SDC Times January 2012
« on: January 07, 2012, 11:38:02 AM »
Received a copy of the SDC Times yesterday.  Had a lot of info about the entertainment during the various festivals this year.  Looks like there is more entertainment this year (yay!) ;D.  Also had some coupons for Ride the Ducks, the Track and Dixie Stampede.  Mainly it was a mailing to encourage season pass sales.

I received mine yesterday as well.  It confirmed that Headin West was gone as it says they are bringing back music to the Opera House during the Harvest Festival.  They are going to have Riders in the Sky back this year.  I have always enjoyed them at SDC.  It also talked about their 4th of July bash and their country music weekend in September.  I think it said they are having Diamond Rio and Pam Tillis in on that weekend.

My parents got theirs a few days ago. I didn't notice much that we hadn't heard already besides the fact that there will be a new Bubble show during kidsfest  ::)

I hope it's just a show and viewer participation is not encouraged or at least contained to the show area. As if dribbling basketballs wasn't enough imagine a few thousand kids blowing bubbles in your face all over the park.  ;D

That's what I'm afraid of.

Do you guys remember?...years ago in Tom Sawyers Landing there was a bubble exhibit where you could step onto a tray filled with a sudsy solution and someone standing outside would pull a hoop up by rope, encasing you entirely in a great big bubble.

^I've got pictures of me standing inside those as a kid! That's good they're bringing that back to the park.

The thing that interested me from this issue of the Times is the show LUMA during KidsFest. It says it's an enLIGHTening stage show that centers around Marvel Cave. I like to see they're incorporating the cave into entertainment, especially during KidsFest. Does anyone have anymore information on this show?

^^Coaster, are they bringing those back?  I didn't mean to imply that they were...I don't know one way or another.  I was just remembering them because of the talk above about bubbles.

As for the show that "centers around the cave", I haven't heard a thing.  However, when CC closed, I made the suggestion to various people that they take the big laser from the CC night-time show and put it down in the cathedral room for a laser light show.  I'm not saying that's what it is, but I always thought a laser light show down there would be real cool.
