I haven't ridden Drop Tower because that's the one that's a bit too much for me. I also haven't ridden KI's WindSeeker, but I have ridden CP's....it was also a bit too high up and stomach-churning for my likes, so I won't be trying KI's anytime soon.
And in terms of past rides, I was never able to ride the OG Bat, Demon, Rotor, or Bavarian Beetle. Just a bit before my time (but I did ride King Cobra several times).
I doubt they'd bring back the water feature. It would probably require updates to the infrastructure (the water's been gone for 40 years), people don't have a history of treating stuff like that well, and I wonder if it would also cause the area to get a bit mosquito-y in the humid months. I also don't think we need to talk about changing the roller coaster's layout. It's not broke, doesn't need fixed.
But I like the idea of removing the TR:TR building to expand Rivertown. It definitely needs something fresh there; I feel like there's just one small stretch between the train station and the log ride that feels like RiverTown. A nice restaurant out there (BBQ would make sense, but Coney Mall has one) perhaps with outdoor seating and entertainment, would work.
Looks like a developer is wanting to bring in residential units next to The Beach Waterpark.
