The key word is "theme" - which our friends at SEAS seem to be making a low priority these days, especially in Virginia. To paraphrase - "Once they get wet, they won't think too much about theming".
Which is a real shame too because here at SeaWorld Orlando, at Infinity Falls. Sesame Street, and Journey to Atlantis, there is always a line/a lot of people, no matter what time of year, which I believe is attributed to the amount of time they spent theming those rides. Infinity Falls consistently had hour-plus waits all of January and February and its hard to walk through Sesame Street anytime because of how many people are there. You think they would get the hint and put some good theming back in Williamsburg.

So, what you're saying is you want to make Williamsburg great again?

We’re gonna have the best theming. Big, beautiful theming, the likes of which nobody has seen before. Nobody will have better theming than us, everyone agrees. We’ll have so much theming you’ll get tired of theming. So much theming your head will spin.

Seriously, it's like Kinzel-era Cedar Fair - "build bigger and badder rides, they won't care that it's an unthemed lump of metal if it's a good ride"

But that worked for that company because they started only as an amusement park and he swore off going the themed route after the garbage fire that was Disaster Transport.

It would be funny if they had a lifeguard in the splash pool welcoming people to Alaska on Aquazoid ReVamped or whatever they're gonna call it.

I think there can be an entire discussion around something like this that isn't quite suited for this thread, the but theme park/amusement park stuff gives me whiplash at times.

That’s true for parks like Cedar Point, which is an amusement park through and through, but less true for the themed parks which CF acquired over time. See unthemed additions like Silver Bullet and Xcerator at Knott’s, or even I305, for example. Kinzel’s attitude was that theming was irrelevant because when it comes to big rides, “if you build it they will come.” There seems to be a very similar attitude happening at the SEAS parks right now.
