General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Refill Cups
« on: September 22, 2018, 10:30:41 PM »
If the price difference would break them, the refillable cups wouldn't be offered in the first place.
They sell them knowing that the vast majority will only be used for one visit. Fans who hang onto theirs year after year for repeat visits are obviously worth a lot more than a nickel's worth of soda (which is all that 50 cent price difference costs them).

The theming is better Classic SDC than anything SDC has put out recently. (I know, it's a simulation, but it looks good.)

Random Talk / More ADA news about parks
« on: August 24, 2018, 06:09:41 PM »
This is specifically about Disney, but we've had discussions about the American with Disabilities Act as it applies to SDC. I don't think it belongs in SDC talk, nor other parks talk, so I'm putting it in Random Talk.
I quote from law professor Eugene Volokh's "Short Circuit" roundup of recent U.S. Circuit Court decisions.
"Disney theme parks accommodate individuals with cognitive disabilities by allowing them to skip the line for all rides with wait times of less than 15 minutes (which is most rides) and to schedule appointments at rides with longer wait times. They are never required to wait in lines. Parents (in 30 separate lawsuits): Not good enough. Our kids still have meltdowns. Eleventh Circuit: Disney might not be complying with the ADA."

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Fire In The Hole on-ride video (Circa 2011)
« on: August 21, 2018, 09:23:17 PM »One of the guys out there (who posts here sometimes) put a huge amount of time, investment and effort fixing up FM last year, and it was looking great last season, especially at the beginning.
Our friend who also busted his butt volunteering at Dogpatch?
He definitely loves the parks and their history.

Talked to KD today,
That's a great report. Is their pet policy staying the same?

That looks awesome!
I would buy it if they allowed downloads, but since their purchased videos are just lifetime rentals, I'll rent it instead.
Whoops, I spoke too soon!
I was looking at their "how to watch" page, I guess. I went back again and saw that I could buy and download, so I did.
I'm enjoying it right now.

Is it actually a DUKW, or one of the modern tour vehicles?
