SDC emailed a survey that appeared to be geared toward season pass holders. I took it and emailed it back. It appeared to be a general survey about opinions about the park, things that would draw one back, who you visited the park with, your satifaction with things, things you would like to see, and benefits associated with season passes. Anyone else get a survey emailed to them?
I don't have one yet, Junior, but I always seem to be one of the last ones to get the newsletter.
Yes, I answered mine last night. Interesting survey
nothing here... :(
nope :(
I did the survey. :)
Got mine and answered it yesterday.
I usually get email surveys but have not this time.
We've never gotten one before, but we did this time. DH filled it out and sent it back.
I got one also and returned it.
My survey may have been different from yours. I got mine about a month ago.
It was asking the same questions that yours did. It was also very concentrated on my opinion of a certain acrobatic type show. It gave me a choice of show that I would like to see (about 5 or 6 different types of shows). Then it just kept asking specifics about this acrobat show. It never asked any more questions about the other shows, but asked lots about this acrobat show.
Any guesses as what new show SDC has in mind?

Cirque de Hillbilly?
^ LOL! Maybe they're trying to make whatever Kids Fest will be better.
I've gotten three different surveys in less than a week from the research company. I got the one Junior described, then I got one about milk-based beverages at fast food/quick-serve restaurants, then today was one about Branson area attractions.
Didn't get one about an acrobatic show.
I got one on Friday about Branson area attractions (Ride the Ducks, Dixie Stampede, Wax Museum, the Tracks, and a couple of others). Had several questions about why I haven't been to Ride the Ducks lately and why I didn't like Ride the Ducks. Gave me space to type in a reason for not visiting. Told them that I don't like the photographers that INSIST on taking a picture before boarding and the price is too high.
I have only received one and it was about the Showboat. It centered on a show around Reba McEntire with performers signing her work and stuff she would ok. Other shows to compare it to were a Broadway musical show, a Rockettes show, and a America's Got Talent show.
So, the Showboat is getting a new show for next season.
chittlins, i hope you are right about the new show, IMHO the "showmen: and Janice Martin SUCK!....(made in the usa blue)...
However I do like the summer show on the bell with the Showbells,Mike Bliss and Dean Church. (made in the usa red), Dean has been with the boat for years, But is pretty good entertainment and mike does some great illusions and jokes.
I should clarify, the other shows were in addition to the Reba show, as in other concepts not part of.
Did anyone get the future attractions one yet? :D Some cool stuff on there. Since we're being so secretive, I'll wait until other get it
Nope! I still haven't received any of them.
Hmmm. I got the three I mentioned earlier in this thread, and that's all so far. Nothing about future attractions. Darn it. I love getting those ones.
I just got one and it was asking me about Fall exhibit shows such as:
sidewalk art competition, car shows, military show, Jack Hanna, Missouri sports greats, and several others.
There really wasn't any that made me want to drop everything and head over to SDC to watch any of them.

Jay, i would have to agree with you on that...... Nothing real exciting on that list..
with the fact that most of your list would not be "in theme"..??
How could you consider having a car show @ SDC???

I'll have to go along with you two. Please.....NO CAR SHOW AT THE CITY! That includes...NO MILITARY SHOW, JACK HANNA, or SPORTS! It doesn't fit theme, and I would not attend any of them.
Still...no surveys for me.
I thought Jack Hanna and his animals or some other type of animal show had already been at SDC during Kids Fest. I know I've seen dog shows during Kids Fest and there have been Birds of Prey at Echo Hollow.
History note: Marlin Perkins' Zoo once was a featured attraction at SDC! (Marlin Perkins was at one time head dude over the St. Louis Zoo, but is best known for his role as host of a wildlife show in the 60s and 70s called Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.) Perkins' Zoo was at SDC sometime in the early to mid 60s.
So? there has been at least 5 surveys sent out lately?
Showboat?
Attractions?
Fall Exhibits?
Milk products 2 booths? ( Joy)
Branson Attractions? (ducks,dixie,wax museum,the tracks)
Thats a lot of info, what did I miss..
Will be interesting to see what they do with the feedback info.
So far I only received one survey and it was about that silly acrobat show. Though (IN ALL HONOSTY) I cant remember if the show was something "possibly" coming to SDC or Branson in general. Its been too long since I answered it, and I have no interest whatsoever in "yet another" acrobatic circus. I work with a few "know-it-alls" that have to have the winning word in every event like a center ring circus act. Honostly, one of my good friends there "and myself" have givin the nickname "CIRCUS ACT" to one of those crybaby acrobats.
I did receive a similar survey from SF corp. a few days ago. Oddly enough it was a questionaire about how I would like to see the old fashioned train removed and replaced with a "high speed" train? Of course the tracks would be modified as to NOT cross over any pedstrian walkways.
-Again going superfast on 2 thin rails (see a previous response from me about this subject)! I would far rather be on a controlled track such as a (oh I dont know---one of them--ahh--what are they called again? Hmmmm Its coming to me, OH YEAH) a roller coaster. Seems SF has more of these things than most other parks (save Cedar Point). Why would we want to remove an old favorite. Everybody likes to slow down and take a leisurely train ride sometimes. Somehow flying around the park at 60+ MPH on a speedrail does not sound as peaceful.

;D ;D ;D ;DNow that's funny!! LOL>!! thanks for the early sunday morning laugh! ;D ;D
What acrobat act are you referring to? The Wallenda Brothers? I enjoyed their show when it was at SDC last year. The Chinese Acrobat show in town? Have't seen that one, but it seems quite a few people like it. Just not sure what show you mean.

This was a hypothetical show on a survey. You know. "If we decided to bring this show to a certain area--Why would you like it? Why would it make you want to drop everything and go see it? and so on!!! Anytime they ask questions like that. The answer choices are usually something like.
I would not go
I would like it
I would love it
I cant wait to see it
Please make it happen
This is a must do
These are just examples, but they seldom give you a chance to say no. Every answer must be positive.
Well my answers were not positive. I dont want another show like that.
It was not "how DID you like the show!" It was "how WOULD you like this show?"

Oh!!! They're using the old "thick and thin" reading comprehension strategy! LOL! Thanks for explaining, Qwed.
