I am looking at the map now. My guess is, if they are rethemeing an area, it would be the PK area. Its that dead end that makes me guess that. Much like the way Wilsons Farm was. And with not that many shops/eating places up that way......Is there land that goes that way?

The do have land that direction.   I really think the will re-theme would be the expo area and add new rides.

My guess that the re-theme will be the Grand Expo area.
We've talked about that area a lot before as possibly receiving a re-theming and expansion. Also I remember a rumor about a new ride that would be visible from the hwy.
You have a great past just ahead of you.

If it is the GE area, what do you think they will retheme it to? It does not seem that GE has been there long enough to warrant a retheme. It was just yesterday they built that area!! But a retheme would be something fun.

^^We've postulated before that the next major addition would go in the GE area simply because that's the easiest expansion space right now and it would help balance some from the 'coaster corner' on the other side of the park. A retheme/upgrade would make sense as well since the GE theme is essentially name-only at the moment. I like the concept of the GE theme though, it just needs some actual theming.

Please notify Websters that "just yesterday" equals 10 years ago.
Yep!  It's been at the park for 10 seasons now.

I mean.  We keep getting farther and farther away from the great past that's just ahead of us.

Yes there is land.  Lots of it.

He is talking millions - I stated awhile back that the 3rd project would be the most expensive.
