I love how there is clips of Busch gardens williamsburg and carowinds bc those are my 2 fav amusement parks and the ones i go 2 the most

[@lyndonsmith7772]

I'd take a really well themed log flume over a Mach power splash. More importantly they HAVE to RMC hurler. That would smash the park up so many people's rankings.

[@TheCoasterJosh]

Oh I would totally agree! A well themed log flume would be amazing, but I really don't know how much theming they would add. CF has been doing much better with the theming, so maybe it could happen. Also RMCing Hurler needs to happen.

Don’t hate on raft rides too much. I worked Mystic River Falls at Silver Dollar City for a brief period. Honestly the most fun job I’ve ever had. And that is a great example of a raft ride done well.

[@TheCoasterJosh]

That’s really cool you worked mystic river falls, it certainly looks fun. I actually quite like the raft rides, infinity falls at SWO is pretty fun, and the one at universal is always one of my faves. The one at Busch gardens Tampa one is kinda meh tho.

[@coasterfair2602]

I like the fact that they do surveys on what people would like though

[@TheCoasterJosh]

I really like this too.

[@jupiter_idv]

so aggravating. as carowinds being my homepark,, i’ve been wanting a rmc or dive coaster for years.

[@MosesJD86]

The river raft would be perfect. Especially if they go the modern route a la Infinity Falls. They already have a foundation with the old one by the pavilion that's been closed for years. Would add some much needed excitement in that area

[@AustinTarnawsky]

I think that the survey may have been used to deceive the public. From what I've heard, Carowinds has a major issue with snakes getting in the water of the previous two water rides. This is the reason, to my knowledge, why the log flume and river rapids rides were closed many years ago. However, I would also enjoy to see these rides come back to Carowinds.

[@dwhitman12341]

I took that survey yesterday, my rankings were the same as yours. I was really hoping a new coaster would've been an option.

[@TheCoasterJosh]

Same here a new coaster would’ve been awesome, but our rankings are solid for this water stuff.

[@alecscheerer_run]

What about a vekoma tilt coaster in place of Nighthawk? I'd ideally like to see one of those new Intamin vertical launch coasters too

[@TheCoasterJosh]

That would be so cool!!

[@maincoasters]

i’ve been thinking some kinda of water attraction 2024 , then a coaster in 2025!

[@TheCoasterJosh]

That would be very nice!

[@amusementvillage]

Yes! Waters rule!!!!

[@Cap-ku6ok]

Strange, I did not get that survey but one with various types future in park festivals. ***Ok now i understand. According to the Wonderland guy, their survey was limited to a certain age group, and the amount of times you visited the park. Basically they did not want to hear from enthusiast. Josh that likely explains why you got it. I'm older so they figured I might not be that interested in a water coaster and instead sent me the one with festivals.

[@chris_allupinya5613]

Flume over water coaster and rapids

[@TheCoasterJosh]

I almost did that ranking, for me it depends how much theming they add.

[@chris_allupinya5613]

@@TheCoasterJosh agree but with some proper theming like Knotts berry farm it would be awesome

[@maincoasters]

i never got the survey! even though im a season pass holder 😴

[@TheCoasterJosh]

I don’t even know why I got it lol, I’m not a pass holder.

[@maincoasters]

@@TheCoasterJosh did you visit this season?

[@TheCoasterJosh]

@@maincoasters no, my last visit was June of last year.

[@maincoasters]

@@TheCoasterJosh hmmmmm

[@coasterfair2602]

What other parks did this

[@TheCoasterJosh]

As far as I know only Canadas wonderland as of now

[@ralphwaggoner208]

KD sent one with shows/festivals, at least that's what I got.

[@TheCoasterJosh]

@@ralphwaggoner208 That's cool! Thanks for the info.
