Rumor After the Boardwalk Renovation & Coaster

[sharpr1]

Ngl I kinda agree

The overall improvements over the last few years have already gone a long way and in due time the park should really be up to the Cedar Fair standard for cleanliness and appearance.

The restaurant renovation trend that they're on right now is honestly one of my favorite updates we're seeing, cannot wait to see the new Best of the West. With JDC BBQ currently closed with no signs of opening next year I think that is going to change next year. They've been doing 2 a year so I think that's something we can expect to continue, and there are a couple good candidates. Mama Flora's, Macho Nacho, and Heroes Grill are what I personally believe to be the top candidates.

Another change I really need to see them make: MERCHANDISE

The merch in the park is just abysmal to put it lightly. The designs are always pretty trashy and the rides never look like they should (Medusa looks like a old Vekoma on all its merch). And after visiting Knott's and Cedar Point I know that they can do much better in this department, even Dorney does a way better job. Get made to thrill in here again to make some clothing pieces, I have a few of theirs and they are awesome.

Seriously. I'm so fed up with the merch, now and historically (older merch wasn't that great either and anything decent is hard to find now or too expensive), that I'm just making my own. I'll be rocking this soon.

Cedar Point work with this local brand called GV Art + Design and they make honestly the best merch for the park. I own their Steel Vengeance shirt (not on their website for some reason) and the "collage" shirt and they're both super nice. Obviously Great Adv would need to find their own local brand to partner with but man I would kill to have something like this.

I'm convinced that JDC BBQ is on the way out to make a larger Nitro Plaza. I think having it right across from the Pine Barrels Bar/Snack stand is a waste of space, and they should just renovate the later to be a more comprehensive food booth.

yeah, that's what I think, theres are kitchens in the pine barrels bar/snack stand that can be reused for that while the jdc bbq booth gets demolished for a new ride plaza/queue line for nitro

I’ll take 3 if they’re red, white, and blue

I don’t know that a surf coaster would be a great idea for the park. Shockwave was short lived enough that it didn’t leave much of an impact, but Green Lantern wasn’t exactly well liked and another stand up would likely draw the immediate reaction of “no thanks.”

Great concept though, an artificial lake in the area is a pipe dream of mine and I hope it happens regardless of how unlikely it is.

They have a great natural lake they need to utilize better. It's been totally abandoned over the last 30 years as the park emphasis has shifted to the front-facing north side. The never-built Giga over by the log flume concept is something I'd love them to revisit. If I have to lose a favorite in Medusa to redevelopment, put a Giga or a long woody like KI's Beast over the Medusa and arena plots and have it wind out the wooded peninsula next to the safari, a la Nitro's meander. A lakeside run would be tremendous for a ride.

I'm probably in the minority here but I'd rather not see anything built on/along the lake and let it keep its natural beauty. Something in the arena plot that goes along the safari for a little stretch would be cool, like Cheetah Hunt.

I was always in favor of having two coasters over by that Medusa area due to how there isn’t a ton to do, but a crazy giga + best of the west honestly might be able to hold that area down. Could make the giga western themed to go along with the restaurant

I’m still annoyed as hell that Joker got plopped right in front of a direct view of Switlik Lake from the park entrance that hadn’t existed at any point in the park’s history until Aqua Spectacle was demolished. Could’ve just as easily shifted it over to the left where Great Lake Grandstand was, which was demolished at the same time as Aqua Spectacle.

me getting off linear slop shuttle #2 in desperate search of the soul-quenchingly rich experience offered by a complete circuit coaster of considerable length designed to take advantage of Great Adventure's uniquely huge land reserves and the appeal of its naturalistic setting
