Wish List
« on: October 30, 2010, 03:00:34 AM »
Well Christmas time will soon be here. Whether you believe in Santa or not, it is fun to have a wish list. So let's hear it. Don't limit yourself to the realm of feasibility, as I am hoping to get different responses than in the 2011 project thread. I also hope this thread will not become an area for griping about what SDC isn't getting :)

That said, if you could have whatever you wanted added to the park at the beginning of next year, what would it be?

I am going with the magic genie convention here and picking three wishes.

1)A better Water Boggan with at least 95% uptime ;-)
2)Renovations to the American Plunge to restore more "theme" to the ride, like it used to be.
3)An SDC themed version of X2-This will never happen, but it's the only coaster that I still scream on, the chairs flip!

Any other wishes out there?

Ol' wagon rides out in the woods, on unpaved surface, to show us all what it was REALLY like. Like a wagon train head'n west, look out for the indians!!!! :o
I'll say it again - campfire stories told by citizens of SDC that involves the city slicker guests. Maybe let a guest or 2 tell a story.

Bring back the bookstore...stagecoach...float trip.

How about an updated version of the diving bell with all the special effects now available?

It really would be a radical move to go "retro" with some "new" attractions.  AP is really not so much a thrill anymore and would be a greatly-themed float trip ride in which riders float past native Ozark animals, both live and animated.  Another flume ride, from CC could replace the logging theme, and could be incorporated at the old waterfall location, along with some other side features..

The Diving Bell is probably the greatest, most creative, and most missed concept of all time.  I see it as a 4D theater at the edge of the water.  It could even help anchor the GG side of the lake along with a mine coaster (in whatever form).

None of us would mind if characters were brought back.  Times were when visitors new the characters by name.

Moving in this retro direction would be a bold move to go forward by returning to our roots.  Plus a great bookstore on main square would be great too.  You are right on the mark, Junior.

Oh my goodness, there are so many things! How do I possibly narrow it down to just three? :D

Okay, so here are the first three wishes that pop into my head.

1. Take out the tea cups ride, and replace it with the merry-go-round. Leave the tea cups for Disney!  ;)
2. Plant more trees! Silver Dollar City just simply cannot have enough.
3. Behind the scenes tours for all SDCFans.com members! ;D
