Update on leaderboard
#1 theme park (has been going back and forth with Knoebels for the number 1 and number 2 spots)
#2 best theme park restaurant for Rivertown Smokehouse
#1 entertainment for Frontier Follies
#3 coaster for Time Traveler
I think the voting for these is open through the 20th.
^ I was really happy to see the Frontier Follies in the running. It's our favorite show at the City. Last year's show was really clever the way they brought the Mean Murphy show back. Does anyone know if they're doing the same show this year?
Saw Frontier Follies on Monday, and yes, it's the Mean Murphy show with Mean Murphy, Charlie and Miss Roots plus 4 saloon girls.
Can no longer see the leaderboards for these categories but at last visibility, SDC had dropped from #1 to #2 in best theme park and in entertainment. Voting still going on. There were QR codes posted in the park encouraging visitors to vote.
The Showboat was #3 for dinner cruise and #10 for dinner theater. Results have not been announced yet for best theme park, etc.
Thanks for the updates!

SDC #1 best theme park (#2 was Knoebels)

#1 at nagging fans to vote
Dollywood didn't get nearly as many votes.
Florida and Williamsburg racked up a few in various categories. Are those big guys left out of the theme park category?
