Here we go again...
To the earlier question, I was just stating my opinion/wish list while the other guy was saying things as if they were definitely happening. We all have different ideas and quite honestly after thinking about it a dive machine would definitely look best in that area and connect them the most as the park president supposedly said. SplashBattle and Race Karts wouldn't really connect the two areas together...especially since those cars are already next to the SWF area..I forget what they are called. I don't think any water ride like SplashBattle would make sense in any area expect HH which most want expanded.

What should replace Deja Vu and Splashwater Falls?
13 Years with SFGAm World!
There was a TPR interview with Shapiro and he stated that every park has a Five year plan. Check it our here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=532576 . Shapiro mentions the five year plan..(a little more thatn half way through the interview) and he mentions something about bluetooth interaction in lines which i haven't seen yet. He also talks about balancing. Listen to the interview!
OnyxHotel - you are really showing your age, the more you post.
I don't know why you'd be getting special treatment - and seeing concept artwork before anyone else? When you can provide me with a reasonable answer on why you're better than the General Public, I'll be glad to show you the files. Until then, just like the General Public - you'll have to wait and see. Contrary to belief - tearing down rides, is almost as costly as constructing them in the first place. (Just something to think about) And to make this clear - your "Wish List" of what the park SHOULD be getting is a great laugh. Thanks for that - it made my day. Actin Up 24/7
If you listen to the interview now you know why we got Wiggles World.
Too much fire going on in this topic! I just want to say... If we have no proof in our eyes, then we won't elieve it! Simple as that! Onyxhotel08 has every right to state his/her opinion or chose not to believe in what people say! I don't believe the kiddie area as well, and there is nothing wrong with look at what we can get, other than kid places. I would like to see that artwork as well, but I know i won't see it.
Your last sentence was the only part that made sense. BUT I'm glad you agree.

Every year around this time one person comes on this board and says that they know something that noone else knows. Whether or not its true we never really know, but let me remind people of some classics.
1. Project Tumbleweed 2. New coaster while Whizzer's trees were being trimmed. 3. Project Tumbleweed two years later 4. The hand stamps show signs for next years rides. Thomas Town makes sense with the direction Six Flags has been heading in the last 2 years, although they very well may have to call off most capitol improvements due to their huge losses. Seriously, 6 admissions for the price of one? I don't even need a season pass anymore! Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2 Coaster Count: 444
S&S El Loco (a.k.a Steel Hawg, Indiana Beach)
-Great Capacity -Small Space(from what I've seen) -New type of ride -Most likely cheap -Not a major thrill ride, so family friendly Could provide great advertising This video shows a lot http://youtube.com/watch?v=cjA5L3mw4II My opinion poor wolfie rip
 ( hopewe get a neww bm wingrider for next year!11!
It's called being sarcastic and not wanting special treatment. FYI I never believed you had any "artwork" unless you made it back in 5th grade art class. How old are you? 12? 13 Years with SFGAm World!
Wow - you continue to amaze me with your ignorance.
Some people who are a part of this community aren't 18, like yourself. You are turning this thread into an unnecessary, catty, teenage argument, that I'm a little too mature for. And that's coming from a soon-to-be 27 year old.... When designers, (like myself) refer to artwork - it's explaining either a logo concept, renderings, ads, or anything creative that has been built. It's painfully obvious that you're not understanding me. So I don't know what more I can say - other than, "Watch And Learn, Little One...." Knowing and Hoping are TWO completely different things. I'll let you marinate with that thought..... -JC- Actin Up 24/7
this guy reminds me of colonel mustard
and just because you're 26 years old doesnt mean you can come on this site acting like you're the VP of park operations or something... 
Wrong Department - homeboy.
Vp of Park Ops has nothing to do with what's coming to the park, in terms of future attractions. That's decided by the corporate office in NYC. Anything else you'd like answered? I feel like ask.com with all this info I'm giving away. Actin Up 24/7
Whizzer IS popular, and is more popular than Iron Wolf from what I've seen. Every time I go to the park these days, Whizzer ALWAYS has a longer line than IW. Every time we go to the park, me and my boyfriend ride Whizzer. We love it. I don't think we've ridden Iron Wolf since opening day. I would have liked to go on it the past few times we went, but my boyfriend hates it. If they ever removed Whizzer instead of Iron Wolf, I'd be pretty upset. Iron Wolf hardly has a line, not many people like it. Whizzer is great for the families and kids, and of course couples (one reason I love Whizzer). Why get rid of it? If the park couldn't afford it anymore, then I might understand. But I think it is worth keeping. ClubXJeff - If you are who you say you are, I hope it is a giant ferris wheel, or at least a ferris wheel if not giant. It better be, or I'll cry.
So...
I am hoping we get that Dive Machine next season! It's what we want and deserve! But who knows if we will get it. We can say what we want. That's easy! But what other ideas would be possible to fit in those places? If it's a Splash Battle.. then oh well, at least it'll take people out of other ride lines! I think we will get something good soon, but no one really knows. What's the budget for rides? It would show what we might get for next year...
ClubXJeff, I'm thrilled you know what the tentative plans for the park are, but to post on here without any hard evidence and then act shocked when nobody takes it seriously is pointless. Its pretty basic on here if you don't have any proof other then your word, then it means nothing. To say that drawings are in the works doesn't mean anything either because drawings aren't official either.
I don't think Thomas town will be put in because one of the head people in the park (either GM or president I forget) said that they were going to utilize both (Vu and SWF) ride areas. It would make sense to replace BBNP with Thomas town if they were to decide to redo that area. We all can speculate whatever we will, but the only way to know for sure is to wait a few more months and see. Didn't they announce TDK just before fright fest? I put the countdown at about 2-3 months minimum before we hear anything official from six flags (or whoever owns Great America in a few months ) about a new 2009 attraction.Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.
What difference does it make anyways, they are going under anyways.

