Other Parks / Cedar Fair/ WOF

« on: June 22, 2011, 09:48:07 PM »

I read this somewhere else and thought I'd post the link here.  Sounds like a win/win for Cedar Fair and maybe Worlds of Fun.   Anyone have any other information.

Branson Talk / Half price tickets

« on: July 09, 2010, 08:06:17 AM »

It seems every where I turn all I see are ticket outlets, ticket booths, etc.  How does this work?  Are these outlets all associated with a timeshare visits?  Does it help or hurt a theater by purchasing tickets at one of these booths?  Has anyone used these and do they have a favorite?  Or should I avoid them like I have?  Thanks?

General Silver Dollar City Talk / SDC Railroad

« on: November 06, 2008, 08:14:38 PM »

With the talk of a new area being developed near the site of the current train robbery, it has been mentioned that the railroad would be more of a transportation system then a "ride".  How many locomotives and sets of cars are there.  As a transportation system, would there be a demand or need for more frequent arrivals and departures per hour? Is it possible to have more than one train on the line at a time.  As a transportation system, and not a "ride", would there be a need for a more enclosed weather proof cars?   Any talk of upgrading the trains with larger locomotives?  Maybe steam engines with a more typical wheel arrangement and a tender?   If CC is redeveloped, I'd vote for a train, but make sure it would be something similar in size to SDC or larger. Some parks have the smaller trains seen a zoo's or local parks, just don't seem like a major amusement park train.   Any thoughts?
