I can see a bankruptcy alright if M.A. keeps going with these small rides! | MA will not go bankrupt, they bring in a lot of people every day and its packed most of the summer.

| | | They would bring MORE people into the park if they added a new coaster from time to time. Besides, if they draw such a crowd, what excuse is there not to build a new roller coaster??? |

| | | Once again, MIAdv goes a season without a new major coaster, too bad, but time will tell. I'm a bit disappointed, but at least the park is getting something. A great park isn't built overnight, and I'm not going to question CF's investment priorities, however, if nothing major appears by 2008 I will be concerned. Timbers is more than enough to convince me to drive 200 miles, though, that will not cut it for most of the GP.

| | | I dont know why some people are complaining about the name.
Grand means big, large, great, etc...
It's really a good name, and different than all the other rapid rides that use the same old ____________Canyon.
Plus, it could be good publicity. Maybe they'll do something like all people from Grand Rapids, MI get in for half price, with proof of course.

| | | Personally, I like the name. I think it's a rather creative pun off of a local city. Certainly a heck of a lot better than the standard names you see on these, and I like that there's a little more to the name than just some random thing pulled out of the air.
Sounds like it's going to be a great fit in the park to.

| | | I personally don't really like the name. I live about an hour south of Grand Rapids, and I don't think of it as a name for a Rapids ride. When I first heard it on screamscape, I thought that Michigan's Adventure wouldn't do that, but I was wrong.
If its another hot summer (like last year) then this ride will be pretty successful, I think its going in right by the water park. |

| | | It will be close to the water park. It will be the last attraction along the midway where Adventure Falls, Ripcord, Hydroflume, and the Swan Boats are located.

| | | I hope they add another ride there, then they could connect the path all the way around the lake. |

| | Somewhat, but not entirely. Take a trip up to the park and go in the front office and ask, they'll tell you all they're telling the public right now.
I was up at the park Friday, took some pictures of offseason activites. Can't see much construction (check out the official site for some actual construction pictures) but did get to see some of the parts in the employee lot (Gate A). Check them out: http://gallery.mirollercoast.com/11042005/

| | | Nice pictures. It must be nice to have all those carny rides that are built to come apart so easily. Makes for an easy offseason prep. As for the remarks about them not getting a new coaster, I think that six coasters is more than enough for a park that size. They need to put in a variety of other attractions before they start adding more coasters. I think that this new investment is a great move. They are putting in something that the park needs. I am as much a coaster lover as anyone, but I also believe there has to be a balance, and I love good flats or other attractions. Shivering Timbers is a phenominal ride, and I think the park needs to catch up to it before they go further in the coaster department.

| | | Cool. Nice to see they are giving some sort of updates. I am really surprised to see that the rafts are already there.
