Ideal additions to your home park

BGT needs flats worse than anywhere, 5 total adult flat rides in the park (not counting transport or water rides). FIVE! Unacceptable if you ask me...also, how about running Gwazi as nature (and GCI) intended - a Dueling Coaster, two PTCs per side, with good ride-ops and a sensible restraint-checking procedure. Anyone notice how many of us are asking for "cheap" stuff....For Wild Adventures, my "adopted" home park, I'd LOVE a clone of Talon, but will take whatever they build (and it WILL be BIG)...

Current Favorite Coasters:
1)Raging Bull 2)Millennium Force 3)Medusa (SFMW) 4)Vertical Velocity (SFGAm) 5)Dueling Dragons (Ice)

Carowinds could use something bigger than TG:TJC, I'm holding out for a Hyper of some sort...

As for SFoG, I am hoping for a hyper, but some rumors are saying that we may get a B&M Flyer....either would be perfect and really put SFoG on the Coaster Enthusiast's map...

Millennium Force: The 8th Wonder of the World!

I'll have to think realistically. I wish they would add some better scenes inside of Superstition Mountain one of Indiana Beach's dark rides. It is a good ride, it just needs some better stuff. I think the best 2 things in there are a wolf and a bear and they don't even move.

Stealth: How about anything new at all for Elitch Gardens? :-(

Please, please SFA, add a bathroom in between Superman Ride of Steel and Batwing next year!

MA: A Mondial Top Scan and Vekoma Mad House
MA needs more flats and landscaping much worse than it needs the rumoured hyper. Not that I think CF is suddenly going to do an about-face and start investing in Euro flats but if they do I certainly hope MA is where they start dropping them .

CP: A Dueling Giga Impulse...Hey, I love SUE and a bigger one sounds amazing IMO, maybe I'm just easily pleased.

This is weird because I usually think *every* park needs more flats, but really, SFA doesnt. They actually have a nice amount of flats (when they are all running). Only Iron Eagle is "spectactular" (meaning flashy) but then have over a dozen flats (or about 4 times as many as PKD hehehe ;))

My "homepark" is Wyandot Lake and anything new - even a garbage can - would be very welcome!

Maybe they didn't know they were putting a new coaster back there?!!!?

I can deal with a giant impulse, but I want some Intamin wood at CP.

"Excuse me, is this Six Flags Lake Erie?"

At SFWoA, I'll take a KMG AfterBurner (or Chance Revolution or Zamperla Discovery.... there all essentially the same), a Huss Swing Around, a Zamperla Power Surge, an AmTech Scorpion..... and any other cool NEW flat ride. I don't want a recycled Sea Dragon that makes weird noises as it rocks or a EuroBungee upcharge attraction. I want some cool new flats. An AmTech Scorpion with lighting package is in the $500,000 range and I'm sure a Chance Revolution is under $1 million. Yes, that's a lot of money to spend, but we need some up-to-date flats. The YoYo, Haybaler, Black Widow, and Silver Bullet are all a bit past their prime.

"I nice B&M sitdown would be great at hershey. The park is in need of a good sitdown. Looper is ok, but they need something more modern.
A hyper would be a good idea as well (considering 2 out of the 3 major parks in PA have one). However, I don't know where they would put it. They are a bit strapped for space as it is."

I would settle for either... something along the lines of Kraken or Steel Force. Of course, keep the old looper... first modern loop coaster on the east coast.

As far as the space requirements... There has been speculation that the park may expand across Hersheypark drive to that long strip of land that used to be the sight of the old air strip (many years ago). There has also been speculation as to the fate of the Hersheypark Arena once the Giant Center is completed (though I would hate to see the venerable old "barn" be torn down).

Oh well, I guess this winter we will just have to look forward to "Roller Soaker" (he said sort of facitiously). At least it is a little more exciting than last year... a white aligator and a laser show. Hmmm... perhaps they could have combined all of that... The "Roller Soaker" coaster with shooting jets of water and lasers while your feet dangle into a pool filled with serveral aligators (including that albino one). Nah... I don't think that would go along with the "family friendly" attitude of Hershey.

Seriously though, someone said about SFA needing more flat rides... and it was responded that most parks need more flats. I put Hershey into that category... perhaps not more... but at least some more thrilling. Not sure what the correct name of it is, but I know that Reithoffer Shows has a ride
called "Wild Claw". This is one very wicked ride. You sit in seats similar to inverted coaster or SLC seats... 5 sets of 4 at the bottom of a large pendulim type arm, the five sets in a cricle facing the center so that it looks like a large claw of a pird of prey. The pendulim swings and the claw rotates. You are never totally inverted, but at the apex of its highest swing, you are nearly inverted. This gives me more of that "lose your stomach" feel than most coasters! One of these as a permanent installation would be great. Not sure who manufactures it.

I want a 10,000 foot long B&M flyer, a giga-4D, and a 450ft Intamin uhh "tetracoaster" with inversions. *rolls eyes*

SFLAKE, The Wild Claw is a KMG Afterburner, and I agree that it's awesome. Several companies have clones of it, although KMG claims to have the fastest. As for PKDStar01 mentioning that SFA needs more flat rides, you really haven't taken a very good look around at your screenname's namesake, have you? It's sad when you can count the adult flat rides on one hand.

I can only think of Iron Eagle, Flying Carousel, High Seas, Tiltawhirl, Riddle Me This, and Krypton Comet. What other flats are there? I feel like an idiot now, cause those were the only flats I rode when I was there.

any more??
