Thats why I never understood the major investment in the BandStand over Showplace in the initial build out. Its just not a nice place to watch a show... any season excpept maybe fall, then there still no seating. I've suggested several times to take the two front quarters in front of the tower and pave them. Add seating and some really nice planters, maybe even a few trees toward the back to make a raised seating area for when there are shows there. 

The sloped floor among the seating is probably why they don’t use it for Winterfest. Busch Gardens Williamsburg has a  couple outdoor amphitheaters that they use for shows at their Christmas town event.      It’s a shame that Kings Island has a sitdown venue that they don’t use at Winterfest considering all the live entertainment at that event.  The temporary, standup venues for the shows at Winterfest. Definitely contribute to lower quality shows. This amphitheater could host a higher quality show for the event.   I think this is  a factor  of  Winterfest starting to fail some parks.   The event has already left Worlds of Fun and Kings Dominion.  The lack of sitdown venues for the shows leads to lower quality shows.   Plus, it’s not pleasant for the audience to stand when they watch a performance. Plus the lack of new quailtu production entertainment from year to year.   Yuletide Follies was a slight move in the right direction but enough.              

Oh me, too. But in an age of austerity for six flags, anything would be on the table. As far as the justice league buildings, of course I know that's not likely to ever happen, but stranger things have.  As far as PT being in the middle of DC, if they are slashing costs, it's happened in the history of both companies as things evolve...Asian, Italian, American in the German themed building, Cajun food in  The French Building, a giant tan garage housing a jungle themed ride in Rivertown, and The Junkyard Coaster in the no man's land between Rivertown and the Arena Formerly Known As Coney Mall.  And that's just one park!

Geez. You just blew my mind with that screenshot. Good times. 

What about Orion/Megabyte
