Yeah, "glorfied carnival" was bad wording on my part. What I meant by that is not as good as its sister park SDC. While I do understand SDC has been around a lot longer, there's no doubt in my mind that they didn't invest in CC as much as they originally intended to. If they want SDC's draw, which I have a feeling they do, they need to put in SDC effort. The Stinger, as great as it is, dosn't compair to The Giant Swing, The Grand Exposition, or any other additions made to SDC. They could also use a few more indoor things to give people a reason to stay when it's raining. Really though, they should just invest money into CC and make it SDC level rather than build a complete new park that would also be SDC's level (and cost even more dollars to build).
Right now, its obvious that they promote and treat CC (and even White Water) secondary to SDC and they would probably be a lot more successful if they treated them all like world class parks. I mean, as you said, they aren't Disneyland, but they don't need to be another Six Flags either. I put HFEC above Six Flags and all parks like them, because I think they're better, unfortuantely CC isn't like SDC or Dollywood, but it can be if they invest in it properly.
That all said, they are definitely considering overhauling it if they are sending out surveys about it. Hopefully they don't go through with it because I like CC's era themes. Still, they are definitely considering it.
