Sorry if there is already a thread on this, but if you could change one thing about a ride at CP, what would you change and what ride(s) would you change it on?
For me, i would love to see how Millennium Force would be with intamins winged seats similar to the seats on Skyrush at Hershey Park.
Skyrush restraints hurt. That's the only downfall of that ride, and even with that, it's my overall #1
Magnum station. The bottleneck in the front sucks. The pillars the ride ops are required to stand behind suck.
I would probably reroute Raptor's exit stairs, extend the station behind the current bins, and have 3 row shelves instead of bins that open and close for all 3 trains (kind of like Kings Island has with Beast) that would be located behind the yellow line, which would allow the ride ops to dispatch without worrying about people taking forever getting their loose articles (holy runon sentence). I would also love to see the trains move from the last set of block brakes to the station quicker, instead of that very slow crawl it does before parking in the station. I think that would help with capacity even though Raptor doesn't need too much help with that.
Also, if Skyhawk's ride cycle was longer, that would be awesome. However, I know that would make for a long wait time.
Take all the bins out of all the stations. You should not be allowed to carry anything on any ride. The only exception would be for glasses and flip-flops on a few rides. If you have to have all your "stuff" with you, then stay home!
^^People use the bins too much but I wouldn't want them taken out. Sometimes you just can't fit everything in a cargo pocket and fanny pack. I'm working on it, but sometimes it just doesn't happen.
Get rid of the idiot boxes; since there is no shuttle service or public transportation to the park, that means 99.9% of guests have a vehicle available in which to store their crap.
Honorable mentions: computerized breaking, air gates and superfluous seat beats.
Girl: "l want to ride that yellow one again... Twisted Wicker"
Me: "It's a roller coaster, not a broken clothes hamper."
I would increase capacity of Maverick. That line is the slowest in the park.

Another thing i would do is find a way to add more trees in the park. On a sunny hot summer day it really sucks when the only natural shade there is is the frontier trail. I visited Kings Dominion and Canadas Wonderland this summer and i love how much natural shade they have.

New trains for magnum. The current ones are just terrible in almost every way.
How so?

Amen. Get rid of all of them. Put your stuff in a locker. Someone please pass this on to the new park manager.

Well being 6'6", I can barley get my legs into the train. The lap bars rest on my knees basically and since the ride is so lackluster and uncomfortable, makes me really hate the trains even more.
I would rather see Magnum sink and be replaced with a GCI alongside the beach. I just don't see the appeal with Magnum I suppose...

^^^ Might i suggest that you sit in the front row of any car. Im 6'4" and when i sit in the front row of a car i have plenty if room and a comfortable ride.

Yeah, because I really want to go sprinting halfway across the park to my over priced locker when I suddenly need the bag with my family's rain ponchos in it. If you want to save time at the bins forbid people from wearing flip flops and stop selling the giant refillable cups. That's probably 90% of what's in the bins.
The souvenir cups will fit in my cargo pockets, but I have to take the lid off and put it in my other pocket. Assuming next seasons cups are the same size, they should. I like that cup on a hot day. As long as the bins are there I will use them. I put them in my pocket for MF, TTD and Gatekeeper because they are not allowed there. I'm both for and against the bins. I'd like to see them gone on Maverick because the line goes too slow and I think the removal of bins could drastically reduce wait time.
