Six Flags Worlds of Adventure recently announced the addition of seven new-for-2002 flat rides and two older flat rides. The rides are used from Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom and Six Flags Elitch Gardens.
Link: Geauga Lake Online
Its a positive move for WofA. The rides that were pulled from the other parks will be absorbed. Its a minor return to the ride rotation program. If it helps the Wildlife side, that is a winner. Some nice family flats that are a bit tame will keep people over longer, which will drive f/b and retail sales. There is naturally a bigger picture at stake.
If you compared Sea World to Geauga Lake, GL won the games race, but SW had it over them at f/b and retail. Any improvement on the revenue end will help the bottom line at the park overall.
I wonder if they are going to "group" any of the smaller rides or spread out more stuff.... It would be easier to group 2 or three rides together for operator rotation.
Since the Yo Yo and Spider are getting moved, I wonder if anything else will fill there spots on the Rides side.
And will they ever re-paint that dang Yo Yo?
What are the all removing for this season, i.e. okay the pet show and I heard the children water shooting boat, but anything else?
-----------------
Well Zar I'm not exactly sure but I know for SURE that the water shooting boat is coming out... well at least the water guns have already been ripped out.

Hi-
The dealine for the whales was yesterday (the 11th). Since this is a kinda new proceedure as far as attining permits go- I am not sure how much the comments effect the final decision. The park should know in a few weks though (hopefully). I can not judge weather the decision to extend the deadline was a good sign- or bad.
It is too bad that the pirate ship is gone-rides are fun, but that ship ws a great alternitive to a ride- and allowed children to play with their imagination.
There will be a reptile house near whale stadium (by what used to be platters resturant- which will be transformed into a buffet w/ I belive Asain food this year).
Lost World is not likely to see the light of day- it's proposed location will likely be used for Zebras this year.
