Since the major addition of SheiKra, the USA's first dive machine coaster, debut park attendance has increased greatly just like the park had planned. Do you think that BGT's going in the right direction for a brighter future? Also, what ideas do ya'll have for BGT that could be great for its future journey? If BGT bought some more land, I'd love for them to add a new themed area like an Australian theme that'd be the place for the unique & miraculous animals (ex. Tasmanian Devils, Koalas, & Platypus) residing there.I think that they've got a great coaster collection already, so I'd move on to their flat rides. I'd try to place a S&S drop tower somewhere in the Egpyt section b/f you come across Montu. The ride could be shot out of a pyramid or so'em. A top spin in the Congo section would also be nice as it could be themed in the jungle with an African animal releasing its rage of fury towards the riders by flipping them around mercilessly & ferociously. Finally, I'd like to see an enterprise type ride in the Nairobi section to compliment the slightly tamer rides with the exception of Scorpion. BGT should get rid of Python, by all means necessary, within the next 5 years b/c Python just doesn't attract anybody anymore b/c of better coasters & its overall roughness.
By the way, since everyone here's getting tired of my Favorite, Best, Worst, etc. type of threads (ex. Cyclonic), I'll try to be more creative & expand my mind in terms of creating more threads that'll contain long conversations, starting with this one. I know that all of those previous threads might've been pointless, but they were all opinionated & I just wanted to get a feel of what type of person ya'll are with your opinions. Besides, doesn't this section say, "Feel free to ask any questions related to Theme Parks or Coasters" anyway? That's all I've been doing, but yet there seems to be a penalty for that too. I was just trying to bring TPC back to life for its future b/c I said I promised to do whatever I can to do it.

They really don't "need" to do anything major for another 5 years to stay successful. Adding major rides every year is fiscally irresponsible. However, I do like your flat ride ideas.
Maybe they can buy one to the Paramount Parks and retheme it as Asia to include Australia. A don't see them incorporating Australia into BGT.

I agree with everything larry said. While I don't usually ride a lot of flats, BGT could use some more, and although I don't love towers either, they could use one of those too. I also think it would be an interesting idea for them to buy a Paramount park and make it into an Asian themed park. PGA would be my top choice to see changed around, but that is on the opposite side of the country from the other two BG parks. If it were to be on the East Coast, I would rather see PKD change hands than PC.

I like BGT, I do like the idea of adding some flat rides. I would put a ride in like MaXair at CP. IF they buy a Paramount park I hope it is PKI so I can go there every year.

I doubt it. Keep in mind they have been triming htere own chain over the last 20 years. So I don't see them growing again unless it's a park in another country. Can you say Busch Gardins North America as the new Park in Europ.
Any ways I Havn't been to the park but thing I think might help. I know Tampa is a bit of a drive from the normal park atractions. Though I can easly assume they have hotels in the area they may want to Build there own. perhaps a camp ground as well. make it easy to go and stay BGT. I like the idea of another area But Austrailia is technicaly not part of africa. Do they have a rainforist area?
