After The Wing

Replace the Go-Karts with a train that runs back through the former Dinosaurs Alive land, and add a new chicken restaurant where the Skyflyer was (connecting the path so it could be accessible from Grizzly or next to Windseeker).

I would like to see a Gerstlauer Infinity coaster in Candy Apple Grove. That part of the park really needs some work.

Personally, I think Anaconda replacement should be a "thrill" coaster. An STC would go nuts there, as would a Tilt.
That said... bring on a couple exquisite family coasters in the Dinos Alive plot and Jungle X. Perhaps rip out the ampitheater?

Personally, I’d be disappointed to see another coaster go where Anaconda was. The lake looks so good now that it’s opened up, and it adds a gorgeous piece of nature to that corner of the park. It really helps it feel like a “jungle”.

That said, a flat ride on the plot of the Anaconda station would be really cool if it could either swing over or provide a view of the lake.

If I were making the decisions, the areas I’d prioritize for future coasters would be:

• Old Xtreme Skyflyer plot - a small to mid-size coaster could be squeezed in here, ideally without touching too much of the woods around Grizzly
• Old Joe Cool Driving School plot - as has been discussed before, it would be a perfect place for a much-needed modern family coaster
• Old Go Karts / Dinosaurs Alive plot - if I had my druthers, I’d use the Dinosaurs Alive space solely as space for a lift hill or launch, with most of the coaster being located behind the Kings Dominion Theater. This would preserve Grizzly’s forested feel and provide some eye-catching views of the coaster from I95

And a few others to keep an eye on:

• Flight of Fear plot - sadly, it doesn’t seem like this ride is long for this world, opening up a potentially large plot for a major new coaster. In my ideal world, SF (or whatever owner is in the park’s future) would reuse the building for another indoor coaster
• White Water Canyon plot - another one I’d hate to see go, as I love the expansive wooded feeling of this ride, but rumors of its demise have been swirling for years, and it would open a massive space for a major new coaster

Lastly, my personal fantasy: move Delirium to either the Anaconda station plot or the Xtreme Skyflyer plot, opening up the entirety of the old Shockwave location — if they also removed the Peanuts Showplace, that would provide plenty of room for a compact coaster that would offer much-needed kinetic energy in the heart of Candy Apple Grove.

To add to @Mushroom 's list there - the old Dino's trail would make a good plot with one caveat: They take down minimal tree's to make it.

I hope they rework the land/pathway behind dominator. With beserker and the driving school gone, I feel like they could do something good here. I despise this part of the park. A legit family coaster could fit in that space and use some of the dead space on the dominator plot as well.

As much as I hate that pathway, I'm not sure I want to see it completely go away.

I would say with so many other good plots for coasters, I would want to see that, and maybe steal some space out around the other side of Dominator as well to put in flats, dining, entertainment.

I guess I'm the only one who uses that pathway for either a) a beeline to Woodstock's Express at park opening before the queue fills up with kiddos, or b) a nice relaxing stroll back to Reptilian at the start of the day when Woodstock is closed?

While I think the path could be better utilized (especially during Haunt), I'd hate to see that loop blocked off. Dead ends are never good park design.

While I think the path could be better utilized (especially during Haunt), I'd had to see that loop blocked off. Dead ends are never good park design.

It’s the fastest way to Jungle-X and never crowded. Often times I’m the only one on the entire path. It’s the best
