Alright, since we're going to be talking about the 2012 project anyway, I guess I might as well go ahead and create the 2012 topic so we can keep the discussions somewhat separate.
First of all, in the region there are not many places to go . Adventureland, SDC, Worlds of Fun, and St.L Six Flags. Where you going to go Huh
Nowhere. Most people simply don't feel the need to go to theme parks unless they're drawn in for some reason. There are other places and ways to spend the money.
A lot of people with children have mentioned how hard it is becoming to justify a trips to SDC because there is so little for their kids to do compared to how much it costs to get into the park these days. With the context of the park changing so much, there has to be a variety of things for young families to do, not just a single playground and a couple of kid's rides in GE. I think this addition will give them pretty firm footing in terms of fulfilling those needs for now, but backsliding by taking out GG would cause a pretty big uproar, IMO.
I think we're all pretty much in agreement that whatever is added in 2012 is going into the WB area. With the low capital on this year's project, and the trends in expansions lately, I think it's fair to say that a new coaster is a prime possibility. Before we rush to any conclusions on it being a G-fighter though, I think it's important to question how much MM paid off for DW. It's a great ride, but was it worth the cost? Would a woodie fit the park better?
