It was such a big hit the first time, right?  ::)

Quote from: Swoosh on April 02, 2025, 04:02:35 PMCompletely speculative, but heard that corporate didn't "get" the old backwoodsy style of the park and thought it looked too run down. 


It isn't just a corporate thing unfortunately. I remember remarks from park guests when I worked there talking about how they won't enter a shop or a restaurant because it looked run down and unsafe. I remember hearing that about Wildfire and AP as well because of the looks of the stations and the lifthill of AP.

It's unfortunate, because I love the backwoodsy feel of the park as I'm sure everybody else here does. But I can see how corporate and the general public don't get it as well.

Yeah that does explain why every time the park adds or expands they seem to find it necessary to raze older parts of the park in the process.
