Maybe I'll have to try this concept out in my 2025 map style. I figured it would be better to use the amphitheater and Invertigo plots for this coaster since they're both a bit out of the way and since the Timberwolf plot is not flat at all. The Skyflyer plot would be much better (imo) for any flat rides since it's already flat land and could lead people over to the line for The Bat. The bridge over to the entry plaza would be super nice for anyone coming from the Bus/RV and Banshee lots as well. That section of Columbia Road between the security checkpoint and the dead end doesn't see much action (if it sees any) and a bridge would almost definitely help out the flow of people into the entry plaza. What I really like overall about the entrances at Canada's Wonderland and Kings Dominion is that they jut out into the parking lot a little and feel really centered in them.

Like this concept. How about tilting it and the part that's over the entry plaza out into preferred parking, which would move the station between Invertigo and congo. This in turn, would shift the coaster into the sky coaster area. This would give a Canada's Wonderland vibe, open up space where Timberwolf, congo and Invertigo were for flats or even a smaller coaster. This would keep the entry plaza virtually the same ( but add the bridge, I love that!), renovate the buildings, add the flags back, get rid of ki specific ads. While we are at it, let's replace concrete with pavers, or decorative stamped concrete, put gas lamps in, have the berm restored with either the classic KI logo or the current year new attraction, and put hanging baskets everywhere! Did I tell you I really love the bridge?

I think if the entrance building were to receive a new facade with a renovation of the ground floor, it would look and work much better. Any coaster that might occupy that front gate view would need to work in context with the entrance buildings without interrupting the reveal of the park too much. Concepts for this, like the one I drew below, would also require a high amount of trees to be cut down. I don't like that one bit. I may not be the Lorax, but I love trees. In the spirit of putting my idea on screen so I can hate it for myself, I chose to create what you see below. Meet Timberwolf (or something else that could be wolf related), a front gate coaster that could give the park a reason to renovate the entrance plaza. It exits the former Congo Falls station, curves over the water, and heads up the lift hill, down toward the creekbed, over a new bridge, turns around in that middle planter, goes under the new bridge, and does some more stuff before heading back to the station. The pink is the coaster, the red are new/renovated building facades, and the green are a best case scenario for leftover trees. Like I said, I really don't like the idea of having a total front gate coaster. This is just my idea for if it had to happen.
