All the references to "cave, mine, beneath the surface" makes me wonder if there is another rocking boat on the Herschend horizon. Wonder if we could see a Fire in the Hole type situation with Flooded Mine going away at the end of 27, then reopening new in 28.

I'd LOVE all of that - so much of what really brought that area "together" in the concept art was cut. Would it move the needle as fr as attendance goes, no - so theres no way they will do it. But I really wish they did some of this - especially incorporating KET and Buggies and a light re-theme of the drink/snack location right there as CampSnoopy Canteen - that would at least make the whole entrance to Camp so much cleaner, even if they didn't add the stuff behind surf dog.

OK thats not FIXING it

I think it needs to be ESSENTIALS that are park themed. Theres nothing "essential" about a snoopy plush. There should be a dedicated shop for Peanuts there as well as in PSnoopy. I'd like to see Build A Bear go away and a full Peanuts/Loony Tunes shop take its place with a strong store design. They could even keep the "stuff it yourself" idea, just scale it back a bit to allow for other stuff. That might work better in the "Trading Post" spot since they could do some fun IP merchandising on the "porch" EMPORIUM could be current KI ride themed stuff as well as general gift and "topical" stuff like a haunt shop, new ride shop etc. Move the KIGallery to the old Build A Bear location with park history displays and vintage ride themed, park history themed things in a more "gallery" style setting. There just needs to be a reason to go in different shops - as it is now there is the same exact stuff from one end of the street to the other.

All that. They already have the resources, they just don’t use them. Enclosing the lower part of the lift and certainly the final brake with lighting/projection would be another fairly inexpensive add

there is a crane-style cable lift built into the ceiling of the building. I dont believe you would be able to get a crane inside

There is a custom soundtrack in the bowl, they just need OBA or way better speakers throughout the entire run to hear it better. Its actually a specific track that starts at launch and runs all the way to the final station.

I think they could (and should) do both increase pass prices a bit AND make the water park a second gate that could be a nominal charge add-on for season passholders across all tiers.

There was probably some truth to that during the "make it all new and DAZZLING" Paramount days when the goal was to actively get rid of the past so the park seemed hip and new (like removing Antiques and Flying Eagles to put a new ride in that spot that arguably wouldve been way better in a different part of the park) but with the new focus on being a well-rounded, family-friendly, multi-generational park, I think the train would be safe as just a round trip ride.

It could quite easily be reconfigured with the train station and path to have it wrap around to the front gate area, or have separate check in station for those with existing tickets to scan before entering the water park. Simplest solution would be to just eliminate the water park stop for the train and walking path all together and have all admissions off the parking lot entry. Maybe add some set pieces to hide the walking path (now only for employee use) a bit and add landscaping to disguise the station area, but keep it funtional in case ever needed again. I could see having it be included for GOLD passes but being a separate gate charge for day tickets and maybe an add-on for SILVER SUMMER passes. I think its time to do that honestly.

I wonder with the new AP if the SixFlags GA Pass that I bought and was told I had to activate there will be active since its now showing as scannable in the ap and valid through 12/31/2026. Will try this weekend when back at park

I think that's correct. A few years ago (first year for Swinging, I was sitting next to a lady who was telling her friend "thats the costume I sewed. I loved the way the bow looked etc" leading me to believe yes, they are made on-site

That’s a good idea actually. Dollywood makes the swap out in a matter of days by having some easy swaps like this

Camp snoopy is “sort of” well done. There’s so much they could’ve easily done to make it feel way more complete. Starting with, why isn’t the ride themed to a tree not in the area themed to camping in the outdoors?

I guess the easy solution would be (crazy idea here) heaters and seating at all outdoor entertainment venues so at least the outdoor shows are tolerable and get the crowds the performers deserve. And yes to the Showplace renovation- I’ve said that for years, then a show like swinging or follies could go there instead of bandstand.
