^That would be awesome, but I don't think they could get the ROI on a new coaster here, especially a junior coaster. Theoretically most of their clientele would love it, but that's not what drives people to the park.
A hotel could work here, but it would take more effort than MS is prepared to put into it. There are already so many hotels, especially cheap ones, in the area. Tourism to HS is turbulent and largely consists of people from in-state who aren't exactly rich. They need to focus on making the park a better destination first and foremost so they draw people to HS rather than piggybacking on HS's slowly fading draw.
They are taking thoughtful, albeit fairly cheap, steps at each park in the chain to increase revenue and attendance figures. They've already practically rebuilt most of these parks with cosmetic fixes and fixed infrastructure while at the same time boosting attendance with decent concert series at each park. They've slowly expanded the halloween events and introduced one for MS which was a success. Now they are expanding into Christmas and adding NEW rides again. I'm not sure how long it will take for them to get back to adding things that get us really excited (ie: coasters), but we can all be thankful that they saved these parks from ruin and are keeping them on the right tracks.
A couple more flats and a retracking of Twister and this park will be great again.
