Sounds like we have bitter ex-employees.

I think the area will look nice. The line will be long enough not to have queues anymore.

Adding so far:
- New SF highway sign

all the stuff that's being done this year is necessary things, it's the stuff where once the park finally does decide to add a large people drawing coaster, their overall park expiereince will be better and will be more likely to return, rather than whenever any SF park used to add major capital, attendance would spike that year then drop off the following year with no new major capital, and that was due to people not having a good time at the park or at least feel they are getting their moneys worth, no one wants to pay $50+ to be in a delapited looking park filled with nothing but thrill rides and half of them close (I know SFGAm never had that issue exept for DV which is out of the parks control really).
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

Yeah you are right, by adding these features^ that i posted above, park is returning to make the atmosphere. You are right the att. will go up. Six Flags Great America is adding lots of little things, and also big ones. Stunt Show, WW, maybe Thomas& Friends. These are medium expansions, but if you put them all together it's like a big one. Stunt Shows are awesome, I've been to other parks, and I think it's awesome. I love coasters, but I just can't wait to see stun show. LOL

Also i got an e mail from SFGAm about job. i guess everyone recieved that. Unlike other year, when you work at SFGAm this year, they wrote you will get free tickets and PASSes for family and friends. PASSes are something new, and now more people will be willing to work at SFGAm. cat members will be more happy. And SF is ok to give some passes away, to make other million pass holders happy. they still waste same amount of energy to run rides, or water for HH. ;)

^the only reason employees are getting "better" benefits is because so many are fired from our park every day. Our park is one of the worst when it comes to strict disciplines. If anyone says something, park officials will believe it and respond to it, more than what is needed. No employees at our park get a side to their story which will effectively change a decision. Most other parks will listen to their employees and will make an effort to reach a final decision between management and the employee. If GAm doesn't change, they will keep having understaffed areas throughout the year on a lot of days. It is getting worse, I can tell. Over the past 3 years, supervisors have been struggling more and more to fill positions when people do not show up or quit or whatever. A lot of employees are unhappy with the way our park is managed backstage. By adding another "freebee" to our park, it may get a few new employees, but it will not make staffing any better.

You know, i've been thinking (which is a first, i know ;) ), and in 1998 all they added was two kiddy sections...so this year isn't really all that disappointing as some (including me) initially thought. We are getting a farely decent amount of new things and I agree with all of the above posts in that these will all better the park for the future.

^Exactly.

If we get children's areas now, we won't have to worry about them later.

What other improvements should SFGAm do you think? like they could add it to the park this season:
I would like to see water back in RR area.
I think in 2008 SFGAm would add like 3 new rides, and lots of themeing. remember that Shapiro in 05/06 mentioned that in 06 park will add new rides, and that in 07 themeing. but it all looks like it skeeped a year. 2007 is the year of children rides, so 08 should be the theming year.

So, wait...Are we getting those video cameras on the coaster or is that only going to SFMM? I know they already have it at the Santa Monica Peir coaster, and it rocked.

You know, I just had a dream last night, and I was at Six flags for Fright Fest, and all of the rollercoaster lines were covered with black tarp, so that everything was pitch black as your walking through the path to get to the ride. They had scaractors hiding in the path, and jumping out randomly at people waiting in line.
