I think ERT of the coasters on the right side of the park (Maybe Raging Bull to Maxx Force) would be really cool and close enough to do. Maybe even host it near the end of the year to make new ride announcements that day like Over Georgia and Fiesta Texas do? Just a cool thought and I'm interested to hear what you guys would want!

The logo is honestly stunning. Photoshopping and whatnot is amazing, and I like how you incorporated the original logo and such. Have you considered working as an advertising manager?

With Wrath of Rakshasa coming to County Fair, it's time to make "the Alien" mentioned in the Demon queue audio a reality. It was probably planned for the Great Southwest. I could see a Zamperla Nebulaz working.

It's been 44 years, and guests are probably like "WTF is the Alien??" when that part comes on.

Yeah, I hate to say it but nobody actually cares about the music but us SFGAm nerds. I agree with a NebulaZ working, probably right next to Rak since I feel that an Alien-themed ride would be out of place in Southwest Territory.

But didn't the Demon audio say slime landed in New Mexico in 1923 after an intergalactic battle?? Roswell, New Mexico dammit! (Us SFGAm nerds believe the park should be restored to its former glory at least a BIT.)

"The alien" in the Demon story is a reference to Ridley Scott's "Alien", which was a summer blockbuster the year before the ride opened.

"It was approximately 9 p.m., on a cool, misty Thursday night,
when the Demon oozed and slithered into this amusement park.
No one saw him at the time, because he was apparently very small.
Something about the size of the alien... you do remember the alien?"
Somewhere in Florida a village is missing its idiot. He can be found in Washington D.C.

OOOOOOHHHHHHH. They should've been more clear with that; I thought it was a ride that never opened or something.

Great, now I'm simping for John Hurt as Kane again.

Sorry for necroposting, but I didn't know where else to mention that I'm hoping for the return of the Foghorn Leghorn animatronic that was previously in (what is now) Yukon BBQ for the 50th Anniversary. Probably wouldn't be that expensive for just one animatronic. I literally just learned about the existence of the animatronic through Great American Enthusiast on YT, and it immediately captured my interest.

Even better, maybe SF could convince some of the people with Looney Tunes Revue animatronics to let the park use them on the stage. There's probably not enough room for the whole band, but even a few animatronics would be nice.

I think that either of these additions would just make Yukon BBQ even better, and easily my favorite restaurant in the park if you factor in the food and the train above you.

My one wish for the upcoming kids area is bringing back some Looney Theming.

As for thrill rides, S&S Screamin' Swing is my dream.

Let's see a recap of my wishes since 2014

1/30/2014
Re-theme of Camp Cartoon into a Bugs Bunny themed area. Remove Wilderness Theater and expand it that way. (Rumored YES?)
Return of Glow in the Park Parade
Interactive Dark Ride (YES)
Season Passholder Entrance (YES)
Hurricane Harbor Extended Hours (At least back to 7pm)
Always Allow Adults on Up, Up and Away (YES)
Always have the waterfall before the tunnel on, on Roaring Rapids
Add a Proslide Hydro Magnetic Slide (YES)
Add a Giant Ferris Wheel like Pixar Pal A Round at DCA

6/23/2014
Repaint Batman Blue
Sally Interactive Dark Ride (Justice League Alien Invasion?) (YES)
Funtime Star Flyer
Removal of the Go Karts and New Kids Area Added
Raging Bull Backwards
Build Rides Above other rides rather then remove rides
Bring Back the County Fair Train Station (YES)
Retrack the Small Helixes before the station on Eagle (Or just replace it with a hill)
Move the entrance to Hurricane Harbor by where Space Shuttle America was (YES Kinda?)
Offer a Season Drinking Pass for Coke Freestyles (For awhile YES)
Add a Second Coke Freestyle (Maybe in Yukon Territory?)
Make the Single Rider line Separate from Goliath's Queue Line (You shouldn't have to wait in line just to wait in the single rider line.)
Soft Padded OTSR's on Demon

6/26/2014
I think they should just close the Eagle Entrance and expand the Superman entrance. All that extra land from the Eagle entrance to the parking lot could be used for Hurricane Harbor Expansion.

