B:TR/Raptor
#4: Viper (SFGAm)
#5: Goliath/Magnum
I think that SFGadv should get rid of the wild life area, sell the animals, and turn it into a mega park like CP of SFMM.

What is life without geniuses?
If SFGAdv did that they could fit in more coasters than CP or MM. I think SFGAdv has about 2000 acres of land and CP has about 500.

Cedar Point has 364 acres on the park end of it. Not included is land for housing and hotels at the base or mainland.
As for Great Adventure, You speak great tales of spending their money and putting some baboons on the unemployment line, but the safari does just fine, and they do not have enough staff to open the rides they have now, so why keep building?
SFGA is also the top grossing park of the chain, so in their eyes it is okay. (In my eyes Medusa was open 17 minutes and it had 'artwork' all over the q area). They have yet to have an operating day in which every ride has been up and running since the big build up.

I think Kennywood has 85 acres, of which 50 are parking. Doesn't quite compare with 364, eh?

They own 160. about 75 devoted to parking. About 20 acres is considered 'bad'.
If Great Adventure ever did get rid of the safari, they would have to have multiple parks, like Disney. One 2000-acre park would take 3 or 4 days to get through.
I think it would be swell, but as I said, they have no more staff to squeeze out of the cloning machine. All parks are in a bit of a bind to some extent on staffing. PKD PKI both eliminated their safaris, but they were monorail. SFGAd is a drive thru, and it is hilarious to see a nice pretty new BMW from New York have its antenna or license plate scrapped from an irate babboon.
The Safari allows an alternative to the theme park, like Hurrican Harbor does. Most of those Philly and New Yorkers never see animals, grass, and trees. A grazing cow is as exotic as a kangaroo.
Touche Agent Johnson, Touche!
