Capital improvement for 2001 will be strong but next big ride will be in 2002

Monday, 19 June 2000

A high-ranking official says next year's capital improvement will change the look of the park, but wouldn't say if it included a new ride. As reported by The Guide nearly a year and a half ago, this development might be the waterfront development.

It's almost a certainty that the Aquatic Stadium and former aquarium will be removed. Last year's rumored moves for Schwabinchen and Ocean Motion certainly support the redevelopment of this area. One slightly more "out there" rumor also has the park removing Coral Courtyard and the old convention center building.

Finally, notice the pretty iron fence that extends from Disaster Transport behind the aquarium and stadium (where right now no one will see it), and draw your own conclusions.

So what about 2002? The official would only say, "Remember how we followed up Magnum?"
