since my username isnt working properly and wont let me post a new topic, i would like to see a few things in the park considering no rides. post your opinion of any minor changes you want to see in the park this year.

1. ALL RIDES but either a fresh coat of paint or a touch up. no discoloration, or fading, or chipped paint.
2. see almost all rides running opening day. give or take 1 or 2......... but all coaster up and running
3. see the storytown train train after dusk and into the darkness during fright fest (like they did last year) and during late night hours and specific dates
4. wasnt the comet's track supposed to get more rehab for this season? or did they just retrack that one turn...
5.condor to be almost fully operational ALL SEASON. (that might be a hard one)
Among others those are the main ones....
POST YOUR OPINIONS BELOW!

i agree with the things you have posted but the one thing that has been bugging me is the unused waterfalls on raging river. it would be nice to see them running again

Yes. That would be nice! That was one of the highlights of the ride.

They should have invested the money to fix the waterfalls rather than the use of lame ass garden hoses! There's nothing like hitting the waterfall just right and having the boat fill up with tons of water. LOL!

It would be nice if they brought back the change machine that was next to the squirters and added a couple more over by the smoking area.

My GF and I must spend ten bucks a week sitting at those guns soaking everyone. BTW 1&2 are awsome and 3&4 are worthless.

I like all of the ideas put forth so far. Though I don't have a problem with the train not operating after Dusk except for Fright fest. since it's a closed layout there is not much of a need to operate for extended hours.

The waterfalls bug me especially the water hoses with sprayers they added. they are extremely noticeable. I talked to a family of first timers and while they didn't realize the water fall was missing they did notice the hoses, but admitted the sprayers were effective.

i only added the storytown train because im always rushing to get a relaxing ride on it because it closes so early.(i normall visit the park during the later hours during the season)
but yes i agree on everything elese. lets face it, its just TGE being cheap.

you can never go wrong with a 10-15 minute relaxing ride with your family.