6/28/2014
My best 3 guesses:
1. Funtime 230ft+ Star Flyer. I would love to see it at Hurricane Harbor's entrance and the HH entrance relocated by the Pictorium. (Entrance YES)
2. Justice League Alien Invasion clone where the Pictorium is (Spiderman meets Men in Black) (Kinda YES)
3. Pictorium refurbished into a 4D/5D Simulator. I have no idea what 5D means but Kentucky Kingdom converted their simulator into a 5D simulator. Apparently it can't cost that much and will probably cost less overall then an IMAX theater.

9/4/2015
What I Want to see next year: (1 of the 3)
- Makeover of Camp Cartoon similar to Bugs Bunny Boomtown/ DC Superfriends using the Wilderness Theater area (TBD)
- Proslide Hydro Magnetic Waterslide like Mammoth or Wildebeest at Holiday World (YES kinda)
- Demon with Lap Bars Only
What will probably happen:
- Larson Looper or other Flat Ride(s) (YES kinda)

11/11/2015
- Makeover of Camp Cartoon similar to Bugs Bunny Boomtown/ DC Superfriends using the Wilderness Theater area (YES kinda)
- Proslide Hydro Magnetic Waterslide like Mammoth or Wildebeest at Holiday World (YES kinda)
- Demon with Lap Bars Only
- Removal Of Go Karts
- Funtime Star Flyer in the Former Sky Walk Area
- Orbit Replaced with the Enterprise G2
- WD-40 on King Chaos :wink:
- NC17 Rating for Fright Fest after 6pm
- At least 1 new haunted house each year (Magic Mountain this year got like 4 new haunted houses) (YES)
- Include Boneless Wings and Smoothies in the Dining Pass (Smoothies were for awhile)
- 3rd Coke Freestyle Location in County Fair
- Give the Food Employees 5-Hour Energy drinks (I shouldn't have to wait 70+ minutes for food)

6/8/2016
3 Wishes:
- Demon with new soft padded Vekoma Trains
- Proslide water coaster like Wildebeest at Holiday World (YES kinda)
- Camp Cartoon into Bugs Bunny Boomtown with a few new kid/family rides (TBD Kinda)

9/2/2016 (Wow I'm repetitive)
Also Camp Cartoon turned into DC Superfriends Land and Go Karts removed and turned into Bugs Bunny Boomtown. (TBD Kinda)
And Demon getting soft-vests like Blue Hawk

9/5/2016
2017- Funtime 200ft (Maybe Higher?) Star Flyer where Dare Devil Dive Is
Another Freestyle in Orleans Place
2018- Zamperla Giant Discovery replacing King Chaos (Kinda?)
2019- Proslide Rocket Slide in/around Viper (Kinda?)

10/29/2016
1. Proslide Hydro Magnetic Waterslide (YES)
2. Zamperla Giant Discovery (YES)
3. Funtime Star Flyer
4. Removal Of Go Karts for Bugs Bunny Boomtown
5. Soft Straps added to Demon
I would rather we get RMC to Topper Track the Helix's on Eagle than a new coaster.

Actually surprised I went almost 10 years without making any real wishlist comments on this thread

- 3rd Coke Freestyle Location in County Fair

9/5/2016
Another Freestyle in Orleans Place

I was wishing with the merger we would see the return of Coke Freestyles since a lot of the Cedar Fair parks have at least one. But it seems like they passed on that when they decided to put in 4 or 5 (including HH) refresh stations this year with just normal dispensers.

I'm really wishing for the Cedar Fair paper cup refill program to come to the park.

NGL freestyles taste bad, glad they didn't go through with this

^ it's all in the maintenance, which to be fair is a bit cumbersome, and that's probably why it fizzled out pretty fast at the park. I've definitely had a fair share of machines that taste awful, but they are not the majority.

They were still at California's Great America and are opening at Epic Universe so I don't believe Maintenance

^ maybe maintenance was not the right word. Upkeep would probably be better. They require lots of attention refilling various syrup cartridges and ice. Cedar Point has over 10, but they continue to upkeep their machines much better than SFGAm ever did. SFGAm probably got tired of them constantly needing attention quickly and fell behind
