Eastern Great Lakes Region (Michigan & Ohio)

So, with Black Friday in the books and Cyber Monday just around the corner, I thought I'd create an imaginary sale for your home park. Which of the following specials would you take? Keep in mind you can only pick one.

1. A new top of the line thrill coaster.
2. A collection of five flat rides (a couple of them being more modern and thrill oriented)
3. A collection of three relocated coasters, they may not be the newest, but they are still fine, one of them being a family and the other two being more exciting.
4. Redo your front entrance and retheme one of the lands/areas.
5. Seriously upgrade the food in terms of quality and variety. Even add a new eating location. Food that rivals Dollywood or Silver Dollar City.

So which do you pick? Which one helps your home park the most?

For my home park, Kings Island, I'm going for #1. Next summer will be 6 years since Orion opened, so a new major coaster is overdue. That empty Vortex plot of land is screaming, "Coaster me!!"

I felt this response IN MY SOUL. That poor plot of land has been sitting there for far too long, and it makes me sad whenever I see it. 

I would also be fine with number 4, because then we'd have a state of the art entrance, probably with a coaster in front a la Gatekeeper or Fury. KI's entrance has needed an update for a bajillion years.

SO not fair! A few items are needed at CP.

I'll go with Relocated Coasters. Preservation is  what I consider to be the most important activity ACE supports. Let's not lose the good stuff!

However, bringing back the Flat Rides to CP would help families with kids have a great introduction to the park (and let the youngsters work their way up to thrill rides). Yes. CP dumped them due to low capacity but we'll wait for any ride.

And yet Food has gone downhill. Or off a cliff! Silver Dollar Cafe was so impressive . Now the CP is mediocre at best. And leasing out space to chain restaurants?  TTerrible! And they add on insult by leasing space to companies known for bigotry which is offensive to a marginalized community who are customers of CP. 

Good choices Mr. Reed but Preservation should be our number 1 priority.

#1 definitely!  I would love a new top of the line thrill attraction!
