    This is a topic I think would be fun. You basially pick one thing that you would change at SFNE.

    If I could make once change at SFNE it would be to get rid of the headrests on Bizarro, especially if the audio is choppy.

    This is kind of like the SFNE Online wish list, but I like topics like these...

    I would move Kontiki to CAC.

    Themeing the South End of the park to Gotham City so SFNE can actually be called a 'theme park'.

    The one thing I would chance is the pricing at the park. everything else can wait and be improved over time. but, in my mind the pricing is the single more problematic item in for the entire property. Parking, admission, food, etc all need to be leveled out so that the gust is at mind. stable reasonable prices will promote good customer service and drive repeat business.

    IMHO the admission price isn't bad at all for what you get. The parking and food is ridiculous, but even though I have a season pass I still don't think admission is expensive. I mean for that price you get all the rides except blitz and daredevil dive, shows,and the water park. If they lower that price even more stuff is going to get cut...

    The shows stink and the ride selection in chuck full of kiddie rides. The water park adds to the value but you can't assume the everyone pays kids price will be in affect next year so your talking 42 or is it 43 for normal adult admission. but value is based on opinion and what gets used. SFNE only has 25 rides not associated with a kiddie land. out of 14 kiddie rides around 4 can accommodate adults. So they have 39 rides. the water park offers 17 attractions with 25 slides. So as an adult you are only paying a dollar per attraction which isn't bad. But still high compared to some parks.

    Parking, food, etc all add to the overall costs. a family of 3 pays and extra 5 dollars a person before even getting through the gate.

    You have a good point there. I think this should be a poll question: Excluding parking and food do you think the admission price at SFNE is fair considering what they offer? Can someone who has the ability to create a poll make one for this question? Thanks! :)

    to add onto what mrceagle has already said- truly make the park family friendly
    by allowing NONRIDING guests- senior citizens/ childrens grandparents to enter the park.
    My in-laws are older and would love to see my daughter in the park- but they wont pay $40 so they can walk around, not go on rides, and overspend on food

    they should make it like a $5 entry fee and give them a bracelet or something, I agree its insane to charge 40 bucks for someone who will not get 40 bux worth of their time at the park

    They'd have to give bracelets to everyone who can use the rides, otherwise those who couldn't could just rip them off and ride. Even still, there'd be some ripping off and sharing I'm sure, but a lot less.

    I noticed that SFNE doesn't offer a senior rate. I think they are the only park in New England that doesn't. The price charged to visitors with disabilities is a big aggravation for me. there should be a sliding scale. I have a friend in a wheel chair. I don't even want to know the admission cost for her but out of the entire park Rt 66 is about he only attraction she would use. Why shoudl be have to bay a lot to get in. 5 would be fine. out of the parks we have been to Story land was free, Santa's Village was 12, and Canobie 21( she rode only 3 rides all day).

    Six Flags is a money machine. All they want is your money and will do anything to have it. I know they jsut got out of bankruptcy but still, I think that lowering the price would be reasonable. The sad part about this is, so many people complain about the prices, but then they ive in and buy it anyway. It's the sick and twisted world of buisness.
