Building an arcade is far from an excuse to plonk the Mini Mega on top of it, in-fact it is an ingenious solution to a problem a small park like Adventure Island has which is the lack of space. They are able to free up a large amount of space to provide an area for another major attraction without actually losing anything. Just because the arcade has never been full when you've visited does not mean it is never full or does not make any money for that matter. For them to build a new arcade the park clearly sees it as a worthwhile and profitable investment, they are a business and would not waste money on an arcade that is not going to earn its keep so to speak. Also, it seems to me that people are assuming that because the park is spending money on an arcade this is somehow going to mean less money spent on the next ride or that we will not get a new ride this year because of it? Which seems unreasonable as the park say on their own website that a "major announcement" is due later this year.I'm looking forward to how it turns out, I just hope the park puts a bit of effort into theming the new arcade.
