Well except for Shoreline Pier and all its rides. That's been barely an 8-9 month project from conception to installation. But then, it's a one-off very timely project that isn't typical. Having 4 "new" rides in-house and one on-site made it possible. If they were buying truly new, we'd be waiting a couple of years for the rides.
I wouldn’t mind using a GCI woodie as a visual “block” of the parking lot to give Shoreline more of a feeling of place.
If you go back and look at the aerial pic, there’s definitely room for a white lightning out and back style GCI, probably even bigger than WL. Station and lift hill between BoF and Project Purple. Drop to the left, out and back once or twice, with the thinnest point behind BoF. That would really enclose the area nicely.
ok, maybe they can add a water ride like a mack splash battle if theres room in the budget and you have the full pier
This is what I’m thinking as well. Kentucky kingdom uses Kentucky flyer to do exactly this to great effect, and even though that ride isn’t huge it has an out and back layout that does all the screening it needs to.
Hmm, how about a nice long family woodie that runs up to Superman along the fenceline, shielding the Pier as has been said, then goes along the path under PP's inversion and runs around Ka's old plot? They'd never do something that creative.
I’d genuinely trade the dream of a GASM tilt for this as long as it has all the jank a PTC should. It’s such a shame that there are only 22 left operating, every time I ride one I’m a bit sad that I have one less new PTC to experience.
Personally, my vote would be for a ground-up RMC I-box using the old RT station location called "Iron Thunder" or "Steel Thunder" or something like that.
