So I was just browsing through some photos of the River Battle's opening at DW, and I was thinking about the possibility of such an attraction coming to SDC in the near future. It could be a serious possibility, seeing as the what works well at one park always ends up at the other, and the River Battle seems to be a hit at DW. Besides, it's a solid family/kid-friendly ride that the GP loves.
The only beef I have with it is that the theming on DW's model is really plastic looking, and it really kinda clashes with the Mystery Mine. In fact, I would go as far as saying that it destroys the atmosphere of that area of the park, and I hope they go back over it in the future and make more of a transition between MM and RB.
That's what worries me about one coming to SDC. As the park grows more and more into a basic theme park, it would be very tempting for the management not to just plop one of these by Geyser Gulch somewhere and just throw in a bunch of the same plastic theming. It would kinda work because that area is already getting off the theme of the rest of the park, but it would start a serious trend of apathy from keeping the park set in one solid feel...
Meh, I just hope that if we get one of these, they theme it a little more realistically than RB. If they went with it, one of these could fit in marvelously at SDC, just so long as they don't cheap out.
