Could be downHow about a boardwalk type midway with 4 inexpensive flats and a family GCI. Like a wave swinger (jellyfish) farris wheel (sand dollar), octopus, tilt-a-whirl (clam shells) and a GCI.

TBH, I much prefer SWO’s entrance. It’s a bit classier.Would this by chance, bring with it also a reworking of the entrance of Seaworld Orlando? I wonder if this could allow them to change it, to further resemble that more closely to San Diego's park entrance style.
Honestly, Wing Coasters are quite chill and will balance out with Kraken & Manta
I hope it's like Fenix at Toverland
This I can get with over a wing coaster. A wave swinger, Huss Airboat, Zamperla Mini Discovery and another more kiddie flat would likely be what SW would actually add, since those have been added among the other 2 SW parks. I'd love another GCI in the area, even though there is White Lightning up the street. A boardwalk-themed area should literally be a no-brainer. It would even match the lighthouse at the entrance.How about a boardwalk type midway with 4 inexpensive flats and a family GCI.

Why not? It’s not as if Icebreaker is a bank-breaking investment.I don’t see it being a wing coaster, maybe a GCI wooden coaster
Well, one of the reasons I went with a ferris wheel is I was thinking of visuals from across the lagoon. Something like this.I would replace the tilt a whirl with a Zamperla discovery and the Ferris wheel with a drop tower if I was in charge, but I actually love this idea. The park needs more flats and family rides, this gives them that and then some.

I know PP gets a lot of flack, but that is because it's in a "Disney" park. I don't think, if done right, SW would have the same problem. I think something like this could up the ride count and provide a lot of kenetic energy and be beautiful at night. And using classic flats like a tilt-a-whirl, a Ferris wheel, a wave swinger, and octopus and then throw in a family woodie from GG or GCI (think Oscar's Wacky Taxi) wouldn't break the bank. Then the year after build the new flying coaster.
That was because Imagineering didn't stick the landing. It looked amazing from across the lagoon, but when you got inside the land...oof!In fairness the original PP was really barebones and ugly.

If SW just went with A "turn of the century" Luna Park or mid century Lakeside Park (Denver) look. It would be great. Luna Park was kind of Victorian with lots of popcorn lights. Lakeside Park is art deco with lots of neon. Either way, the key is lots of swirling lights. I would call the area "Lakeside Boardwalk".
Oh, and @Joe and @Mad Dog stay warm and safe this weekend. Looks like the 'burgh is getting some heavy weather today and tomorrow.

I like this a lot, get Wanda on board (they already did one in Port Aventura) and you have yourself a winnerI want a “Sesame Street: Beach Day” dark ride that has Sesames Street characters interacting with sea creatures.
I don't know about boring, but they are certainly the most relaxed model by B&MEh, not a fan of wing coasters, if it were launched, perhaps. Otherwise, they are the most boring model from B&M IMO. I don't hate them and they are very re-ridable, somewhat fun, I guess. I suppose they are "GP pleasers" so I'll obviously have to take what they give us if it happens. Personally, I think it would fit better at BGT, but that's me. I'd prefer they do something more like below.
Right. But there isn't one in any of the major parks. And most tourists don't go to Fun Spot or Old Town. I have to believe that SeaWorld could to them in a classy vintage way that wouldn't reek of mall parking lot carnival. It would also give them a place to move their carousel to since, right now, it's in no man's land off to the side of Sesame Street and Shamu Stadium.Maybe, but we already have a ton of Ferris wheels in Orlando. The rides are all very similar.
Like Kennywood did with their Luna Park type addition (Lost Kennywood) a couple decades ago....Weather's been really good most of this 'almost winter'. A couple inches tomorrow is no sweat, and even if we get some freezing rain, it's not a commuter day so it shouldn't be bad. Alene and I will just light up the fireplace, break out a bottle of wine, and watch the snow fall on the hills outside. Sometimes it's nice to get a little winter snow on a weekend. Now, when I was younger, I'd be getting the cross country skis out, but the knees won't cooperate anymore. :grin:That was because Imagineering didn't stick the landing.

A 4D coaster seems more of a Busch Gardens thing than SeaWorld. Not saying SW wouldn't do it. And it would definitely be an attendance driver. It would also push the boundaries for Orlando parks.Interesting note from Screamscape, they're hearing that this could possibly be B&M's first 4D coaster...
