| | | The park may be able to expand a little bit too though. I don't think that it will get anything that great, probably the waterslide.

| | | i really dont see how the waterpark can get much bigger unless they move T2 and the wheel and stuff. do you think they could just take all of the waterpark out and make that the park?

That really is a joke of a water park, with no space to expand. Too bad it probably helps them out 'cause it is the only water park in that part of Kentucky. As I've said before, whoever designed this park so that a service road splits it in two, and then decided to stick a water park in the middle of the largest section should be forced to break the continuous coaster marathon record on T2.

Point made? lol. Just thought I would bring that to attention.

| | | Yeah, you have a decent point made with the number of coasters SFNE has, but how many coasters the park had when they bought it isn't there fault. As far as what Six Flags has actually given to the parks? I'd take a B&M Floorless before Twisted Twins, an Intamin Mega Coaster before a Schwartzkopf hand-me-down shuttle (not to take anything away from it though), and I would gladly have Vampire back instead of Roadrunner.

One year, the fair just stayed there, became permanent. Later Six Flags bought the park, a lot more land, and later expanded to make it what it is now. The water park, well, it looks like a very bad idea. I've never been to the park, but is there any land around the park that could be used?

I wish the park would replace some of there less popular rides. Just about everybody would like to see T2 receive the blow torch. I personally wish that in the not-too-distant future , they would tear out Twisted Twins. There's not really anything wrong with the ride itself. Its so unpopular though, that they rarely have both coasters open, and rarely is there ever even a line. For how unpopular and thrill-lacking this ride is, It's wasting a huge plot of land that I can see much more useful things going into.
If SFKK wants to expand though, I think they are going to have to start looking at parks like Blackpool and how they've expanded by stacking and intertwining rides.

The Kentucky State Fair operates every summer, but it didn't just "stay after one year". It opened adjacent to the fair and expo center, but it was an entity of it's own seperate from the fair. It opened well before the Kentucky State Fair in 1987, but stuggled and closed until 1989. Then, Ed Hart came along and helped guide the park until the 1998 Six Flags changeover. The waterpark was added in 1992, so it was there well before Six Flags took over. It had plenty of room, but Six Flags had expanded around it and left hardly any room to expand it. The majority of the expanded land was purchased well before Six Flags took it over. You have a lot of facts wrong.

| | | Was a twin ever needed? Usually they are reserved for large parks for capacity and can go down to one side if attendance/mamagement sees fit.

| | | It's not going to be anything major. It's a small park that is being neglected by Six Flags and will be continued to be neglected in the future. The park has one of the weirdest locations of any park I have seen. When they something "big", for them, it willl be big. If this was a bigger SF park, it would just be a new attraction. Since they're a smaller park, this is a big deal. It's all relative. Whenever a small park says they're getting "huge new ride" or "big new attraction", it almost never actually is.

| | | I heard something that I by no means am taking as the honest truth, but it would make sense for them to make a considerable change to the water park with such steep competition from PKI and HW. Just a thought.
