Shapiro is scouting the competition.

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

Smart man. He picked two well run parks being Dollywood and Holidayworld for ideas. Expect to see open kiosk cooking with WOKS as one of those ideas at the SF parks.

^^^Great idea, if SF becomes family and thrill friendly like these two parks are, Shapiro could really hit a home run with this.
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel)

I think he should also check out Hersheypark while he's at it.

^ I blame Buc Battle to the unusually cold temperatures this past summer. This is just also reminding me about my first road trip w/ coasters!!!!

^^ It is remaining Busch Gardens.

You are right in he needs to check out other things about the parks other then food. Guest service and themeing is why people go to those parks, not food.

I wonder if the reason he was checking out those parks is because of their wooden coasters, and them "rebuilding" the Texas Giant ride at Six Flags Over Texas. It's supposed to be a brand new roller coaster. They are demolishing the former Texas Giant, and building another roller coaster there.

Texas Giant isn't really having that much done to it as I understand. It's mostly just being retracked and tweaked here and there. Also getting new trains.

The Makeover better be good, its Costing $10 Million. For 3 Million more they could've torn down the coaster and Built an Intamin "El Toro" Wooden Coaster instead.

I think they should have demolished it completely, rebuilt he exact layout from Intamin, and got trains from Gravity Group.

New ones look better than the older ones. L shaped lapbar, and if they are doing what I think they are doing it will be polyurethane wheels.
