Top 10 Rides

Does it have to be that big? Obviously that’s not gonna be like a future expansion area, but just curious.

Alright, I just didn’t know a ton about it and I was just curious.

The answer is yes and no. The one at TGE is fairly shallow. so it need to be bigger to hold all the water. If it were a bit more deep it could be smaller.


Later Version and especially those designed by Hopkins worked the ponds into the rides area more naturally.

I see. Regardless, I still think the ride needs work, and I’d be decently happy if they even did that as our new ride one year. Raging River is good but needs work, and Desperado has completely fell off. You go on that ride and you just go through a long strip of track with nothing to look at except TGE’s storage closet, not to mention the now motionless animatronics that have gone from a nice touch to downright terrifying. It’d be nice if they fixed at least one of them, and RR seems like a much easier option.

Not to mention ride experience but I’d like to see some theming too. If they added something to that little patch of grass in the line queue or something it’d be nice. Maybe a ship captain saying “turn back while you can” or something.

Down the road, they should axe CB and reroute DP through the left side of that pad, then back to the station. The current route sucks.

at one time I had suggested in one of those if I ran the park things about upgrading the ride. Convert it to a through station style used by the Hopkins rapids rides and have the station in that lower area before the lift. The station would cut into at least a third of that straight away. The turntable could be one of 2 things a ride area or themeing. I suggested a whirlpool effect.

I had also suggested conecting the ride to National Park. I know its a kiddie land but its the most direct access to that ride.

That’s true but it would cost them an absolute fortune to get that over the lake and into Timbertown.

Just the river and train tracks. but yes all that would be upwards a million dollars.

Yeah as much as it’s a cool idea I’d rather see the money go elsewhere.

Never said it was practical just a way to make the ride better with a real station and better queue.

Oh absolutely. The queue sucks, and it doesn’t need to be that way. They can build an exit that doesn’t have to take up half the platform. It just looks awkward.
