Spitballing some realistically unrealistic ideas…   Idea 1. Mack Rocking Boat attraction in Rivertown. In a perfect world, the TR:TR building would removed, but incorporating it into the the attraction could work well too. I think one of the surveys mentioned a dark ride/family coaster idea for that space, so maybe something similar in concept. It could be indoor/outdoor and the area around the building (like between the KIMVRR, Diamondback, and Mystic Timbers) could be revamped to include more water features, landscaping, etc. Need to bring more water features back to that area of the park.    Idea 2. Flat Package for Coney Mall, plus an area refresh. A few classic or contemporary flats would do the area very well. Even with the Adventure Port additions, the park still lacks in the flat ride department. This would obviously include the return of the original Coney/KI Flying Eagles, which is definitely going to happen. Right? It’d also be cool to see a Ferris wheel with a show stopping lighting package.  The arcade buildings are given a facelift to resemble the architectural style of Coney BBQ, while incorporating the current, classic lights and signage.  This would prime the area for a knockout Vortex “replacement” in the few seasons ahead. Or even a junkyard coaster replacement since it’s getting up there in age like me.    Idea 3. General park updates and improvements, plus a new dining experience. These are often the best types of seasons for the park. A new indoor dining location is needed, and I’d push for the International Restaurant to be used. Could be an opportunity to refresh the front gate area as well. But the old arcade/Killmart building in Coney Mall could work for a new restaurant too. 

Super cool photos, I figured it was an original, I thought since they already have these busts their was no need to re create them when they already look alright, I wonder if they plan on using the other ones

Sadly they have shown a degradation each year of the pass (sometimes negative changes even mid season) and yet people still buy it, and then to make matters worse, they give it away as a free upgrade LOL. Sadly people will still renew Prestige come August.  Always have, always will. And the park knows/counts on that.  People will continue to purchase regardless of the offering. At some point they won't but that doesn't appear anytime soon to enough quantity to make a dent in the numbers.

The new preferred parking setup is an absolute disaster. The weird nondescript lane it puts you into at the exit seems like an accident waiting to happen, and they've apparently been closing it and refusing to allow more cars in hours before the park closes even though plenty of spots are open. The snacks were also the only good part of the patio "lounge", so seeing those changed to a Costco sample size is pretty disappointing.

Congrats to Tiny Carovilano on his promotion!
