I'd rather see some family rides go in for the next 2 years, and then get a big coaster thats the size of Bull.

I see this whole families first thing working out great for us. While I'd still like a floorless coaster, i'm kind of jealous that SFOT gets 10 "new" rides and we get a crappy waterslide. I know i'm going to like more events, but i'm not sure I like the crowds that will come with them.

Well, I think we are the best SF park in the whole chain. I'm not just saying that because I live here either.

What is with you people and the stupid floorless? There are better coasters out there now, new innovative coasters way better than a floorless, besides we already got a floorless type coaster, Bull, just lift your feet, there is your floorless. Seriously, the best addition SFGAm could add is a interactive dark ride, think about it, almost every major park has one or is getting one, they are the big things now. If one is put in at SFGAm, it will be a huge addition and cause a lot of attention if they market it right. Also, expand HH, that thing was a huge success and could be even better, with this new Tornado, there will most likely more people visiting HH this year than last. Basically, I see renovations, new or redone theming, new signs, and maybe a dark interactive ride, and the very slimest, slightest chance of a major coaster, highly doubtful of a floorless, I never see SFGAm getting a floorless. One reason, SFGAm usually gets innovative, new coasters that havent been made yet, so if, that is an IF SFGAm gets a new coaster, I see it being something new and innovative.

As he walked through the park, Shapiro pushed for better directional signage, asked questions about vending — "Does the Italian beef sell? No? Get rid of it. If it's not selling, why keep it?" — called the trademark double-decker carousel "fabulous" and ordered a family stage show in the Moose Burger Lodge.


No more Italian Beef sandwiches at the park!?!?!? This guy is getting out of line. :lol: Really, I dont care, if it doesnt sell, you should get rid of it.

The carousel is really good, I agree.

We already had a show on the stage at MBL for part of the year, I know DJ Bob was there and Jug'O Jugglers at some time.

Better directional signage? Good. I'd also like to see instant wait time boards for all the major attractions around the park.

Yes! That would be great. Saves me time instead of walking around the park lookking for short waits.

That is a great addition for the park, it also explains Holiday in the Park too, that'd be cool if SFGAm does the same thing and even more, if they do it at all.

Corporations don't really care what customers wants, they only care about their budgets and how they can increase their revenue, this decision is proof. It sickens me that they pass it off as if they care about what customers want, they are only targeting families because it guarentees more visitors, WOO WOO, I can see right through...

Uhh...yeah...what's your point? Obviously this is what the customer wants if attendance is going to go up.

first of all you missed the point, it was that six flags is making it out like they care about families, and futhermore I dont want attendence to go up if it means more families :P - The view from atop my soapbox is fabulous...

I must not be getting it...

Six Flags DOES care about families. They are the ones with money. Six Flags likes money.

Ringin' any bells??

I thought that means how do you get to V2 from here, and so on.

I think it's a joke to proclaim that no one has better rides than SF. That's gong pretty bold when there are 20 something parks. Some SF parks are probably 300 on the list of attended parks of last year. Are there even 300 parks? I'm just saying that I don't think every SF park has superb rides as this guy is saying. However, he is not going to say that SF has awful rides.
