Lets see here, like I allways say anything is possible; now off to my list:
1-You could fit a whole new territory inbetween Viper and Whizzer. Or put it a Custom Coaster in there, and have entrance by SSA, and Go Carts.
2-You can have a nice out and back coaster with its entrance by the SSA shuttle and have the track tournaround behind Southwest Ampitheater...
3-Then we can do what Paramount's did and take out Ice Mountain Splash/Yankee Clippper and put a coaster there.
4-This one would be complicated but I can see it happening, Entrance before the bridge by V2 Have a cable lift hill and the track would make a gaint circle aroun picnic grove.

the third choice would be bad, they would not take out IMS, even though it is operating only on certain days

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
Well, I didn't read all of these so I don't know if its been mentioned, but there is a lot of open land by sky Trek tower, stargate and the go karts. They could squeeze a nice sized ride there.
Hmm, not like it was that long of a post to not read.......
But i think Gam will start using their available space much more efficiently Around the world and back
I would like a water park to replace SSA and go karts.
P.S. The list listed above is a shorten version of the full thing. Last edited by planea380 on June 30th, 2004, 5:27 pm, edited 1 time in total.
I think it's the 'airplane' ride that used to sit there. The firetrucks sat not too far from that spot. Bottoms Up used to reside where the Orbit currently cycles. R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
A couple of notes and all of you have great observation. "I'll just say wait until you see where the next Major Coaster goes you will not beleive it." If we move The Wall we could bring back a flat like the himalaya that was once there. As for our old Carolsel I really don't think we will ever see it up at Great America again. It's for Sale!!!! I also want to point out the Looney Tunes National Park could be home to several new childrens rides, it's a big big waste of land. Expand they can Expand they will and don't worry Expantion will not kill.
Go Sox!
in my opinion they do need a couple new kiddie rides, i bring my sister, and shes tire of CCN within a good 1-2 hours, and looney toons are is just blah!

I'd just like to wait and see what Black comes up with next, and where it will be located.
You can't fill up every empty space in the park with rides/attractions. Then the park will end up looking like a dump.
As stated before, there is a lot of room in the park, but they cannot ruin the theming in the park to put new rides in, if they want to put them in over through the trees, let it be, but just don't ruin the theming and make the park look like nothing but rollercoasters

^ Yeah, lets keep it Great America and not Magic Mountain!
I agree with a earlier poster that a water park, if possible, would be a great addition to the park.
From having visited parks like PKI/PKD/SFSTL it is great to have a water park in the park as part of general admission to cool off and it also reduces wait times for the rides. But i dont think there is enough land to do this unless they did some major revamping of the park which likely wouldnt be cost-effective. What i think the park should do is get rid of the go-karts/shuttle and build a interactive dark ride and make the pictorium into a theater that would have a 3d/4d tpe show with movint seats w/different effects, like muppet vision/honey i shrunk the audience etc. With batman/superman or bug bunny and friends they have alot of material for either of the above ideas.
They also now have the rights to Cartoon Network and Viacom characters such as Spongebob.
Unlike CF, Six Flags actually has a load of character options besides the ultra boring, cheesy, Peanuts characters that CF uses. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
I don't know about PKI and PKD, but the reason why SFStL and SFKK have a waterpark is because they have less roller coasters and less flats to choose from. I am sure you can fit a waterpark in the park, but they won't do that unless they take out rides. SFOG has a waterpark separate from the park because they also have enough rides. On top of that, they sold the land across the road. Also, Gurnee has already or is getting a new indoor (I think it's indoor) waterpark.
Yes, I would love a waterpark because rides wouldn't be as packed. The waterpark would take a lot people.
Six Flags may soon get the rights to even more characters as Time warner is expected to buy Mgm within the next two weeks. (there are quite few, Tomb Raider comes to mind) Around the world and back
Gurnee has a waterpark on Hunt Club Rd. I have never been to it but I know its there.
Like Cedar Point I thought that Six Flags bought land across the highway to build a waterpark. I think if they put in a parking garage that had about 10 floors it would cost at least two million dollars and they could put it by the pick up area and Superman. They could keep the overflow lot too. With that much remaining land they could put in at least two Raging bull sized coasters. Maybe one more and all the other stuff that could be sqeezed into the park.
They once had the land across the highway, and a hotel/ waterpark was proposed, but they were given a deadline of when to build it, and when it wasnt built by last year, Sf sold it.

I don't mind the idea of SF owning rights to viacom, mgm, or what not but think of it this way. If any sf parks started to put up themes with tomb raider, spongebob, ect. you'd be in "competition" with other parks.
Example: SF is the only chain that has rights to the Looney Toones/WB (I Believe). Now, if CF got rights and Paramount got rights and Universal got rights for Looney Toones/WB, do you see where you're headed? All theme parks will be like every other theme park when it comes to the characters around the parks. Does it sort of make sense?
Good Point, they already have a Sponge Bob ride at SFGAdv. The thing is that you have Universal Studios which makes almost all their rides after movies, and you have Disney which makes all their rides after Disney stuff. Six Flags is not a major motion picture company or like Disney. Six Flags has to "borrow" from others.
It would be great if SF bought rights to use Jurassic Park, Spiderman, or The Mummy. It won't happen though. The thing is that I consider SF to be more a "thrill" park than a "theme" park. This does not mean that they don't have any theme, it's just not as much as the other two.
Even if Time Warner buys MGM that doesn't have anything to do with SF, or at least not anymore.
Doesnt ime Warner own SF, Im pretty sure they do.
Around the world and back
They used to, SF was baught by Premire around 6 years ago.
Like what Wisconsin Dell's has, a Kalihari(sp?) Resort type water park? I would sure like to see what Ga does in the next few years, hopefully they don't remove any major coasters or rides. They could put a coaster behind Yankee Harbor and Mardi Gras, remove that 'Animal Theatre' and make picnic grove smaller, or build around it, also in that area they can destroy like some 200 or 300 employee parking spaces for the nesscary(sp?) room back there.
