Inspired by the seemingly success of Bel Concertino, I want to put forth ideas for other updates that could be made to have 'good atmosphere's' in other dining areas.

O'Taters - Build a little stage, and have a dueling pianos. From 11-2 and 5-8 daily a comedy/music show of dueling pianos interacting with the crowd.
Trappers - Pulling some BGW level thinking: A French Quarter New Orleans style Jazz Band.

They used to have the stage near the old Trapper's... with occasional live bluegrass... I kinda miss that.

My best friend passed out in the sun-drenched queue at the old Trapper's. I don't miss that.

OK BGW concept time:

Ziplines.

Hear me out before there's complaints. Yes people roll their eyes at the idea of upcharge attractions, but let's face it, they are 'easy money' for parks. So I've got 2 Suggestions for Zipline locations. 1 - From Pompii down to Ireland. Build a structure attached to EfP, zipline over the stables, catchpoint opposite FF. 2 - From Festhaus Field off a platform, over the Rhine, over MMXX, watchpoint behind Marco Polo's.

3 'Extra money opportunities' for the park:
1 - At the catch points, a camera system that catches pictures of you at the start, middle, and end of your journey
2 - Helmet mounted Go-Pro with video of your journey based on where you are looking
3 - Helmet mounted "selfie" Go-Pro with video of your face of what you did during the journey

The aquarium has a full on ropes course with some ziplines on some of the routes, but it is not really a zipline park. Go Ape in the Williamsburg area is supposedly something similar to that concept though I've not been there to know for sure. Either way, those are two competitors in the same market region for a similar attraction, BGW would be unlikely to want to get into that. Also they would need to stick it in the woods somewhere so they could use the trees to hold it up, though maybe they could stick it in the underutilized wildlife sanctuary cabana area.

However, there is a park somewhere using something like a gravity rail that mimics a zipline but has much more intense elements including hills and helixes. I believe it also uses, for lack of better terms, cars that riders can easily get in and out of without the need for harnesses.

Would guess something like that could be stuck in pretty much any area, and could possibly work like a coaster in that there's a complete circuit so there wouldn't be super long waits while the car gets back to the start.

I will say that a few years back they apparently discussed building something like this but nothing came of the discussions. It's likely it was nothing beyond just a couple of execs throwing an idea around and looking into it. That does happen all the time.
 
I'm thinking about 2022.

Let's assume for a minute that SPW happens.

The current sesame area now gets reclaimed by the park.

I'm thinking an England expansion. They already have the alleyway to access the area from England (they open this during kids weekends).

England does not have a coaster.

The sesame area probably has enough space for a pretty decent coaster.

Make it happen.
 
Yes. Any "extra " room in that area would likely be devoted to some type of gate area separating the two parks, and entrance/exit for people going between the two parks.
 
The park also wouldn't need to get another coaster after getting both 2020 and 2021(Which is potentially a coaster). It would be time for a flat ride if you want to put in a ride. By the time 2021 is built, providing it is a coaster, that's 5 coasters in 10 years. I think that's plenty to give it a rest, and just get a flat or two.

That being said, I don't think entry locations need rides. They are just the gates and main shopping area. Adding a ride to England just means even higher crowds in an already cramped area.
