Random Talk / Re: H2R survey
Last post by runner1960 - January 13, 2026, 02:02:02 PMthe whole mug/cup/ tumbler thing is just a self created fiasco. I but they make more money selling plastic junk than anything else. I just threw away my last 3 years 1 day cup. Or was it a mug ? Or a tumbler ?

Random Talk / Re: H2R survey
Last post by sdcfan88 - January 12, 2026, 07:02:39 PMBeen seeing a lot more grandfathered mugs being put up for sale at pretty high prices with the posts making it known they aren't single season mugs like the new ones. I'm betting as part of the penny pinching, people are also getting tired of paying $20-30 for the 1 season mugs which will be bringing up demand for the older ones. Saw an old glass mug (from the 1980's?) go for $25.
If people from the park are on here seeing this, perhaps they should do a special 250th celebration mug for the season that will qualify to be used with the old grandfathered system. Perhaps market it as forever pricing if they don't want to acknowledge the grandfathered mugs.

Last post by shavethewhales - January 12, 2026, 08:30:00 AMThey have historically been pretty conservative with their investments during downturns, but then lately they've been spending wildly on all the new acquisitions. What is probably really biting them is that people are starting to react to inflation and pull back on things. Less park outings, less in-park purchases, etc. I rarely eat more than a snack when I visit anymore, and I used to love eating at SDC. I doubt they are selling as many of the upper level passes anymore either. The whole BAF pass thing has turned into a confusing debacle at this point and that seems to be the main selling point of the higher level passes.

And I hate to see that for them with all the hype they have pushed with the resort being built and the indirect hype with the big new coaster coming. Really bad timing overall. Granted its not their fault though...

Last post by runner1960 - January 08, 2026, 04:32:13 PMI just got another H2R survey. This one was even more bleak than the one before. You can tell they are really concerned with the increase in cost of goods and living expenses rising dramatically. Tons of questions on that and even questions on how you feel the direction of the country in general is doing. A couple alluding to if tarrifs will be affecting my travel plans for the next year. It would not surprise me if they pull back on some capital spending dramatically.

Same for the 1st. Outlaw Run also has 70 min wait times.
One train ops with skeleton crew will do that

Last post by ColaSDC - January 06, 2026, 01:11:08 PMI'm glad that TnT seems to be sticking around a little longer. I hope that SDC finds a way to refurb it in a way that it can stick around much longer (again, a full refurb + retracking + new steel supports would go a long way)

Last post by shavethewhales - January 06, 2026, 07:59:03 AMIt could have been something else, but I could have sworn I saw some steel supports behind the maintenance area when I rode the barn swing back mid December. They were bulky and square looking, but they were all in a pile. Could have been steel for a new maintenance building or something else, or even staging for the new resort.

Last post by sdcfan88 - January 05, 2026, 06:03:32 PMIt will definitely be interesting to see how this all develops over the next few months. I figure we should be seeing the first track and supports by the spring. Anybody wanna speculate on the color scheme? I wonder if they will stick with the muted colors they have done previously or go for something more brightly colored?
