Park Size?

[w00dland]

The land on the other side of the Highway was just sold.

[Danhockey04]

I know, i forgot to put in the word "have"

[twixmix0303]

I say keep both kiddie areas. Heck, even add another one. It's the families that bring in all the $. Plus, we won't always get a brand new coaster every year. We were lucky to get a new coaster in 2003 and 2 new coasters in 2001. Plus, we got not only a new coaster this year too, but 5 other rides.

Water Park, Water Park, Water Park.

I would like a waterpark only if they make it in park...inside the park.

[Chitown]

If they put a waterpark in the existing bus lot, that would still be considered in -park. They could easily create access to it from SWT.

[planea380]

I know Six Flags owns the lakes, so why not hvae it there and have and entrance through orleans.

[Carlo]

People homes are right next to the lake.

[planea380]

I mean build around the half of the lake that is not by people's homes, over the access road, and part of that unused SUF land. The access road can actully be dug down to allow equal land level for a water park. Anyways, other towns have wateroarks next to people homes and they do not mind. A water park doesn't make as much noise as a rollerocaster, so I would not really see much objection to a waterpark.

[Chitown]

Yes, the neighbors will object near that pond.

That is one of the reasons why SF sold the land on the other side of the tollway. Neighbors in that area objected to a waterpark, hotel, and convention center.

Also, I'm sure being a retension pond, it's probably filthy and you wouldnt want a waterpark near that body of runoff

[Danhockey04]

I still say put it in the bus parking lot

[FParker185]

If anywhere, I'd bet money if they ever build it, bus lot will be the location, with Busses moved to the RV lot. Though right now I dont think they are planning a waterpark anymore, with a new one supposedly opening near the IL/WI border and WI Dells being the waterpark capital of the universe. They can always try though I suppose, would work as a single gate (waterpark and amusement park for one price)

Doesn't the Sky Trek Tower recording say that all our water for water rides comes from that lake?

[twixmix0303]

You mean the pond? I hope not. That's where all the parking lot rain drains to.

[FParker185]

each water ride has it's own Resivour (sp?) where water is held for the rides, V2 is over the one for the Flumes, Splashwater's pool under the ride supplies that, I forget where White Water Rampage's is, probably just the lowest part of the ride. They are all topped off with regular city water regularly due to evaporation and people carrying it away in their clothes.

That pond it just a stagnent runoff puddle from the parking lot and it contains all the usual parking lot stuff (anti freeze, motor oil, gas, all kinds of stuff that'd make for a fun water ride)

Could be worse, Cedar Point just sucks water straight out of lake erie for their water rides, no filtration chlorination or anything and at the end of the day all the water is dumped back into the lake. (Exept for Snake River Falls, that water is treated)

I think the reason why SF puts a waterpark in there park is because of how many rides they have. St. Louis has about 23 or so non-pay, non-kiddie rides. They have 6 coasters and we have 11. I have been to Kentucky and it seems to be the same story. For the rollercoasters, they have T2, Chang, tow wooden coasters, Greezed Lightning, and Roadrunner mouse. (6) No wonder why they need a waterpark inside the park. SFGAM has about 40 non-pay, non-kiddie rides. I don't think that SFGAM will be putting a waterpark in anytime. However, they could make it separate from the park like Georgia's and probably if and when the time comes.

[coasterfreak11]

I think they could put the parking lot that is not used very often into a water park!

Who knows? The voice of the narrator is almost always altered by the surrounding blabbermouths on the ride.

[Danhockey04]

They have 6 coasters and we have 11.

We have 13 rollercoasters

[Ilovthevu']

To Danhockey04:

I count 11 roller coasters without kiddie sorry, but I don't count 13.

1. BTR 2. SUF 3. D Vu 4. RB 5. RC 6. Am E 7. Demon 8. IW 9. Viper 10. Whizzer 11. V2 12. Kiddie

[mschulz5]

Once again, we may start the age-old debate, that is if American Eagle is considered one coaster or two.

[SFGA 11]

Just curious, why don't you count Spacelys, or "kiddie" a coaster? It runs on wheels and goes on a track so why isnt it a coaster?

[w00dland]

AE is two coasters because they are different lengths I believe. The helix on blue is much larger than red's.

Forget about the parking lot, your are doing what Six Flags is doing, taking the easy way out. What about all the land [b]inside[/b] the park not being used.

[Papas]

I've always hated concept of a waterpark inside the regular park.
