Figured I'd start the SDC 2026 Season Trip Report thread.
Who's going to opening day on Friday?
Me and three grandchildren, 5,11,11. Going to start with Thunderation!
Happy Opening Day, everyone!
For those wondering the OG Fire In The Hole structure is still with us along with the adjacent cemetery as they did announce the latter is set to be moved to the new area.
Also while this was covered last year the view walking up to the Waterfall and AP sure is different now with the trees wiped clean.
Visited on 4/13 -- I thought it was a nice sized crowd for a Monday in April. Just a few school groups, not like what you see on Thursdays and Fridays this time of year. The All That clogging show at the Opera House was very similar to last year. The new Docksiders show at the Dockside Theater is similar to the previous Rivertown Ramblers show. 3 of the previous Rivertown Ramblers members are performing in this show. (If you didn't know, the Rivertown Ramblers have moved to the Showboat for 2026.) The music for the Docksiders show ranges from movie and Broadway musicals to gospel, disco, and more. It's supposed to be a trip (a Magical Mystery Tour) visiting different parts of SDC with songs to go with the themed areas. The Cajun Band show in Red Gold was good, but the volume kept increasing as the show went on. It was way too loud for the last 2 songs.
Had not ridden TNT for a couple of years so we rode this time since it's the last season. Roughest ride we have ever experienced on TNT.
Sorry, no construction reports.
As much as I would like to ride TNT, I just don't think my neck and back can take it anymore.
Yeah, I doubt they went to much effort to smooth out the bumps, whether it be wheels or track issues. By the end of the season, people will be less likely to complain about it leaving...
Which is tragic because there's coasters out there twice it's age still around being maintained by other parks
What manufacturer was SDC using for T-N-T since Arrow went out of business?

S&S last I heard. RMC also has former Arrow employees.
^ Thanks! Just curious.
