Three pages about restrooms and about how badly the general public wants to ride roller coasters in the snow?
Ugh.
Ugh.
Future Park Plans
- Thread starter Party Rocker
- Start date
Of course they will and it will have the shortest line you will need to stand inParty Rocker said:Bathrooms can be just as exciting as a new coaster
Well if they need more toilets, I wouldn't be surprised if you had to wait in line now But since they are adding more, you should be fine.
Anyways, the future of the park. It currently goes like this, Verbolten, Resort/Train Station, New dark rides, new country, new season schedule (aka full-year opps).

Yes they will need full-time opps if they move to a more year round schedule. But, I don't this happening any time soon and if they do this it will be Friday's and weekends only with limited hours.
Well, I think it will happen, and at first they may start out with just that, but then depending on all the additions they plan to add after the next 10 or so years, who knows then?
To be quite honest, I really think y'all are reading too much into general park improvements. The Rhinefeld restrooms opened in 1975 with the park and have remained the same size for 36 years. Now with the park capacity being at 33,000 for the normal operating season, I'd imagine that this is nothing more than a general capital improvement to handle the crowds.
The logic I've read in this thread is that a simple restroom expansion somehow confirms year-long operation. I mean, seriously, it's toilets we're talking about.

Back on topic... I still think people are generally on crack if they feel that the park is in any serious way considering operating 12 months a year. The can't get people to show up in the spring and fall if it's under 80 degrees. What in the world are they going to do to draw any kind of crowd to justify operations when it's 30? Williamsburg is a ghost town Jan-March.
Busch Gardens adding a hotel...fine, seems somewhat logical for a park marketing themselves and WCUSA as part of a Williamsburg multi-day vacation.
But automatically assuming this means year-long operation is a little absurd. Look at Cedar Point, they are open like three months less out of the year and have a hotel. And where did this out-of-left field rumor start about three dark rides? I mean, seriously?

Back to the potty talk (maybe I worded that wrong) for a second. I will be a little disappointed but not surprised if during all these renovations they get rid of those cool looking faucets with the AB logo engraved in them. I would actually consider buying one. I know I have mentioned those fixture before.

Certain sources have already leaked out their next 5-year plan after Verbolten. It was actually 2 dark rides, and year-round operation is expected to happen. Now since they haven't started to do anything with this plan things can change dramatically but from what we know the plan is (as posted previously):
2012
APRIL - Verbolten opens (Fact)
- Announcement of next 5-year plan
- Resort begins construction
2013
- Resort construction continues
- Details of Resort announced
2014
- Resort opens
- Details of Dark Ride 1/Spain announced
- Dark Ride 1/Spain begins construction
2015
- Dark Ride 1/Spain opens
- Details of Dark Ride 2/Spain announced
- Dark Ride 2/Spain begins construction
2016
- Dark Ride 2/Spain opens
This plan can be extended to 2016, due to some construction issues, but as of now this is the plan that we know and yes it may change very dramatically and the timeline isn't exactly on point, but it is very close to what we may see. Full year operation will be thrown in sometime between 2013 - 2016.
***I edited the plan to try to get a more correct plan, if anything changes feel free to edit this plan.***
