All of those rides are low capacity knotts desperately need something with a high capacity. Personally I think a high capacity indoor heavily themed family thrill coaster would a good fit for the park. Don’t really know what manufacturers would be best for that. They just desperately need a people eater.

I’d say Intamin with an indoor MDC like Uncharted would be a great choice. Make it a Ghost Town expansion.

I'm still waiting for a Vekoma or Mack Mad House to show up in Ghost Town themed to the old Haunted Shack. It's family friendly, and doesn't take up much space. It could even take over the old Mystery Lodge space.

And it's really amazing to me that there aren't any Mad Houses on the West Coast (or even in the United States, for that matter), yet they're all over in Europe.

I’ve always had an armchair idea where they could make a Verbolten-style coaster to replace Pony Express. Have the ride go over the rapids and launch into a backstage show building and then back out over the rapids and the graveyard. They would have to move the backstage entrance further back to make it work but I think it would be doable for Knotts. Maybe Gerstlauer could work on it. Suck a coaster would be perfect for Knotts and fairly high capacity!

Another armchair idea: Put the stage back where it was in Ghost Town square! The Hanging isn’t there anymore during KSF so whatever show they have there during KSF and other events should be adequate for the crowds. In the place of where the stage is at now, bring back the haunted shack where it originally was but in the form of the Vekoma Madhouse. There is more than enough space to pull it off there and it would be the perfect theme for it!

It was but sadly it got replaced for “LEGO Space Mountain“. I hope they put it elsewhere but I’m not giving my hopes up.

So in a little bit of MonteZooma news, it sounds like we know who's finishing the project...somehow, it's still KumbaK. Well, if the rumors are true, KumbaK obviously didn't have much of an option here due to breaking contract. To avoid getting sued, they had to either finish the project...or pay Zamperla to finish it as they threw in a bid to do so.

What a mess. I guess that’s the outcome when you go with the lowest/inexperienced bidder. I wonder if in the end the park ended up spending more money with all the delays instead of going with a more reputable company from the start. That’s not even considering all the likely issues once the coaster starts testing/opens.

I wonder if Cedar Flags will learn their lesson from this and Top Thrill 2.

I was just at Cedar Point about a week ago for 1.5 days, and I do have to say, once they got over those initial problems with TT2 (which admittedly took an absurd amount of time), it's been running pretty reliably now. We only noticed it go down once the whole time, and even then it was up again quickly. Based on discord conversations of people in the area, it's had a lot better up time.

Even just watching the back spike, it's amazing how consistent it is... those trains go up to the same height nearly every single time.
