Whoa, interesting name change. Gotta say I've never even heard of that villain. Something else to note is that there is nothing about the Primo's expansion in the food court and that it is listed as MAcho Taco, not Macho Nacho.

The Falcone thing can go either way as I do like the character in Gotham. granted I could just be happy that it wasn't renamed John Duffy's sports bar. I really can't stand strutters, why does an AMUSEMENT park need two sports bars? who in their right mind is going to pay $40 to get into an amusement park just to drink and watch sports in a tiny crappy "restaurant" when they can go to buffalo wild wings down the street. sorry mini rant over I just HATE theses sports bar makeovers.

Technically, we have 3 (JB's , Strutter's and Falcone's)
Seeing as Strutter's proved to be a successful renovation, I bet this will be, too. Not to mention that section of the park is going to be packed this summer with a new coaster right next door, so I'd expect crowds at the restaurant to be anything but light.
Was it necessary? No, not really. But maybe the park feels that Sports Bars get more crowds than regular park restaurants, or maybe they want more guests to stay in the park for food. If people went out to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch/dinner like you said, then BWW is getting money for food, not SFGAm.

Plus Beer & Alcohol makes bango bucks. Cedar Point went from 3 places to like 10+ places.
Gotham's mob boss? Hmm. Kind of interesting if they keep it mostly Italian food then seeing he's like an old style mobster character. Idk if he was Italian on the show though haha
^ I'm not surprised by this either. Especially after SFOG announced VR on their drop tower. Heck I'm pretty sure I said we could see VR on Giant Drop after SFTT announced VR on Scream. At least it will only be until Memorial Day and not all year.

GreatAmerica fan I'm right there with you! I hate it because it seems like it is more like a place for parents to park themselves stare pointlessly at sports and click away on their damn phones. Sure the food is good at Strutters anyways but did they really have to take the charm away from the original park?
