Don't get me wrong here but Paramount I think actually did a pretty nice job when they had the park. They were trying to keep the thrills and family rides on about the same level. In 2003 they did this well when they added Scbooby Doo and Delirium. Another great time for the park was when they added Boomer Rang Bay. The old Water Park was looking crummy. Once again they did a great job giving us thrill slides family slides, and a few things for the kids to do.
In 1996 the addition of Flight of Fear was what I would call one of the worse decisions made. One reason. The over the harness restraints. I can remember walking straight on that ride until they removed them. Now the ride is unbelievable with the lap bars. Now the ride is great and almost never under a 20 minute wait.
Then 1999 was freaking one of the best years. 1 coaster Face/Off which is small looking but is a very fun ride. Then Dropzone. Dropzone for what Im guessing the park paid to have it installed I think was one of the best investments the park has made.
