So now that we know the basics of SDC's 2009 plans, what's in store for CC? Will the park try to add more shows and shops in an effort to boost it's appearance of being the cheaper SDC alternative? Or will they finally spring for a large thrill ride to further reign in the budget thrill crowd?
It certainly has been a while since they built a true thrill ride, and that has already left the park. Roaring Falls was a fantastic addition, but it doesn't exactly portray anything that every other park already has a bigger & better version of. The park just doens't seem into thrill rides, however, as they have never run any type of campaign showcasing it. In fact, both parks seem pretty much transfixed on attracting mom's, which makes me thing more family rides and kiddie attrations are in the works, hopefully in additon to new shops and shows.
Once again I'm going to say that it's time for the park to get a new brochure center piece, but it doesn't necesarily need to be a giant thrill ride. Remeber how Lance at Screamscape heard a rumor about Gerstauler having some sort of recent connection to SDC? Maybe a new spinning coaster is in the works - they have proven to be not only budget-friendly but also very big crowd pleasers. A new coaster sure would look good right now.
