I'd love to see a quality (Sally) dark ride in our park. We've got the Justice League, so we should use them to our advantage. Place a nice dark ride in Movietown themed to the Justice League, as well as maybe one or two other small flats with a character meet and greet. And where would they put this? I spy Chiller's spot...

I was thinking about this thread last time I went to Hershey, but I forgot to post my thoughts until just now.  I was looking at the flyers and even though they are low capacity I think that they would do OK at Great Adventure.  But, to increase capacity you could add a gimmick that I think would be worthwile.  Instead of only one flyer installation, make 3-4 on one pad.  Space them out appropriately and you've kicked that ride up many notches.  The fact that on every revolution you're dueling with two other flyers is pretty intense.  Especially if you're both out really far, or of you happen to dive down as you're approaching another flyer.  That's just insane IMO!  I would have a hard time leaving them alone!

Something that I wold love to see (I think I mentioned it before) would be if a giant frisbee was added in Evolution's old spot.  I still miss Pendulum and I am throughly convinced that it only failed because of it's horrid placement.  That is a midway ride that is ment to be proudly displayed for the masses.  The queue is still there, and "Playtime Plaza" is rarely used for anything other than a shortcut from Grannys to Cables restrooms.  Give us Giant Frisbee 'cause we want fun!

If GADV put the Knoebels Flyers in Spin Meister's spot.  Take Ovni from La Ronde and put it in Chaos' old spot. Transfer Dorney's staff from Dorney to Great Adventure and trasfer Great Adventure's staff to Dorney and see what happeneds! Management and all :P
