QuotePeriodically, some of us who are signed up to receive emails from SDC or from Herschend get emails that have survey links. Sometimes the surveys are about possible new rides, or about your last visit to SDC, or about your thoughts about travel to other parks and attractions.

Lol I keep getting the economic climate and "which parks I'm visiting in 2026" surveys. I'm pretty limited on my options this year so I just say SDC. Guess they don't want my input for future attractions. 😅


Yeah, it's been a while since I have received new attraction or rides surveys. But I get a lot of the other ones.

26 minutes of explaining nothing about the new coaster. Going down some serious rabbit trails.

I'm baffled by people looking at the mining hoist structure and confusing it with some kind of coaster support.

He did do some research and he said that he was wrong about that

I remember just before Wildfire was announced in August of 2000, rumor mills where swirling that project 2001 would be a B&M invert. Perhaps one of the loudest platforms for this was the Wild Rumors section of thrilride.com. According to interviews after Wildfire opened, Wildfire came much closer to being a standup than an invert. A standup was turned down to try and lower the height requirement if I remember correctly. I think we wound up with the best possible choice of the three, although I was sure hoping for an invert at the time.

These days I can just enjoy the process of seeing it built while waiting for the reveal. The interesting footer work on the Powder Keg side of the station sure has peaked my interest. No way currently to get good photos of it.

(RIP thrillride.com, the Whoppers of the Week were some of the most entertaining reads on the internet. :) )

He's pretty adamant that this will not be a Stryker but sure thinks one is coming in 2029.  Whatever.  We're getting a new ride.
