What are the projected best dates to visit for Christmas this year in terms of lowest crowds?
Regardless the budget and scheduling issues that may be a factor, the reality is it's going to look very ghetto if they leave Lake Silver as is next to a brand new $25 million addition. It's a shame that something as simple as a very small body of water cannot be treated as an aesthetic asset to the park. Especially considering how little the park would need to invest to treat it as such.
Another new thought - That lift looks a lot higher than Infinity Falls at Sea World.....maybe it isn't. But it will be interesting to see how the rafts queue up for the lift....or if it will be quick enough that they don't. The lift really changes how to operate a raft ride.
Watching the initial reactions from the public roll in... Very reminiscent of the Time Traveler announcement in some ways. Lots of people freaking out about the drop, saying it makes it too scary to be a family ride. SDC stepping in and downplaying it so people aren't worried...
Well, with Time Traveler we know how that went. People got over their fears pretty darn quick and it's been incredibly popular. I predict the same will happen here. Only difference is that this is a replacement of a previous ride, so I can understand the people who are scared of heights being upset about it.
I just think it's hilarious how SDC will try to push the envelope a little, then have to down play it every time when people freak out, lol.
it's a Saturday with the Christmas stuff. It's going to be packed. This one might be lighter- you might get to use the parking lot instead of parking 3 miles down the road- but honestly if you're going to go on a Saturday you're going to have to deal with huge, heavy crowds and long lines.
I can not recommend strongly enough, do not go to SDC on a Nov or Dec Saturday. Friday nights and Sunday nights are better, though still busy. But they are manageable, especially in November. But if there is any way at all possible, go on a Wednesday or Thursday. You will have a much, much better day.
I was informed that all targets have been reset and that there are several targets valued at 500 points now. I do not know how many or where they are located but they are there
I had friends there Sunday and it was working. Lightning strikes do not necessitate taking it down. Good grief. Stop all this hype until we know what is going on.
They shut the ride down if there is lighting within a 10 mile radius. So, it can be shut down for a long time on rainy days.
Pretty much underwhelmed as I thought I would be. We knew most of this before so I was not expecting much. I know this is replacing a kids area, but how many kids areas do they really need? If you really look at it, why would putting in used rides from a place (CC) that was a failure be considered a smart move ? hopefully better things are on the horizon.
^That's doubtful. Models cost a lot of money, and with computer engineering and graphics, models are no longer necessary to get the images to the public. I'm not saying they never use them, but that with the cost and time involved, it doesn't happen often anymore. I did love to look at those old models though.
