They didn't just build the berm of trees there by the fence for no reason

Meh, here's hoping for something a little more original. A bunch of additional rides in that area would just be another big nail in the coffin for the park's remaining atmosphere. All three rides would be good for the park though, as long as they're meshed in properly and not just thrown in. Accelerator would be worth looking forward to at least.

Completely disagree.  I don't see why the park would stop "plussing" the atmosphere regardless of what they add

Watch for, I mean, notice, the markers where Waterboggan used to be, when riding by on the Frisco!  :)

You want to post the pictures or do I have to?

I am dismayed that these are the improvements, the accelerator is a fair ride cut and dry,  the water ride is well, another "get you wet" water ride.
The carousel is ok, but is there not a carousel in the GE?

Where is the new coaster?

I guess I should be happy that they are adding something, why they didn't do this for the anniversary year I don't know

Accelorator is NOT a fair ride.  Are you confusing it with Fireball?
Accelorator is a park model S&S Double Shot Ride... and could very easily be themed to fit into the park.

The Carousel can easily go into the Grand Expo (and hopefully the Balloon Chase will reappear back there as well).

Roaring Falls will be a good fit for the park if themed correctly and hidden from the main midways.

It can work.  Is it ideal, no, but it adds capacity to the park and that is always a good thing.

^Accelerator somewhere near PK?

^^The Wave Carousel is in GE, but the CC Carousel would be a beautiful addition to the area.

Shoot, Acelorator could be one of Doc's inventions and could go over by Wildfire.

Just took the survey in regards to a large play area for under 6, that all ages could enjoy.  I'm thinking, judging by the concept art, the top of the hill where Waterboggan used to be. (Roaring Falls no doubt be located at the bottom of the hill)

^Having a hard time placing that at the top of hill for WWB.
It looks interesting, doesn't appeal to me, but it is something that is probably needed.

I would imagine (hope) that this would be added along with the 2 thrill rides that are being relocated from CC

I would love, love, love to see the Accelerator over by PK. That area is practically dying for a shot tower!! And it might help with Powderkeg's long lines. Roaring Falls would look okay over where Splash Harbor used to be, like you drew in the map. I just don't want to be able to see it from the main pathways.
