If I had to guess I'd say the station area will be past PK's first hill. 
There is a reason why nothing will be out over by the waterfall but I'm not sure how common knowledge it is - so I'll refrain.

Swoosh, that's not nice! 

I'm pretty sure that the reason was disclosed in a prior thread but don't ask me which thread!

That is exactly what I have been wondering, as well. We all know they have a lot of land over there but if they put this thing between PK and Wildfire, does that close all that off?

Are you thinking there will be more done than working on the mill and moving the kiddie rides to HDH?

Agree. Agree. I wonder if it has any relation to the Fritz's Railroad Restaurants that are popular in Kansas City?

It's called Fritz's Adventure. Multi Story Interactive Adventure. According to the ever reliable Twitter!

Like I said earlier I am almost certain the Lease was for 1 square mile surrounding the cave.

Yeah you were close, for sure! A lot more than I was thinking. It is showing 582 acres owned by the School/Church. 640 acres is a square mile. And the majority of the missing 58 acres? The Wilderness which is owned by Silver Dollar City Inc. I noticed the address of the School/Church is listed as the same Dallas, TX address as all the Silver Dollar City properties in Stone County. Let me throw another one out there, was  the initial 99 year lease for $1?

I was like Shave and thought they College/Church didn't own very much but, according to the Stone County GIS, they own a lot more than I thought (all of the current park, parking lots and across the road back to the Wilderness). However, Silver Dollar City Inc and HFEC each own several tracts of land around that area.

Correct me if I am wrong but I do not think they own the land. It is still on the 99 year lease from the Lynch sisters. Someone who knows correct me if this is not true.

And I may be wrong too but I was thinking the original land that includes the cave that was once part of the Lynch family has since been deeded over to College of the Ozarks and then Silver Dollar City and/or HFE owns several hundred acres around that original parcel of land. This would mean the park actually sits on land that it doesn't own even though HFE owns several hundred contiguous acres right there.

Again, I may be completely off base.

I'm still not looking for too much for 2016, but I would think if the summer ends strong and they have a decent flat ride addition in the pipeline, that could happen.

Is there any guesstimate to the summer attendance yet? Good? Bad? Average?

One would assume that nothing new at all will come in 2016 since we are in mid July with no signs of anything?