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
I heard somewhere that Mark Shapiro used to work for Disney, and he said in the interview that all new rides will have a story and a theme (like disney). The Disneyland resort has what, 3 kiddie areas and some family rides spread across the resort? So I think we will not be getting Thomas Town unless it is where Bugs Bunny National Forest is. I think if we do get a dive machine, it will have tecnoligy similar to California Screamin'.
I think a new coaster will make more money. Yeah when Wiggles World came out, alot of kids went there, but when the Dark Knight came out, LOTS more people came because the ads said NEW COASTER. Also, when I rode the Dark Knight today, there were COMMERCIALS in the pre show. Plus there was an army simulator in the parking lot. Either Six Flags is despreit or they need the money for a new coaster.Gravity Group fan
The Dark Knight was confirmed September 27, 2007. I actually think Bugs Bunny ain't going anywhere. C'mon it's Bugs and it's still popular with little kids who are too young to know better. A kiddie area was added just last year and Dark Knight was geared more towards families. Plus, I think they would want Hurricane Harbor to get a ride like Splash Battle which doesn't really move lines fast enough instead of putting it in an area with MUCH better water attractions. I don't see the go karts being moved just because HH will probably not be expanded for at least another year or two somewhere in 2010/2011 probably. In the long run, a dive machine would better serve the park. I don't think more people would end up going to HH or the park just because a new water ride opened up. It's usually a coaster that drives people inside. Oh, and if we do get a dive machine I would be ok without any new rides added for many years to come. Unless, of course, we lose Whizzer and/or Head Banger then that would suck cause we all hate losing coasters. Somewhere someone said either we or Great Adventure will get a dive machine for 2009 but they didn't lose 3 attractions in one off-season like we did. Plus our last major ride addition was 5 years ago. They are already getting a new addition to HH or just did I;m not sure.

Ok, after looking here http://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/
I think the best solution is to tear down BBNP and replace it with a splash battle. For Vu's spot a GREAT flat-- Disk'o(http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/disko.html) or a Discovery 30 (http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/discovery30.html) As for SWF, GIANT FERRIS WHEEL Also, Shapiro LOVES our park. He grew up here. His favorite ride is American Eagle. He's gotta hook us up with something BIG Last edited by saylorman47 on July 17th, 2008, 1:26 am, edited 1 time in total.

Really? THAT flat ride? Don't we have enough similar ones? PLEASE no SplashBattle inside the park. It's a ride for the under-11 crowd and supposedly doesn't have a very good capacity per hour. One thing I'm sure about they won't tear down Bugs Bunny National Park until they absolutely have to for something more major than a SB. Let's get real.

I heard in an interview with him that he has big plans for some other park. I cant rember which one.
guitarHero - I wouldn't by ANY means say that I'm shocked that no one believes me. You are absolutely correct, I have zero hard evidence to support myself. So in THAT respect, you are right.
I understand that the majority of this community is in fact teenagers with hopes and dreams for what the next attractions are... And if it's not what they want? So help me God... The wrath that I get for stating facts. Just a word of advice - don't be hittin me up for future info after all is said and done - and you've all come to realize that I was indeed right this whole time  That's all I'm Sayin... Actin Up 24/7
that discovery thing is just like revolution so cross that off.......
Liking a park has nothing to do with what they get, Shapiro loves Great Escape and they are getting a used SLC.
It all depends on which park deserves it more based on location (Great America only major theme park in Midwest), attendance and costs. Six Flags would only sheleve out the big bucks on the major 4...Magic Mountain, Great America, Great Adventure and Over Georgia. Maybe Over Texas too.
