Random Talk / Your Travels Thread for 2023
January 03, 2023, 05:07:19 PM
Last year I somehow managed to not hit a single park with a coaster. It was for trying, things never lined up.

I did see Crater Lake in the Snow, tidal pools, whales, reqlly big tree, Kodiak beara, orcas in the wild, a huge school of humpbacks, seals and eagles on ice bergs, glaciers galore, mountain goats on 9k ridges and yellow aspens galore in Colorado. It was a good year if travel as the wife and I transition to traveling without kids in tow.

This year will be different. I'm hitting some parks that I need to check off over the summer. I'm only working 4 days a week and 5 weeks of vacation as I hit my 50th year giving me very long weekends and time to take off and I got a ton of points.

Whats for sure is a 10 day New England foilage drive the last week of Sept/first week of Oct. Got the flight and rooms booked for that already.

We've been there with wind chills around -30.  There were about 1000 visitors in the park.  I was told they wouldn't close early as long as there were guests on park.  They will close with winter weather moving in.  The last half of December is supposed to be well below normal temps so I would think lighter crowds.

There is a growing chance of white stuff the week before and after Christmas.

With things moving along now, I wonder if they'd give thought to having 2024 Season Pass holder previews during Old Time Christmas next season as an incentive to purchase early.

They wanted you to pass thru the marketplace for last minute buys but the Christmas rushes to the gates overwhem it. I assume it's getting to be the same with the Pumpkin thing. It is like they need an overflow exit for these events.

You know Whitewater is in line for replacement with the land purchases and resort rumors. The complete lack of investment there tells you this as well.

Does SDC go above and beyond with an additional Great Wolf sized indoor waterpark feature to the rumored resort. More like Gaylord in Nashvegas.

I absolutely could see Dollywood going to year-round operations sooner rather than later, but I don't get the impression that it's coming for SDC.

In order for that to be feasible, there would need to be year-round interest in Branson as a destination. I'm certainly not local, so I can't pretend to be an expert, but I don't get the sense that there's a ton of interest in coming to Branson during January/February. If Branson itself won't draw people then, I don't picture SDC being any different.

A.Great Wolf tupemofnplace.could do that. Sorry, 5he one on the strip.doesn't qualify.

Where is the Mattle themed water park resort in Hollister at  development wise.

This seems like a project that is becoming more and more a 2024 one. Maybe the supply chain issue wrecked their schedule like so many other things. No announcement this late is a good indicator.

I'm at port in Sitka right now but this is from last Monday Morning at Crater Lake in the snow

Beautiful photo!

Snowed on the way up, snowed 4inches while there and snowed on the way down.  I'm watching all the sea planes come back from their 5 glacier and taku glacier tours

Other Parks / Re: Bell's Developments

Well it hasn't fallen through yet! Like the article states, it's the Santa Cruz boardwalk people involved, as in owners of an existing amusement park. I think Bell's involvement may be getting curtailed, but that doesn't mean we won't be getting a park of some sort. It just remains to be seen if it will be anything like Robby described earlier and I have a feeling it won't. Our own version of the boardwalk would be badass though. Just give me a decent coaster, seriously.

Or maybe a comparison to Kemah is even better? Kemah is a ton of fun.

I imagine they saw the value in the name but that isndisappearing fast. If they wan a Kemah type development, they need to talk the City of Memphis about Mud Island smack dab in the middle of two major interstates.and growing river cruise port.
