Teacups would be a great addition almost anywhere in the park. We need a replacement for trabant and have lots of holes to fill.

If we did get tea cups i would want them to be so that each car can control their own spinning. For some people it could be a gentle family ride, and for some people it could be a moderate-thrillish adult ride.

I agree it should be a more modern tea cup ride. I hear La Ronde has a 3 ring 9 cup tea cup ride in storage. SO I think it's time to make some phone calls.

I doubt the Tribant spot will be filled any time soon. I was told by a member of the park staff they need the seating space for nearby food stands.

The way they did is kind of sketchy. They took a old ride platform and just put pinic tables on it. they didnt even cover the hole where the ride stode. They could have at least put up a gazebo up and that would be perfect

Yes they did cover the hole. They built a wooden structure around the hole, but a white fence around it, and put an eagle on top. It looks quite nice actually. I agree it looks thrown together... But at least it leaves the Alpine Haus less crowded with people eating :D

Edit: Heres Eagle Terrace

I was at the park today, and they had all the doors down on the arcade facing Desperado Plunge. I feel its lost opportunity for sales when Ghost Town is busy, like today. I finally tried the alpine drop tower, and have to say that its a good addition. Now they really need a dry attraction that will really bring in more customers. Also a note, the Boomerang has been down since last weekend. I was looking forward to go on it last weekend, but its still out of service.

The seating area is not my preferred choice for the location but I rather see that then a game.

I agree we need to see something fro the dry park but it seems they are looking to add a family attraction.

I was sent the survey so I could look at it. A few things came to mind. a family inverted coaster being the most unlikely. There are a handful of plan themed flats that could hold the name and theme.

Part of me also thought about a retheme of Kidzopilis to something more unique to TGE.
