If you are like me and always think about how a park can improve by adding rides and sections, then reply to this and give a description about what you would do to make a park better. Also give an explantion why you would add this ride, coaster, or section.
I would add a bunch of Huss, Mack and Zamperla high end thrill rides as those are the best and I would add a wood coaster from CCI or GCI and a steel from B&M or Intamin as they are the best coaster designers.

Six Flags America IS a Six Flags park!
I would love for Premier to put dark rides in there parks. I am sure it doesnt cost that much and it would give alot of people throughout the country to experience them without heading to Florida and California (Disney parks).
I designed one new kind of coaster that I think will go nicely in a couple of parks. Only if I could sell my idea...

I'd add a Shuttle Transit Coaster (STC) to my park.
STC? You ask?
Ok here's the plan. All the good coasters and rides are always in the back of the park. Right?
I'd build a coaster at the enterance to my park to get people to the back to the park to all the good rides. It would have 2 stations and 4 trains running at all times. Each half of the coaster would be different layouts too. I'd keep my STC's rear station open an extra half hour or so to vacate my park quicker too. I think it would beat the Skyride or Monorail.

Thats a great idea. My idea is coaster that drops at a 90 degrees but like turbo drop.
I agree with Chitown, more dark rides. Heck, if they would even enclose some spin n' spew rides that would be cool. I mean imagine a spinning teacup ride indoors with a funky neon, disco era theme (complete with disco ball and strobe light) that would be sweet...except for the clean up afterwards)
Also I think every park needs a "Lost Kennywood" type section. They should have throwbacks to the older thrills and attractions. Not only would this bring out the older people, but also it would make the newer rides seem better. I mean imagine an older switch back railway right next to a launched Intamin inverted. The contrast would make the newer technology seem so much more intense. I mean the GP nowadays (self included) are kinda spoiled. In fact there are some coaster riders now that have always known a park to have a coaster with 6+ inversions (remember Vortex [pki] came out in 1987). Only us "enthusiasts" (sp?) know all the history. So I think tis type of section would be an entertaining, educational, and most importantly profitable addition for any park.
How about cleanliness? Some parks aren't so great about that. Like at CP, somebody was cleaning up the Mean streak line. A) She was only cleaning up outside of the line and there is like no trash there. B) There is no wait for the Mean Streak. Shouldn't they clean up the big lines like Magnum and The Force. All they have there is security guards. Maybe the disgusting lines could do some cleaning. Not an empty line.
2Hostyl Dorney Park did have an indoor tea cup ride with music, smoke machine, strobe and flashing lights. It was very cool. Then Cedar Fair took over an removed it.

I wish Kennywood would build a slim but tall parking garage and expand into the huge lot. Just imagine the possibilities of that land to a land-conserving management such as that of Kennywood.
A park called Funtown in Maine has a scrambler ride indoors. It plays loud music and has funky lights. It also has strobe lights during part of the ride. This ride would be boring if not in this cool location. It's called the Astrophere.
Was that the Iceberg Coasterpunk?
