Don't all the water rides close every year at Labor Day? Or is subjective to the weather now?

Other Parks / Re: Six flags passes

We are already gold members. Six flags STL is 20 mins away from us. We have 8 passes and to add the all park passport would cost $125 per pass. After the sale started I went to guest services and asked about the new all park MVP sale and she said we already had the all park passport added to all our passes because too many people called in to corporate to complain.

All 3 of those names suck but I would choose daredevil railway. Fits in with the daredevil narrative of AP. I could see them re-theming and restoring AP. It certainly needs it.

I'm betting nothing or a vague more things coming soon for this project.

Probably will be mostly about the resort and season passes for next year, maybe a new show.
I actually agree with this. That announcement is pretty underwhelming. Usually they hype up their new rides but this fanfest has blah written all over it. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

I would doubt TNT goes anywhere soon. One train suits it just fine and the ride is the smoothest it's been since it was new. One of the best mine trains in the world.

Man the lack of news is bumming me out. Dollywoods new ride is getting a teaser campaign and all sorts of new interesting pictures. I know the construction there is more exposed than SDC, but still. SDC isn't even trolling at this point. Everything is sealed shut right now.  :-X  *Sigh* I'm just an impatient person...

General Silver Dollar City Talk / SDC Nanocoasters

I have started connecting Nanocoasters and saw at one point there were outlaw run and wildfire ones. Apparently they were only sold for one season though. Anyone know where I could get them new or used?

Yea I couldnt believe how close AP and PK are to each other. They feel like they are the length of the park apart, but seeing them next to each other with the trees cleared was quite shocking actually.

Yea it does have the classic jerky arrow transitions. But the layout is killer so if there is any work I hope it stays the same. And I hope the trains keep the same look too.

Are we sure part of the construction isn't for American plunge? They have some log boats and other things above the tunnel just sitting. And some of the construction looks like boat channels.

I asked a group of AP operators if they were improving/adding on to AP with that construction and one of the ladies said "Yes we are just" until she was cut off by another that said we know nothing about the construction. I said you may have slipped up and she smiled and nodded. Obviously I am probably being trolled and don't take any stock into that interaction. But the construction still looks boat ride-ish to me there and behind the waterfall.

That doesn't explain any of the footers that have been spotted though. Anyways just making conversation.

Man it's been 7 years since I have been to SDC and today wasn't a good day. All coasters were down for hours today. At 1 point they were all down at the same time. Didn't get to ride outlaw run it was down 90% of the day.

Mystic River falls was elite. The drone and fireworks show was great.

Badgered everybody I could about construction and got nowhere as expected. It was just more for fun not to actually get any info.

Did ask thunderation operators if this was the last year it would be running and they all said absolutely not. Sad to see the second train missing. It ran faster than I remember. It also runs smoother than expected except for the first down helix and in the tunnel. Shooting out of that tunnel all the way to the station is smooth as butter.

Oh I hadn't seen or heard anything about the footers yet.

While the past few coasters have had a "record breaking" aspect to them, I feel this one won't have any of that but will rather be a "complete ride" that will be a great experience and be able to draw enthusiasts without the "records".

Going to sdc next Friday and Saturday for my birthday! It's been 5 years can't wait! SDC is my favorite place not just theme park wise but my favorite place on earth period!

Speculative musing for thought: what if they are building a GCI woodie and calling it Ozark Wildcat to pay homage to the original at celebration city?

Quote from: sdcfan88 on June 27, 2025, 02:04:44 PMIt will be interesting to see if they do any biggest, tallest, fastest type marketing with this. Or something to top that 95 foot tall loop from TT if it's indeed another Mack creation. Lol
yes that's what I was wondering. With the exception of fire in the hole, their last 3 rides have been "record breaking" in some category.
