Isn't it not 'til autumn that next-year projects are usually announced publicly for theme parks?

^Yes, normally SDC announces next years plan in October or November I've always thought.

Most attractions like River Blast are announced just before season passes go on sale in early November. Larger attractions such as coasters are usually announced sooner. I have a feeling we'll be waiting this year.

I was looking at the area that contained the water boggin and noticed how temporarily the trees were planted. When you walk buy look  how the rootballs ride so high above the ground. I think they may actually still be in the burlap.
They were planted knowing they would be removed soon.

Yes they are but I still wish they would go ahead and make an announcement.  I really am no good at waiting........

Ok,
I am calling your hand, either you have a idea or you are bluffing.
C'mon Swoosh, give us something to look at, 
point something out to us we arent seeing
Throw us a bone

I am officially calling your bluff

Your loss then. 

I've been around the industry long enough to know that you don't spill the beans before the park is ready to announce. 

You "calling my bluff" won't phase me anymore than the countless others before you that have "called my bluff"

Like I said, there are clues if you know where to look, and that's all you are getting right now.

As much as I want to know what the 2011 project is, in some ways I kinda agree with you swoosh. See, my family owns a local restaurant that's being relocated in a brand new building. Even though it's going to open pretty soon, dad has been telling me not to tell anyone what the new building is going to look like because it would spoil it. It would probably be the same situation with SDC.

I compare it to peeking at your gifts before Christmas. 
Why ruin the surprise before it is time?  It ruins the magic.

Swoosh,
I know you do want to say too much, and I completely understand. However, can you tell us if it is going to be a thrill ride, something that you would enjoy, etc. Will it be a good replacement for the waterboggin and splash harbor? The waterboggin was becoming one of our favorite rides. I hated to see it go. My 4 boys loved splash harbor. Again, we hated to see it go. It will all be worth it however if there is a new thrill ride of some sort like the mystery mine.

^I will direct those question to Copper.  He is a little more intune with what is going on with the park right now then I am.  Things change quite often in the amusement world, and IDK if my information is the most current
