I would like to see them take out the trims on Mean Strak and Mantis, they ruin the whole ride!!! I don't know, but does the cabin on the Space Spiral still turn? It wasn't spinning when I was there. Maybe some GIANT lockers (for all of those huge stuffed animals), more flat rides, re-theming to the DT area, do something with that whole Mantis thingy, somehow make Corkscrew smoother and better, and speed up the lift on Iron Dragon. There are probably a million other things, but that's all that comes 2 mind!!
The trims will not be leaving Mantis or Mean Streak, so don't hold your breath. Last time I was there, Space Spiral was operating normally, sans air conditioning.
Iron Dragon's lift... I've heard so many people talk about this, complain that it 'always feels like it's going to break down when you get to the top of the lift' and random nonsense like that. I wish I could sit down and explain the incredibly difficult dynamics of a dual lift. The first lift is that slow on purpose. A computer controls the speed of the first lift, slowing it down (sometimes, down to a near crawl) until the train currently on the circuit ahead of it has cleared the second lift. Next time you're on ID, take a look down to your right at the second lift, once that train clears the lift, you'll speed up.
...end of rant...

There was the same effect with Mantis these past 2 years because of the construction of MF.
With a new extreme coaster in that area, there will be people willing to ride it, and others not so willing...or not tall enough. This will cause a rise in attendence to the not-so-extreme rides in that area...Especially the non-riders that don't just want to sit there and do nothing. So if they want more satisfied guests, they should spruce up several rides in that area...there may have been some of this going on to Ocean Motion a few months ago...

There will be increased traffic in the Wicked Twister area. They really need to put some money into that area. DT needs an outside paint job bad. You can see the orignal Avalanche Run paint coming through on some of the supports. Plus all the things DT needs to make it cool again.
Some of the general buildings in that area need painting bad. I hope they do it.
When they put in MF they cleaned up the whole area. It all looked great. I really hope they do the same.

For any people surfing in and haven't made it to the point yet remember to try buy food that has a really nice smell to it while your in line to try and block out the nasty water like substance around the queue.
