Planning the year ahead

For someone who lives near a Cedar Fair Park it would be cool to see some reviews of some of their other parks (the ones not listed in the top 20), or possibly the parks in Branson (Silver Dollar City & Celebration City).

Otherwise, Hard Rock, Aquatica, and Simpson's are things I would like to read about. Also, doesn't Jungala open at BGT this year?

I would like to see you cover the new Evil Kneivel Coaster at Six Flags St. Louis this spring.

Ben, I won't be there until 2 weeks after it opens but I would be willing to submit a review provided no one beats me too it.

I think it would be interesting to do an in-depth look at parks and attractions that have been around for a while. Maybe a Monthly report from someone on the countries of the WS. Take a whole article exploring all the little things about each country. Just a thought.

If anyone could get me hooked up on the Press day, I could go cover it for TPI.

Six Flags parks typically don't send press invites to TPI, but if someone has a contact at SFStL (e-mail or phone), I'd be happy to request one.

We'll look for you at the Hard Rock opening...

I'd love a review of atleast one of the Dark Knight coasters at six flags. And if someone would, I'd love to see a review of Behemoth!

Although a lesser-known park, it will be interesting to see how Herschend Family Entertainment - the new owners of Wild Adventures (Valdosta, GA)'make-over' that park with all their planned capital investment.

I would love to see a new section added that compares the same rides at different parks. ie. comparing say Space Mountain at all the Disney parks around the world :)

I would like to see some articles on international parks. I don't know if I will ever get to go, but at least I would like to see what I am missing. Another article would be a walking tour of the park. Someone taking you step by step through the park.

More articles on Parks within the Asia - Pacific region big and small and what they offer that makes them different from the major players in the U.S.A. to attract their patrons other than visiting the U.S. parks

Threads to review articles once a user has added a comment/s and notifications to view further comments from other readers when added.

i heard on the news last night that they are planning and have the financing for an amusment park over 1000acres here in Williams Arizona to begin building this year. They mentioned Disney. Can you find out who it is and what kind of park ( disney six flags or what) it will be? They mentioned many hotels going up etc... I think they may ruin the landscape of Northern Arizona yet I would love something to do besides see a huge hole in the earth :). ( Grand Canyon). Thanks.

Just to clarify, I hope that all TPI readers will submit reviews of new attractions when they open near them, through the attraction listing pages, discussion board and/or Blog Flume.

What I'm talking about here are opportunities for me to come in and do more in-depth reporting (hey, I am a pro journalist!), talking with the people behind the scenes, as well as reviewing major new attractions.

I am somewhat limited by budget (unless traffic to the site increases, oh, by double or more....), so trips abroad are out of the question for the moment, although, as I said, I welcome writers submitting reports that they do about their local parks.

As for the Williams thing, long-time TPI readers might recall why I have no desire to go back to that town anytime soon. ;-) Disney's not at all involved with that project, which, like many local theme park proposals, strikes me as underfunded to make a significant industry impact. That said, if it happens, it could be a cool little local park.

Water parks besides the Disney parks. Those have been well covered. Are there other high quality water parks out there or is Disney so far above the rest that they're not worth reporting on?
