Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks.

Kinda knew this was unsubstantiated.

I’d agree 100%. Moving it would free up more space where it’s currently located.

Just checked and i don't think there's much space unless they demolish some things :/

Too bad those kid flash coasters are so problematic. One would fit very nicely into that plot of land and look great

I did throw around moving Little Dipper near Kidzopolis in my super long SFGAm video. It's very very tight, probably not enough room without removing anything

A kiddie coaster would be nice there to tie in Kidzopolis. Maybe we will get Lucy's from CGA lol that would be weird but cute. Those mini E&F Miler coasters have some punch to them sometimes. But I'd take any kiddie coaster there. Would fit nicely. Preferably a cute little "Tender paw" clone.

How about a flat ride where Revolution was?


Like a Tilt A Whirl, Magic Bikes, Chance Freestyle, or a Nebulez


But it's Cedar Fair, So a restaurant/food place LOL

Restaurant would more likely replace part of the game gallery and the decrepit bathroom next to the court. Or Johnny Rockets, I don't think those are still a thing at legacy CF Parks,or are they? Haven't been to CP in a long while.

Many parks are downsizing their games and SFGAm has spots where games could be moved to other spots that are under utilized.

Games should move back to being exclusively at county fair like the old days, it makes sense if they went like this. As for the old revolution stuff besides my ideas for a sky screamer or the carousel allegedly in storage i got nothing

It was more a joke how Cedar Point is replacing rides with restaurants (Wicked Twister, Antique Cars, Witches Wheel)

Got any examples outside of CP?

Because I think CP is a special case, it has the on-premises Hotel so they want to encourage people to eat at the park.

Looks like the park is going to open around the same time as last year. While the park hours calendar still has yet to be updated, the events page starts listing events as early as April 24th.

3 months away!

The pass coupons page was also updated. The cup this year is purple and yes, legacy member dining still gets a new one.

CP got rid of their Rockets in 23 I believe

I'd love to see the continuation of food and beverage improvement, but with recent additions like Yukon BBQ and Windy City, I think corporate will look at other legacy parks that have not gotten as much love in their F&B lately

I wasn't as impressed with Windy City. I just wanted a plan burger with BBQ Sauce, but noooooo, it has to come with all this crap I don't want.

They can convert the Justice League building into that eventually.

I dunno, i think we can use that space for something else, but i think that space should be reincorporated back into Southwest territory

Windy City has its flaws for sure. No side with wings? Other SF parks offer fries with their wings. Only spicy cheese curds? SFStL has normal and spicy. I do like the wings though

Anyone else think that it would be neat if an ART Engineering Wild Swing was placed in King Chaos' spot and named Queen Khaos or King Khaos Jr.?

In design, the rides are very similar and the Wild Swing is very compact. Not to mention there are plenty of theming possibilities. Plus, SF has a good relationship with ART Engineering's family coasters. I bet ART wouldn't mind if SF wanted a larger custom Swing too.

Those ART swings are pretty fun, got to ride one last year at Tripsdrill. Not necessarily thrilling per say, but good solid family ride

From Marcus Leshock’s twitter:

The park has an executive chef, steelworks, Yukon bbq, and Strutters are receiving new serving lines, and there will be new beverage stations in Yukon Territory and County Fair.
