More hands-on activities would be fantastic. There's are loads of examples out there that are fun, engaging, and educational all at once, and those experiences would really set the park apart more than just throwing in some kiddie rides and calling it a "family" section. I'd also like to see them re-invent some of the shop concepts. I think the new HP area at UO shows how engaging a themed shopping experience could be. A lot of the shops have lost their significance over time, so it feels less and less like an experience going into any of them.
Unfortunately, I don't think the park is ready to take that step yet, but I have hopes they'll start moving that direction soon. I think it's fairly obvious that this year is going to be focused on competing for young family crowds with WOF, local branson attractions, and SF. With that in mind, I don't know what else they would consider adding except a re-hash of the AM concept or some of the old CC rides plus the old Balloons, or a mix of both. It doesn't seem like a lot to look forward to from our standpoint, but it will definitely help the park remain competitive with young families, which means there'll be more cap. to spend on other stuff in 2012.
Who knows though, they could have something completely different in store. Can't be too long till we find out for sure.
