Title: Do they need a new bathroom near the new coaster? what do you think......
Post by: mhguy77 on August 11, 2012, 07:55:54 PM
I am gonna be honest and say that I take some medicine that makes me very aware of where the nearest restroom is. After expanding further on the back of Wilsons Farm I think they are in need of a restroom closer than the print shop or the lake silver area. This is a growing area that will concentrate people.  It would seem to me that adding this new ride would create the need for another relief spot in this area.  Is it me or is it needed?

I think you're right.

I also think a lot of people are going to come off Outlaw Run and need a place to settle their stomachs and possibly even clean up a bit.  :o

Yup...that's a great idea. The park is growing and another rest room area is a good thought.

I am sure that putting in a new restroom is a very very expensive thing.  Maybe FITH has a septic line they could tie into but I bet this would include running a new line.  That costs a bunch.  But with the path leading esentially behind FITH its a pretty good walk to the woodcarvers or to the old courthouse theater. ( forgot what they call it now).  THere is a bathroom on the closed walkway behind the white river merchantile building but if I remember its one stall and they closed off access to this a few years back.   
From what I understand they plant 2 trees for every one they cut down. How about they open up one bathroom for every 2 slushy stands they open.......retroactive.....
Think about all the bathrooms we would have to choose from!

I am pretty sure the first drop of the coaster will scare the stuff outta you anyway!

there is a bathroom on the back side of PK and I'm sure the Opera House has a sewer line that can be tied into.

I wonder what a chore it would be to connect the loop behind FITH?  Theu would need to cross the tracks though.
That could solve the problem.

After talking to Brad Thomas this past week, it was pretty clear they have no intentions of connecting the new area to the alley between FITH/OH

When they built Buzzsaw Falls, now Powder Keg, they didn't have a restroom in that area of the park either.  In a couple of years they saw the need for one.  I expect the same will happen, especially if they plan to expand into the M&C area in the next four or five years.

I was wondering the same thing also. I was wondering why they never built a bathroom near Wildfire and I actually ask around a few years back if they planed one for that ride and they don't seem to have the need for one there. However this new area is gonna be quite a walk to the nearest bathroom which is a toss up between the Riverfront Playhouse or next to the Tintype Shop there. And that is still quite a walk unless you know the short cuts to get there. They took out a Major Shortcut to get to the Riverfront Playhouse Bathroom from that area when they opened Riverblast making it to where you have to go around a few shops and a theater to get there. (I hated them taking out that shortcut as that was one of my favorite shortcuts to use for that reason. The Shortcut is still there if they want to remove the shop and put back the short section in the walkway there that shop blocked out) That shortcut removal made it even a longer walk to get to a bathroom from Wilson's Farm. Basically I am not gonna be surprised if they suddenly decide to build a bathroom back there within a year or 2 of opening this ride.
