What do you want to happen at SFGAm
pretty sure double.
I like to see happen at SFGA is single rider line install at some of the coasters So, Full trains going out of the station and get better G-Forces on the rides.
Also, It would be quicker to enjoy all of rides at SFGA! Maybe get a wristband at GR, Like the ones that verify your height for children! It would tell that the grouper that you are a single rider and place you in the row needed. I known that SFMM have try it before for a couple of years now  Party all Night, Sleep all DAY!!!
Haha! I agree with your single rider lines of course! But the comment that you would get better G-Forces on rides is hilarious...I can see the conversation now...... manager 1: "I think we should have single rider lines!" manager 2:"Me too! Why though?" manager 1:"MORE G FORCESSSS!" manager 2:"What about better capacity or more satisfied guests?" manager 1:"No who cares about that? We should just have more mass on the trains so we get more gravitational forces when we hit those tight turns and all the blood rushes out of our heads!" manager 2: "AWESOME!" Sorry just that made me laugh! 
It kind of falls into the What do you want to happen at SFGA category.

I think a single riders line would be neat. Cedar Fair has capatalized on that.
It'd be different....

But it would fill up the train instead of having lots of open seats.
I like to jump like this!!!
but wouldnt they have enough room in the SWF site to put a thrill ride
 "The rides are GREAT, The shows are GREAT, the fun is GREAT. At Marriott"s GREAT AMERICA!"
Of course they would but completely different subject. lol

there are single rider lines @ SFFT
Single riders line could only work with certain things there. First all rides will require a grouper and directing people to rows, rather than choosing rows. Also, there will need to be a second line in these coasters for single riders, or split the line in half. This can be challenging at some attractions as BTR's tunnel is already tight and splitting it would remove both the Flashpass entrance and the front row line.

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
Demon's line isn't tight at all. There's 2 empty lanes for god's sake. lol

After the incident with my earlier post, I have revised and shortened it to 20 things and I will explain my reasoning with each one
 
1: Add an S&S 40 Passenger Screaming Swings to Where SSA is By having this in the front of the park attracts people into the park and adds a major attraction in an almost dead area. 2: Add a Sally Interactive Dark Ride with an Old West Theme to where Trailblazer was This adds a new family attraction to an area where all they have to do is remove the arcade and build underground a little 3: Add a GCI Wooden Twister Like Troy at Toverland in Yukon Territory This adds a signiture attraction to Yukon Territory 4: With Dark Knight, Remove Ragin Cajun and add a Fahrenheit Like Coaster around Roaring Rapids and Picnic Grove With the Dark Knight Being added Ragin Cajun is now useless and Fahrenheit is a cool coaster 5: Remove King Chaos or make it flip 7x Minimum and Splash Water I don't think I even have to explain this one 6: Add a Deluge like Waterslide behind Pink Flamingo Café In an earlier post I suggested Calling It "Tony Hawks Typhoon" to give the park a Tony Hawk ride that Shapiro loves 7: Add an Intamin Coaster Wheel FOr anyone who said that this ride is barely tested has not been to Disney's California Adventure and seen this 144 capacity ferris wheel 8: Extend Hurricane Harbors hours to 8pm For a selfish reason I would like this because my parents usually don't get home till 6pm and Cedar Point's Soak City can stay open till 9pm and if lights are the problem, then add lights. 9: Offer a time in May or September where if you donate a toy worth at least $25 you pay only 20 Dollars for admission This encourages people to visit the park when they wouldn't be able to afford it and makes them want to get season passes. Also they get higher attendance, more money, and can donate all the toys to a charity for a tax deduction 10: Offer a laser show in June and August Less Sound, same excitement, less cost 11: Offer Single Rider Lines Guarentee to send out full trains and if you think this is a bad idea, then you haven't been to Walt Disney World 12: Add solar panels on top of Every Building in the park I know it costs a lot but they save money in the long run and I remember FParker185 saying that Europa Park does this. They make their own electricity, get a tax deduction, help the environment, and also they can keep it on the entire year to save electricity for the season 13: Do Online Surveys for new ideas and additions (Paramount and Herschend did/ do this) That way they know what would be a good idea or a bad idea 14: Offer a Late Gate Admission How is this a bad idea for cash strapped families 15: Rehab East River Crawler My friend says that this ride is Rust covered, barely spins, and sounds like it could just crash, so a rehab would be a good idea. They did it for Loggers Run, Triple Play, Condor, and probably more in the last 5 years 16: Replace the Trains on Demon with new Lap Bar Trains My mom would love this idea in addition to shorter people who bang their heads on the restraints and if you think this is a bad idea then explain Mr. Freeze, Laser, Joker's Jinx, Sooperdooperlooper, and all the others. 17: Add Intamin Trains to American Eagle and increase the banking of the helix to about 45 degrees Less Lateral forces on this area and the ride would require less maintenance every year as a result of this 18: Add new B&M trains to Iron Wolf Currently it Uses Intamin Trains and is a B&M Coaster so I don't see how Impossible this is 19: Make the Entrance to Hurricane Harbor In Carousel Plaza instead of Southwest Territory It would allow easier accessibility and they could revamp that area with games, and food vendors. 20: Turn the Pictorium into a 3D/4D Simulator More expensive, but it will pay off over time as IMAX equipment is getting outdated and expensive while as Simulator Technology is new and less-expensive.
My top 10 are:
10: Expand Hurricane Harbor 9: Play old marriotts music in carousel plaza 8: rehab east river crwler (Goes along with # 15 of coasterboy's) 7: Bring back more Yankee Harbor theming 6: Southwest Territory old mine themed boat dark ride 5: Rip out cartoon network and put in a compact woodie 4: Coney Island Wonder-wheel style ferris wheel in Vu's spot 3: Have a discount day for 1 day that shows lower attendance 2: Bring back all of Demon's theming, (Maybe more) fill the river rocker pool, and have plaques honoring all past rides 1: Reduce or remove brakes on AE and bank the helix more.

^ and ^^
East River Crawler was rehabbed in 2003 and is still in good condition. There is no reason to rehab it at this time.
Then make it spin more. That thing is the biggest waste of time to ride sometimes.

If you can't get ERC to spin, you don't know how to ride it.
^^ ERC spins plenty enough. Besides, the best part of ERC is the airtime. If you want extreme spinning, go on Revolution or Fiddler's Fling.
Outiside of German Fairs, ERC is easily one of the best examples of a Monster around. Both operationally and cosmetically. Hell it even gives most Polyps a run for their money.

i dont think i have ever been on ERC
I've ridden it every possible way thinkable. I just don't find it fun going up and down in a car that barely spins. Fiddler's fling is much more enjoyable. Maybe A Great Day Is Just What You Need This Year

well they werent really spinning much, but if you side sideways in the seat you're more likely to get some awesome spins. However, make sure to keep your feet on the floor and legs under the lapbar at all times while doing this.
And sometimes you just dont spin much, there is an element of luck involved. Fun ride reguardless. Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder

^I've tried that. Didn't work.

^ to make ERC spin fast is easy. Ride it solo. Sit in middle of seat. When ride starts moving SLOWLY rock your body left and right. Do a one Mississippi 2 Mississippi type count. By the time you hit 4 or 5 you will be flying!
Back on topic now.... I really hope they improve food services this year. Last year lines where all long and food was always cold. For the price you pay it must should be better.
