Couple thoughts:
- in the image above- I like the Coney throwbacks in the park- but some of this seems misplaced since "Coney Mall" is somewhere else in the park. I thought they should dismantle one of the original Coney Island entrances from the old park (not sure what they'll be used as now) and reconstruct them at KI.... and build a replica of Moonlight Gardens as an indoor eating experience with a feel like the Grand Pavilion at CP.
As for the themed area overhauls listed above... KI has too many "areas".
International Street- one of the best environment entrances, but hardly "international" anymore
Planet Snoopy- should be overhauled and incorporated into Camp Snoopy
Camp Snoopy- great start (will it be expanded?)
Action Zone- no cohesive story and has some aging rides in their last stages in prominent locations
Octoberfest- basically a German-themed hall with American-Italian as well as Chinese fast food... and a swinging ship
Adventure Port- two spanish themed rides... and arguably the best themed ride in the park Adventure Express
Coney Mall- annoying pop music with a large scar in the back coming to it's 7th season
Rivertown- Nice "rivertown'ish" feel with coasters that point in another direction
Area 72- a good start but with a lot of concrete and nowhere to expand.
Did I miss any?
I like this idea. I also think what they could do is move Shake, Rattle, and Roll to the empty grass area in between (what was) the Jukebox diner and Coney Treats then make SR&R's plot into a grand entry plaza for the Vekoma ghostrider. That way it isn't as much of a bottleneck like it was on Vortex's last day.
