2 of my kids where ready to go an hour after getting there today :/ They rather be back in the car with their ipads. SDC has tough competition these days for their attention.
When I was a kid I was so excited to get there I couldn't stand it. I felt it was the end of the world when I had to leave. Come to think of it I still do!
SDC however is a different park, what was changed to make SDC TN into DW is now showing up in SDC.
I don't know if we'll ever know how much blame they deserve for the Lightning Run trouble, but HFEC probably isn't running back to them regardless.
Dollywood proves that HFE are capable of doing major updates and upgrades yearly....but also is a sign that SDC is not their primary focus. SDC has to deal with the fact that the Branson tourism market isn't as big of a growth market as PF (in my slightly educated opinion).
I'm not an expert on SDCs attendance but it seems that SDC is already busting at the seams each weekend without the yearly updates (and with price increases). I don't think SDC 'needs' a new ride to survive or to increase attendance/profit. I've always been curious about the market research behind the Branson market and the capacity that the park can handle. I also wonder about when SDC will go do a Disney-like demand system pricing (ex...Saturday one day tickets more expensive)
I don't recall any mention of this being an indoor attraction on any level. And no one here knows with certainty what is on the horizon.
They might no go the G-fighter route, but there are plenty of ways to do something in the same vein as MM. Mack and Zierer make similar rides, plus there's always a B&M dive coaster. Hopefully this spinning coaster concept won't be the last time they look at mostly enclosing a coaster.
I'm still pondering about the station though. Like I've mentioned, the markers make a pretty tight loop around the bathrooms before joining up again side by side farther down the hill. When you imagine the big B&M track there, there's very little space for a boarding platform. Unless it has short trains...
Perhaps there's still a possibility that the station will be over by GE instead. There's no telling where the markers extend to yet.
Is that a C L before the word coaster? What does the C L mean?
