And no one on this forum seems to agree with your opinion. Stop using capslock! It does not get your point across any better! :roll: Also please stop complaining about the locals! They are normal human beings with a right to voice their complaints. We live in America, and people here have a freedom of speech! Stop posting things like this. It makes you look like a fool and it becomes very annoying to everyone on this forum.

A couple of years ago, SFGAm almost closed because it went bankrupt. I think that will happen again in the near feature and it will be ten times WORSE as last time. Also I think the locals that live around the park will soon vote to close the park. They are the most annoying people ever! All they do at the village board meetings is complain, complain and complain. They should no longer be allowed to attend feature meetings if they are going to complain. If they do they should NOT be allowed to voice their complaints! I'm sure Hank Salemi gets really aggravated by them as well at the meetings. I don't think SFGAm will be open for much longer. :cry:

Also I posted about how freaking ANNOYING the locals are and how they should be banned from the meetings forever!!!!!!!! If you don't like my opinion on that then STOP comenting and go to another forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


For the last time, please stop using caps lock! I does not get your point across any better! Also stop using a bunch of explanation points. One explanation point is good enough. You are starting to annoy a lot of people!

Not that TPRs rating is anything to judge how well a park is doing by, but they actually gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating (the same Cedar Point got). So unless you consider 4 out of 5 bad, I'm not sure where you're coming from with this..

PLEASE SOMEONE PASS A LAW TO BAN THE LOCALS FROM THE BOARD MEETINGS DUE TO THEIR STUPID COMPLAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Wow. How old are you? My guess is 12. I don't know what your problem is. You need to stop posting about the same thing over and over again. One post is enough. Also you seriously need to stop using caps lock and explanation points. Using caps lock and a ton of explanation point does not get your point across any better. It makes you look like a total fool. Shouting and whining about the locals is not a good idea. They have every right to voice their concerns and complaints.

I'm starting to think that this Roller Coaster Ryan guy is not an American. If he is, then I don't know what kind of an American he is. :lol: He does not get the point of freedom of speech. We as American's have every right to voice our complaints and concerns. I don't know what kind of government Roller Coaster Ryan is running.

I doubt it'll be a Giga, because that's too tall. If I was in charge I'd put something comparable to Maverick there, but a Demon theme still. I'm a fan of sticking with history. They might not do anything though because from what I'm hearing they're closing the park by 2018 :lol:

I think these kinds of questions are always hard to answer. If you asked someone back in 2003 what the place would look like now....I don't think anyone could really predict all of the improvements that have happened over the decade.

I will say that with the current CEO, the chain seems to be heading in the right direction. I still believe that Shapiro laid a pretty solid foundation after many years of Snyder and Company pounding it into the ground, and now Anderson is now working on building up from the solid ground that was previously laid. I would like to think that the people highest up in command know where SF has been, what the current state is now, and which direction they want to head in the future.

It already seems like the parks who can turn profit are the ones that are truly getting the capital improvements that they deserve and can sustain based off the books. This is just good business practice.

SFGAm has had major improvements over the past 10 years....some predictable, some complete surprises. Some good, some bad (depending who you ask). We're a pretty well-rounded park when it comes to what we have to offer.

Sfgam isn't going anywhere. Look at annual attendance stats. There are many parks open year round that have less attendance than Sfgam.

This could fit in Trail Blazer's spot. They need to put something in there soon.

This is the Barn Swinger I was talking about earlier.

So basically a lower capacity river rocker that would be located 500 ft away from it that's only different element is that they swing by eachother

This swings far higher than River Rocker. And I kind of thought with the barn theming, Southwest would fit the bill.

You've probably never even been on one of these. They're actually really fun. You swing more than 90 degrees and the aitime feeling you get at the top is great. So it's really unlike anything we have at the park currently.

Meh I think we can do better. Again they already have River Rocker a few yards away something so close in ride experience wold probably not garner as much support as something that goes upside down or spins while going upside down. Not to mention it has a pretty crappy capacity What like 16 people 8 on each arm? No too slow not to mention loading, unloading, securing of passengers and then the actual ride cycle you're easily looking at 5 mins per load. And the spot where Trailblazers line was is HUGE! It would never move.
