I was really hoping the new project would NOT come close to the swinging bridge. I like the idea that the bridge was an isolated spot in the middle of the city. Hope they don't develop the Half Dollar Holler area too much!

with you on that junior, i like the HDH idea, i am also hoping that leave some trees and brush between bridge and the new area..   I would not mind looking through the brush to see the kids playing.. But I dont really want it butted up to bridge for easy viewing.  (like the walkway at AP for instance)..   Guess we will all know in 122 days!!!!!! ::)

Where’s Mrs. Mary Herschend when you need her? She would never allow such atrocities! ;) The markers closest to the bridge look very reminiscent of the carousal footprint based on my own perspective.

I too would like to see some type of woodsy barrier between HDH an the swinging bridge.  The good news is, that all of the trees within the orange tape are little ones, they don't seem to be preparing to sacrifice any of the big boys.

I hope you're right! But those markers may not be flagging off which trees to cut, but rather mark the location that the utilities such as electric wires, and pluming, and foundational preparations need to be made for the attractions. :-X

Parson, i doubt if they would pull any big trees. With this addition I would think they could work around the trees as needed. especcially for the kids area..  I am hoping for a couple of picnic table in that area too.  adults can sit and relax while the kids play.

I dont know if this has anything to do with it but I asked my husband what the orange tape ment survey wise and he said its a marker to show boundries or where a stake is for surveyin purpose.  :-\

Markers are multipurpose, and can be used for any number of things including surveying. Who knew we could all get so excited about little plastic flags? However, it's a sign of progress! ;D

For anyone who's wondering what will happen to the swinging bridge.  Just look at the photo. I think it's pretty clear.  ;)

I think that is a different "swinging bridge".. shows it between 2 treehouses....   I think Old Faithful is safe for now.. ;D

If they took out the Swinging Bridge, this city would be headed for a disaster of biblical proportions, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! The Lost River and Lake Silver boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!  And that would just be from us here on SDC fans, that's not including what the old-timers might do!   ;D

As Bart Simpson would say, nobody better lay a finger on my swinging bridge! :D

I'm just teasing, but I am very confident that Miller's Bridge will continue to swing, and sway for generations to come. :)
