Decided to check out trademarks... I know this has been discussed, but ValleyFair's waterpark has the trademark Superior Shores Waterpark

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. 

Very much in agreement with you here.

@Losantiville Mining Co., I like your ideas. That side of the park really needs a climate controlled building.  Juke Box Diner is disgusting, so a complete replacement would be ideal.  How would you tie the "feel" of the existing Area Formerly Known as Coney Mall into this area?  Would you do anything from AP to the renovation zone... cosmetic, major infrastructure, rides, etc? I'd enjoy seeing your ideas for a master plan the includes the removal of The Junkyard Coaster, renovation of the grass area, and while you're at it, renovation of The International Showplace and dress up the area surrounding the Eifel Tower, similar to KD. ( I guess this would necessarily need to put Tower Gardens in the mix, too!)

I feel like both of these issues could be solved with a little re-imagining of both areas, including a new Kenton's Cove subsection of Rivertown replacing Tomb Raider's building and a realignment of Coney's midway to help shake out that awkward junction in front of Jukebox Diner. The issues with Stunt Coaster's theme could be resolved by giving it a hot rod theme. I like the idea of the fun house coaster, but it might be a little much to do either in conjunction with the subsections I already have in my head canon.  Personally, I feel like there are three sections of Coney Mall: the original 1972 section (includes Zephyr), the remains of the 1975 section, and the Coney/Rivertown pathway. A visually-present Vortex replacement would help to tie QCSC back into the area while a midway realignment would fix the transition that got wrecked by KMAA. I love that they brought back the antique cars and that it was placed in an under-utilized space, but the area feels so disjointed now.
