Anyway, back on the IIRTP topic, I was thinking about how I would’ve done the last 10 years at the park:

2011- Timbertown retheming, along with a new ride
2012- Alpine Freefalls
2013- Screamin’ Eagles, Blizzard and Marshall’s Stampede (marketed as all three, not just the scooters)
2014- SpaceWorld (retheming of area around Comet), featuring Extreme Supernova & small scale dark ride
2015- Hurricane Harbor (retheming of Splashwater Kingdom), feature Bucket Blasters and Bonzai Pipelines)
2016- Funtime Starflyer
2017- Hot Rod USA (retheming around Thunder Alley), featuring Greezed Lightnin’ and Jailhouse Rock (relocated Cannonball Express)
2018- Premier Sky Rocket II
2019- Chance Freestyle (recovering from Sky Rocket II)
2020- Proslide Water Coaster OR Adirondack Outlaw

Personally not a fan of the starflyers. They are tall but really don't offer much.  capacity is not great takes forever to load and unload.

At TGE is even more pointless. Unless it's near Sasquatch it can't be that tall even at 220 ft like Sasquatch. you'd be spinning at around 170-180ft.  Anywhere else the making height would need to be at a lower height. A traditional observation tower wouldn't be open-air but would reach a higher observation height. it would also be ridable by a larger percentage of the park's visitors.

Don't get the point of retheming a 50's race theme to a maybe 50's race theme.

I was saying I’d retheme to Hot Rod USA like the park did, in this version that area wouldn’t exist under the 50’s theme at all until Greezed Lightnin’ comes in.
