Thanks for the photos! It looks great! And the paint job on the balloons looks amazing; it really fits the park. This area is such a huge improvement, it's got to be one of the best projects the park has ever taken on. We've gone from Tom Sawyer's Landing, to Geyser Gulch, to this, and I think this is the best they've ever done with it. I wish they had put half as much effort into GE.

They keep pushing the dog character. I wonder how that will progress, because I can't really see where they're going with it. It's obviously not going to go viral or anything, but it will be cute for the kids to take pictures with.

Can't wait till they stick a coaster on the other part of the land

I'm totally okay with that dalmatian "furry character" if it means eventually they'll phase out the licensed Nickelodeon/etc characters. Get a Rocky Raccoon character in there... Dollywood had/has a bear character (https://www.flickr.com/photos/supermommichelle/2603527953), and a dog character (https://www.flickr.com/photos/83459822@N00/6200774391).

I think a Rocky Raccoon character would be great. I wanna see a resurgence of original kid stuff, like the old children's books. Maybe make a character of the carved old wood man from The Day Toys Came to Silver Dollar City.

OMG! The ride in that video is the best log ride ever!

And the award for worst log ride goes to, American Plunge, because of that "upgrade" that they did, which was really a downgrade. They took all the fun out of it. It's now boring and everything looks broke. I feel like it just tells a story of death now, and I don't like that. I expect it to go before 2020. They're not making much money off of it. It's probably only worth $250 to $1,000 now.

Nice. Once again I have to say that the colors and details turned out exquisite. I hardly even notice the fact that there are 6 rides crammed in here because they fit in so well. It really feels like a natural extension of the city, and once again it's a huge improvement over what was there before.

This is going to be a huge hit.

I didn't expect the area to have as much as red, white, and blue when the plans were unveiled in August. I guess it makes sense since they just added the new Star-Spangled Summer festival last year.

I can't wait to see the new area next weekend!

[Swoosh]

All of the promo art has shown a plethora of red white and blue so it wasn't surprising to see it in the finished product

[sanddunerider]

Very anxious to see the finished project this weekend.
