SDC's 2015 Project

[Tmboote]

I agree that anyone who knows what the new rides are should keep it to themselves because SDC should be the one to give us the official announcement tomorrow instead of someone posting the new area details on a website like this where everyone can come and see the rides a day before SDC wants us to know.

Thumbs up! I remember when they announced TNT and they had a scale model of it in the little wooden hut on your right before you entered the hospitality house. I wonder if they'll put something similar somewhere for this...

[History Buff]

^That's doubtful.  Models cost a lot of money, and with computer engineering and graphics, models are no longer necessary to get the images to the public.  I'm not saying they never use them, but that with the cost and time involved, it doesn't happen often anymore.  I did love to look at those old models though.

Shave, at this point are you ok with sharing of the deets of FL on this site since it is close to the announcement?

I've been having trouble coming up with a clear policy on this, but we frown on digging up exactly what the park is doing when they are setting up an announcement such as this one (which I guess is now the norm anyway). Posting "rumors" is OK, but it's always hard to draw the line. We want to be in the know while at the same time protecting the park's ability to create impactful announcements and publicity campaigns.

Anyone happen to know what time the announcement will be made live tomorrow?

[Tmboote]

So will the announcement be sent to people who sign up before they post information on Facebook and Twitter? Also, since it's called a "five-alarm" announcement will it take place at one time or at will they announce something at five different times throughout the day tomorrow?

Hints are always welcome, but I think what we need is for insider information to be kept inside.  If an observation can be made from the outside, that just becomes public knowledge.

For "insiders", it's always fun to be in on the secret, and for "outsiders", the building suspense is always a part of any great catharsis.

I agree with what you say, although I don't know if that model was really used for anything other than showing off for the visitors of the park. It didn't seem like the type that would have been used in conjunction with actually creating the ride (but then again, I'm not familiar with really how that process worked).

I'm hoping for a great surprise tomorrow, but if not, I will be happy if it is just themed well and is a nice well rounded experience for the whole family.

I think I will be surprised with the announcement tomorrow.

The only ride I think I'll ride is the S&S tower and I think some members of my family will love the new area, but we'll see tomorrow!

It probably won't happen, but it would be great to have actual fire in places.

[Swoosh]

I say we wait for the park

Regarding 2015.... What's a fire without some water?

Could this be a hint of the Roaring Falls ride from Celebration City?

[mammalone]

The announcement is at 11:30.

It was sold, so no

[Duelist]

^^^gotcha.  I was hoping something like that might appear to lessen some of the wait times on other water rides.
