I have no emotional connection with AP....I'd love them to repurpose that area and create a new water ride.

It’s really a lateral addition as it is replacing Highland Fling that was removed this season. This is basically the next Gen version of the enterprise.
As far as disappointment? I knew this was coming for awhile and as the sole new ride at MO parks next year, it’s better than nothing
As for the BBQ part - I would expect a BBQ contest - at least for one day - bring in a few trucks for a day and have both an official contest and a SDC customer contest - They would have to offer samples from each vendor (either with an overall ticket or individual sales).
I assume they might have a hard time finding trucks to give up a weekend of regular sales though.
Where would they park the trucks?...
IF they had a real contest, and the competitors accepted the invitation, there could be 75-100 trucks/booths.. or easily more..
Cant put those in the park for 1 day.?
Maybe make a 2 day event out of it? BUT? same questions. Where would you park the trucks?
I am not sure what more they could do with the Bluegrass & Barbecue Festival. They have a lot more than just Ricky Skaggs. I mean 8 time female vocalist of the year Rhonda Vincent, 7 time vocal group of the year Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, The Gibson Brothers, The Grascals and 60 other acts throughout the festival. They also have the Youth In Bluegrass which started at the gazebo in 2001 then moved to the Riverfront Playhouse and now is at the Opera House, and has standing room only there now. I think in 2015 Bluegrass & Barbecue was voted the IBMA event of the year and is always at the top of the list. D.A. Callaway has been voted promoter of the year by SPBGMA I believe 4 times since 2012. The barbecue at Red Gold is really good and reasonably priced. I think it is a fantastic festival and very hard to improve upon.
Interesting read....SDC #16

But wait... where’s Dollywood? I thought everyone (Amusement Today) thought it was soooo much better than SDC in everything (especially Christmas events)
