I don't know if the plan was to keep taking out then (basically) replacing or if they were going to add something and the situation arises where something has become more expensive to repair than remove.  I'm sure it was more cost effective to take out FITH and Lost River than continuing to repair them.  I did like the old FITH and Lost River better than I do their replacements but it is what it is.

Dude I have been a season pass holder all my life.  I absolutely love SDC, but it is an absolute joke for it to be "the best theme park in America".  It is not even in the ballpark with theming compared to Universal or Disney.  If they truly want to be the best, then quit cheaping out on theming

I don't want SDC to be on the same level as Universal/Disney.  I don't want the crowds that they have.  I don't want Trailblazers to be mandatory.  SDC  is more quaint and relaxing than the above mentioned parks.  It is way more affordable than them.  We've had Season Passes the last 46 years.  We love SDC the way it is.  I really love the look of MME.  I think it will be very popular (and maybe help keep the lines from getting too crazy at the other coasters.  Especially FITH).

Come on guys this is supposed to be a friendly place where anyone can talk about what they think/hope this project may be.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  There's no need to get hostile about it.  It's all for fun and we'll know for sure on the 14th.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this.

Thanks Shave for all your hard work!  I know it's a hassle with all the AI bots.

I found this on Ozarkly: https://www.ozarkly.com/stories/theming-upgrades/

This gentleman works with Robotics for SDC and keeps a lot of the special things about the City going.  The reason I'm posting it to this thread is near the end of the article it states : "He's also busy creating elements for a top-secret project that will be revealed later this season".  Gives me hope that they are really going all out with the theming for the new ride. 

^ Nice pics- thanks for posting!

Yes thank you very much for all your hard work Shave!  Wish I could help you with the issues.

I enjoy your videos on YouTube.  I didn't get to attend last Saturday night's chat.  Do you have it archived?

^ Thanks as always for the updated pictures Swoosh!

^ When we were there on Mother's Day almost all of the rides were down due to a Park-wide power surge.  Eventually everything did come back up but I wonder if they are still having power issues? 

^ Unless there was a newer email sent out since the one I got last August saying something different the wording was "family coaster" but they didn't specify a  time frame.  I figured it was for 2026 but we see how that turned out.

I didn't get screenshots either but here's what I posted after I got the survey with the 3 choice names:




I got an email a couple of hours ago from SDC about the naming of a new family coaster being built.  The name choices were:

Miner's Rush
Prospector's Rush
Daredevil Railway

I was asked which name I preferred (I picked Miner's Rush) and which names fit in with the theme of the park.  I was then asked who I thought the name would appeal to (pre-teens, teens, adults, older adults, etc).  Then I was asked to put the names in order as 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice and I put them in the order above.  The first questions asked were if I and my family were season pass holders and to choose from the last 5 years if we had bought season passes (we have all 5 years).  Unfortunately this sounds like a T-N-T replacement to me.

I'm not trying to be argumentative but I just wonder why do you assume this survey was for a 2029 coaster? SDC calls all their coaster "family coasters".

Because if we decided that the T-N-T replacement is after the current coaster being built then the survey and coaster name choices sound like a T-N-T replacement to me.  Of course we could all be wrong and this could have everything to do with the 2027 project.
