From the trip reports I'm reading and from my parents experience.....sounds like the EH show has not been a hit this year. Of course that can easily corrected without moving the whole venue.I did some Mack roller coaster investigation last night....looked up the Helix, Blue Fire, and Lightning coasters that are oversees (some links on this board). They look like a lot of fun!!!! I'm sold on Mack as a ride maker IF that is the direction they are going.My pitch to SDC is still to play off of FM and create a jailbreak story. Story around how they where able to dig into a nearby mine shaft....try to ride off on the tracks only to end up back in custody. Would be fun with a launch system that starts indoors with some heavy theming!!!!I love the idea of themed areas with attractions with interconnected stories. SDC would be one of the few places that it could be pulled off.

Nothing at all from anyone? Really? I can't believe Summer is in full swing, a major park development is under way at the park, and we haven't heard a whisper of an update with respect to site changes for a couple weeks or more.
I was there yesterday! The clearing is getting larger and there are more markings in the swoop out of the tunnel area on Thunderation. I spoke with people and they say the park has told them only that this is a multi year project and that it will be two rides/attractions and that a announcement will come in late August or early Sept. The announcement date was consistent with everyone I spoke with.
