It could work with a deeply themed Rube Dugan fort in the trees.  I proposed it in another thread, but can't figure out where it is.  Rube has to hide in the trees from claim jumpers.  The whole tree house is huge with all sorts of gags and gimmicks - including all the things that make Adventure Mountain, only themed to the concept instead of just another ropes course.

Remember, AM is an extra charge beyond admission - I don't fancy paying to watch other people pay to play.

I like the idea of keeping Rube Dugan as a theme in that area. The treehouse concept is cool, too. Maybe it could be made to replace the Hideaway, and maybe bring back the "The Infinity Room."

I would have no qualms losing Geyser Gulch if its replacement was a whole new area featuring a Mystery Mine-type ride, a cool new treehouse/fort that rivals the Hideaway, and if dreams really do come true, a return of the Diving Bell.

Well could the Diving Bell be used to find underwater treasure or do underwater mining?

Ooo... great idea!

That's what the diving bell was always used for.

Then I guess it would fit in well with the new mining area theme and they should bring it back

I'll know most will disagree, and I've kept quiet for a long time, but I didn't think the Diving Bell was all that great.  It scared the heck out of me.  I really thought I was about to die.  Now I know as an adult it would probably be great fun, but I don't know if I could bring my children on this ride unless it was done differently.  Ok--go back to your dreams of reviving the Bell.

It scared you??? I thought it was so cool when I was a kid.  Just make sure you sit near the back otherwise you'd get wet.

You holding info back on us?  Has someone confirmed a new mining area, or are you just pontificating?

Yes, I was about four years old, I think, and I left the ride in hysterics.  My mom was desperately trying to calm me down.  I guess I was really in the moment, and the ride was that convincing--lol.

Hmmmm.  Anyone want to press him on this?

I asked to take pictures, tonight, since the whole area was closed off & covered in snow, and did a quick walk-thru with management, and they said Geyser Gulch was NOT leaving, only everything between it & Silver Lake, and Lost River is safe, as well.

[shavethewhales]

Ah, so does that mean the actual geyser is leaving? I actually forgot about that thing until now, but it used to be somewhat neat to watch. All the other stuff is pretty cluttery though, so it'll be nice to see the lake cleaned up. I think some kids will miss being able to shoot water cannons without getting drenched though. I hope they bring some more kid's activities back to the area eventually, even if they put in a G-fighter.

I think the mine theme is kind of assumed if this is a G-fighter. I mean, it's a good theme to hide a big ride behind.

For those of us who are wondering.... what is a g-fighter?
