Random Talk / Re: SDCFans Teachers

Survived my first day back. (year 5 is not officially in progress) Only 174 days left until summer.

Everything went very smoothly, only complaint was the fact that AC in my wing of the building decided to quit today (they have people working on it, but they say it might be Monday before it is 100% again) so that made the room very warm, and with a lot of band kids -- well let's just say that it was quite warm in there.

Wow, tomorrow is Friday? Amazing. Time for some Friday night football

I have been to both and I still think SDC has a Charm that DW does not. Don't get me wrong DW has some great rides but the heart is still at SDC...

A lot of the "charm" that we associate with SDC was at DW when it was SDCTN, but a lot of the little signs and quirky things that make SDC are no longer present at DW.

One thing that annoys me about DW is that there is no one unifying theme to the overall park. It bothers me that there is an 1880s section and then a 1950s section with no segue whatsoever. However I like both parks for what they are, BUT if I had to choose one, it would SDC hands down.

I guess as late in the year as it is getting, it is safe to say nothing will be open on the CC site in 2011? I'm not convinced they really know what they want to do with the space.

They want to liquidate the rides and then they will take steps from there.
That's about all I can get from them.

Whatever they put in the WB area needs to be an all-seasons ride. With all the water rides in that area, that part of the park doesn't have a lot to do in the cooler times of the year.

Indeed. Who says that THIS attraction is going there?
However most people will point out the fact "they didn't remove WB for nothing"

Ugh. First day of in-service. We got to learn about PBS today (and no not the tv station either). So not going to work, but I'll smile and pretend for the committee that is heading it up.

2 more days of in-service and then we get kids on Thursday.
