Gonna post something to get off my chest. After seeing WDW adding all of their coasters on the other coast and the Asian parks getting a new coaster (Spiderman, Space Mountain 2.0) I think it's fair to ask: When will DLR finally add a new coaster?
I mean, come on. DLR hasn't had a new coaster since DCA opened....months before 9/11 happened. I'm not counting the Space Mountain rebuild. I'm thankful that DCA is getting all these rides, but I think DLR is long....and I mean long overdue for a new coaster (Or two!)
"But Freak, they don't have the space!" Listen, DCA is adding three E-ticket rides without replacing anything except one outdated dark ride. They have more space than you think, they just gotta be a little creative. For starters they can close that freaking awful Web Slingers ride. They can have track go over the Avengers Campus. While that might be quite enough space, they can tear down the Disney Jr theater and use that space for the Spiderman plot for a new coaster.
Also Galaxy's Edge. If they're willing to tear down that warehouse behind Smuggler's Run, they can use that space and the space behind Olga's for a very large coaster. If they can't use that warehouse space, they still have just enough space for something like Tokyo's Space Mountain they're building. It's only just a hair bigger square footage-wise than the original! If they really wanted to get creative to maximize the space, they could always cut out one carousel in Smuggler's Run to make room. It would reduce capacity slightly, but I doubt people would miss it.
Another idea they could do is have DLR's version of Villain's Kingdom. They could have the land take up the FL theater and go behind GE and give us that Malefecant coaster!
I could go on and this post is getting too long already, but my point is DLR really needs a new coaster and I hope that take priority once the DCA projects are well established. I'm hoping Disney will pay attention to F&F's inevitable success at USH.
