When you look at the most popular parks in America you see they all feature many indoor attractions. That's partly because they can't afford to let weather dictate crowds. I know BGW will never equal these parks, but Virginia weather does throw many curve balls. We get oppressive summer heat, hurricanes, wet and windy springs, and now cold winters the park needs to contend with. I was interested to see what permanent or even part time indoor attractions make financial and realistic sense. DarKoaster is a great start, but I hope to see more of this.
A couple easy ones for me are close in tradewinds permanently. You could change the ride with new custom lighting even. Enclose the teacups and bumper cars for the winter season. Both structures lend themselves to doing this. These three rides and lines could provide a nice relief and be more comfortable for riding. Same goes for elephant run and maybe even lil clydes.
I really hope the park replaces BfE with a brand new simulator, from the ground up. That structure doesn't lend itself to much else aside from maybe a flat or two. Castle oSullivan is another location that could be used to house a good indoor attraction. I think the building even has room to expand if needed.
What else do you all think? Good investments, or waste of capital?
