    We don't know the theme yet.
     
    Highest rollercoaster themed to Bear Grylls or something stupid.

    Depends again on the options.
     
    Closest airport is Baden Baden. Further afield Basel or Stuttgart.
     
    I've not gotten the train to the park but they recently announced a fast train to nearby Ringsheim. Alternatively hire car or lots of changes or expensive taxi.

    Sounds like every annoying person who plays the "I know something you don't know" card for Internet points.

    Stayed on site and the hotels are of good quality. Actually pay for what you get (though it is annoying that you have to add tickets on top of it as well). They are popular too but might be that the cheaper one (El Anduluz) is sold out.
     
    Depends what you're after end of day. But as mentioned there are lots of b&bs around.

    There's so much of the park you could bin.
     
    Depth Charge, Beach, Storm Surge, X:/TWD, DBGT for starters opens up a MASSIVE chunk of area. Especially if you include Slammer as well.
     
    Making the entrance actually appealing should be their next step. Every time I see pics of it it looks awful. This in turn would work with demolishing Depth Charge and the beach and making a big plaza area with stage and food options. Bit like the temporary stuff at Towers recently. 
     
    Then get a good dark ride and high throughput water ride that's actually good.
     
    Oh, and a Top Spin. Preferably indoors.

    This can also be filed under "posts that could be from 10 years ago".
     
    Single rider on Inferno in mid 2000s was fantastic fare.

    Just pick a page in the Zamperla catalogue like every other park does.
     
    An Air Race instead of Zodiac is the first idea that comes to mind.
     
    Doesn't help that the best flat ride has been demolished.

    For sure, just a lot is showing its age atm. And when you've got a big new project and no additional support rides coming in to help the crowds in the area.
     
    Just seems there's too much obsession with roller coasters. Dark Rides would also help but after DBGT........
     
    Also looks like someone forgot to lock the door after we briefly got rid.
