^ That's good news they are getting another one.  I would hate to see the knife making demonstrations go away.

^ From the talk on this board I really wasn't expecting them to announce the new ride for next year.  And yes I thought Choctaw Charlie was entertaining but to me they didn't really have anything I would have considered big for a Fan Fest.  But it was nice for them to have a Season Pass Holder exclusive showing (even if it was streamed to everyone).  We have been Season Pass holders for 35 years now ourselves.  And it was really great of them to offer active military free Season Passes (Season Passports I guess now).  Did you get an ice cream freebie, MG?

Yes the Fan Fest was Shakespearean: Much Ado About Nothing

It's Big Reveal Day!!

^ Well I may have to give T-N_T another chance when we go in October then.  It's been a couple of years since we've ridden because the last time I did it hurt my back enough that I had trouble walking the next day.

^ And/or fixed Thunderation.

^ I guess we'll know when they make the announcement for what's new for 2026 during the September 27th rally.

^ Great pictures!  I gained 10 pounds just looking at the cookie sundae LOL

^ Not completely but at least this does tell us it will be a new family coaster.  That was the rumor we have been talking about but this seems to confirm it - whatever the name.  And I was encouraged that they asked which name seemed to fit the theme of SDC most and why.  I picked Miner's Rush as the 1st choice because that seemed to fit in most with an 1880s mining theme park.

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. 

^ The "Stars" make it sound like another drone show.  The one this summer was very good!

So where did you end up going, mg?

^ If nothing or little why would they go to the trouble of having a FanFest?

^ Maybe water elements will be included in the new ride: Buzzsaw Falls 2.0 ? 

^ I personally thought the show they did was lame.  Not like the old days of Rodney Dillard or the Branson Brothers <sigh>
