WOW rube!  you really got "back" on the soapbox on that one!!!!   LOL

Talking about the train. i heard thet were going start stopping about 50 yards earlier before the train robbery.  So the people in the front cars would not have to turn around and risk a "strain" on the necks. To watch the skit.

that was very obvious sunday back intime.. the area by the saloon,, AP, WW. up towards PK and opera house.  was BUSY..  lots of people..   as i walked around the park the only other "busy" part was GG.   other than those 2 area it was easy to walk around and look at anyhting you wanted to. 

I dont see them taking out GG because of the obvious demand it has with the kids.

I do think a major ride in the WB area would help with people traffic in that area.

I am also surprised at he timing of the announcement, why announce now. for NEXT year.. I would have thought they would want to get this year going strong 1st. Let people enjoy the newest attractions!

Maybe announce the NEW for 2012 midsummer or so.?

I still wonder if that is what SDC is doing.?

Met with Paige over the weekend and she said they may be doing a name change on the motel. NOTHING ELSE WILL CHANGE!

They are getting some new carpet, new fixtures and other upgrades.

She is working on updating the link here on the website

Phone numbers and management will all remain the same
         Paige @ 417-336-2666

Our discount will remain at 40.00 per nite + taxes

If you already have reservations, they will stay intact, if not call her and get on the list!  LOL!!

I just want to stress  ONLY the name will change! NOTHING else...

well lets see DW appears to be getting 2 major attractions in 2 years,
Major rebuild on the showboat,
major revamp at WW...
But nothing at SDC, (except of course HDH). 
so with all the money being spent in for 2011 & 2012 looks like SDC is coming in last place on the investment list. with an estimate of only about 6-8% of total money invested, it does not look good for our favorite place!  HMMMM??

still think there is nothing in the works?

Question for the one of you "masters" of SDC>..

I was walking past the FL exit, and looked back toward the lake,ride area and it looked different.?  did they paint that area? change the sign?  what?  I looked at it a couple of time and could not figure ou what looked difeerent.. AND NO i did not take a pic. that would have been too easy.
