    • If it were to be the major expansion for a year then I'd really like to see the park also complete a little refresh of Planet Snoopy as well. Lots of new paint and signage (and maybe a few new trees) would do wonders for the area. Fixing the concrete would help too. As for 2026, another thing I'd like to see the park take on is a renewed effort in landscaping. They always do a wonderful job with the foliage, but it's felt like something has been missing these past few years. Maybe I really just want to see more done with the walkway between International Street, Coney Mall, and Rivertown like we had in 2011.
    • I'll be honest, this is a much better location for the Farmer Music Center than I had originally thought. I was under the belief that it would be occupying some space on the midway. This location in the West Parking Lot still leaves the original midway and some of the buildings for future use. There's even plenty of space left along the midway for a nice carousel and some food vendors (I'm only somewhat kidding). With the Moonlite Gardens sitting condemned since 2019, I really hope they can do something to restore it and make it useable again. If it's just the floors that are the issue then it may be a relatively easier fix than if the entire structure is having issues. As unlikely as it is, I really would love to see some of Coney Island used for more than just festivals and events at some point in the future. Unless the plans call for more land to be used, there's room for the aforementioned carousel, a couple other flat rides, and a small roller coaster (not that the owners would be into that, though). The massive loss of the Sunlite Pool won't be remedied any time soon, but I think it could still be a nice little family park again. Heck, they could even rent it out for a majority of the year like Stricker's Grove does if the demand is there.
    • I mean Magic Mountain is basically doing that this year and I don't believe they're adding any new rides to that area. In fact they're removing a couple of rides in their kids area.  If the budget allows, I think they would do it and they could make it marketable. I think families would be very excited about an expanded Beagle Scout Acres. BSA is nice, but I think they could add more to it. A multi level play structure and splash pad immediately come to mind. 
    • I always thought with Indy being the "racing capital of the world" they could really phone that in and build an amazing IndyCar themed park. I feel that could be really successful, especially during race season. 
    • I’d love to see that happen in 2027.
