but does this mean HFEC is moving toward SF-style locker policies?

actually the reports out of the Texas parks is that they are no longer enforcing that this year

Meh. I'm happy for Dollywood for getting a quality flat ride finally, but I'm having trouble getting excited about this. Second verse, same as the first and all that jazz

^^Really? Because TPTB seemed to think they only need two rides in there THIS YEAR. You said it yourself:

GE is designed for the entire spectrum of the family whereas HDH is a very small specific group WHICH THE ADDITION OF THE SWINGS CONTINUES TO CATER TO - AS WOULD THE ADDITION OF OTHER SMALL KIDDIE RIDES FROM CC.

FTFY

The one thing that everyone needs to remember that in this business is that everything is fluid. Just because they said one thing now or even a month from now does not mean that it is the final decision. Don't be surprised to hear one thing from the PTB one day and then a couple weeks later something else - it's the nature of the beast. If attendance is up this year, which it very well might be considering they are calling for a cooler start to summer, who knows what may happen. They DO have a few larger projects planned, they have certain areas of the park earmarked for different projects (including the waterboggan site) it is just a matter of when and if they get the green light from headquarters to do it.

So like I said, just because they said "no large attraction" now, who knows in a couple of months. I still say look for more CC rides to make their way over to SDC though.

I worry that Swoosh will get his way, but I think more rides ruins the purpose of HDH - a one-entrance, small-people place where some parents will drop their young'ns and then hang out at the exit to make sure they don't escape.

I've just been in the business too long to know how the PTB think. I don't see how adding more rides to this area would be any different than the Science area in GE which also has one way in and one way out.

I think it will beat GE hands down.

We'll have to agree to disagree there. GE is designed for the entire spectrum of the family whereas HDH is a very small specific group.

I think that if they had included 2 more kiddie rides along with the swings it would have made more sense, but to just have the one random kiddie ride there makes me

TBQH the Lil' Swings placement in this area is just so random. Not sure what the thought process was on it -- how does it fit? I mean the carousel works but the swings???
