You a dictator? Ha, you would give in too quick.

The first thing I thought of when I heard of the tree removals was for more parking.(Which most likely is the reason.)

Where exactly are these trees? If they are by the lake, how could they make more parking over there?

Hey, and I thought I was bad with double posting. Even though I'm a lot better now.
I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.

That is the first time I have double posted. When you double post, you have different comments on each post. My computer froze and I kept hitting submit and it worked too many times.

Why am I explaining myself? :)

DO YOU READ?! :evil:
Look, I'm sorry to snap at you, sfgamer, for, i think, the 27th time in this topic (too many commas!) but why would they move the Go-Karts and take out a "Major Attraction" if they weren't going to put it right next to the park?...Okay, maybe they could add parking where Winner's circle is? Possible, but I doubt it because they would only gain 20 feet of parking space. :?

And I agree with the posts above me saying that they are taking our the trees, sfgamer so dramically informed us upon :roll: , for more parking because this huge new addition will most probably take out parking room.

They were taking out trees both in the back parking lot and over by the retention pond by SUF.

Which could also be a new drop off zone if they want to do that. They have many possibilities.

Yeah you never know what they will do. I think the smartest idea is a new drop off zone in a new area.

Well I don't think they should be putting the water park where the drop off zone is because I like to look at superman when I drive by there.

But Ron/Wolf, who is friends with Larry Wine told us that they would be moving them! Ron has never told us anything that didn't end up happening.

SfGamer, we mean that they could be moving the drop-off zone for more parking closer to the park.

If all the light posts and trees in the back parking lot are removed that means they arn't just doing that for fun, they could have it back there. I wen't there today with rcman and me noticed that there is a hudge hole in the ground with like 20 trucks in the second parking lot and light posts and trees gone. I didn't notice the big hole until the end of the day and it was night so u can't see anything if I would have taken a picture of it.

I was there today and I think its safe to say hat we were all wrong about the water park being by bull. Half of the lights in the parking lot were removed, there are numerous cranes, tree stuns piled high, and they ripped up the parking. Theres now a hole that looks to be about 10 feet deep. I cant swear on that because i only got close to that parking lot at night, but I think its afe to say.

I think its going to be back there on the far left side of the back lot, and Im glad. People wil still park in the back lot to get close to the park, and there will be more parking by the buss lot. If they do remove the gocarts, it wont be to put slides in. Chances are they're putting to lost parking there.

About the washington entrance, I think its a possiblity they reopen it as a side entrance for everything, but i doubt they will force everyone going to the waterpark to take the side entrance. I think it'll be to crazy trying to get everyone to turn their cars around and take the back way around the park to get to washington. They are almost done expanding that intersection on washington street, but grand and the road you turn right on whos name i cant remember are only one lane.

Where was this big hole, was it in the middle, towards the front, the back, on the left side, or on the right side?

The big thing I see bad about putting a waterpark back there is that it is not really accessible to the regular park people. I would think that SF would rather have the two parks close to each other, so a person can go from one to the other very easily.

Also, what type of trucks are these (bulldozers/ "construction" trucks or semis)?

They were small bulldozers. Nothng big yet. I looked from the sky trek over to the maintenence area to see if there were any trucks or slides near the hill and there was nothing there yet. The whole was in the middle. If you look at chilin's first link, you can see where trees and lights were ripped out. The hole and main construction isnt visible in that pic, but about 50 yards to the right of that shot were huge mounds of dirt, trees, and a giant hole where black top used to be.

OH! BTW, I would also like to add that they are allready beginning to set up fright fest props. Besides a few red filters here and there, the only big change was the hometown station. Theres some new tombstones over there.

Well it would make sense that it would be an extra fee if it's that far away from the park. What proof will you have that you paid for park admittence other than your ticket stub or a handstamp (hmm, think that might wash off in water?)
