Construction/Rumors / Re: Future SDC Development Speculation (Long-term)
« on: August 20, 2023, 10:20:19 AM »
Random Thought: If ThuNderaTion gets demo'ed before the decade is out, I could live with a nice twisty terrain GCI with some tunnels in its footprint with a similar theme. The landscape of this park could really benefit from a traditional wood coaster or two. Holiday World's woodies being a good example of making use of the hilly wooded terrain.

Not to take away from the hype of the new FITH, but something that has bugged me since the announcement is the coaster in the background on their announcement page. That IS NOT Wildfire or Powderkeg. The layout is all wrong. Other theme park and coaster enthusiasts have already caught onto it as well speculating that this is a terrain hyper coaster being teased. Might be a stretch but yet seems plausible. It would definitely give Mamba at WOF a run for its money which I suspect SDC would try to do now that WOF finally got a new major coaster. (even if wood Zinger was a loose remake of the classic)

If they somehow don't do the resort announcement later with FITH2 opening it may be with this mystery coaster. Many people continue to echo that SDC will be seeing major rapid expansion like Dollywood just did.

It would also be interesting if they were to do walk thru tours or something of the old ride before it is removed.

I am hoping this will happen for Coaster Christmas. Perhaps tours of both? Might be a stretch but if they were to do it I'd definitely attend and I bet they would have a pretty good turnout for it.

Yeah I never got the media invite for this either. Though with Lisa gone I suspect a lot of her contacts didnt get passed on to the new guy.

This provides a good summary comparison if SDC is indeed following Dollywoods evolution as a park. https://www.themeparkarchive.com/parks/dollywood
Unlike SDC, Dollywood doesn't have a main coherent theme that fits any single time period. They got 1880's, 1920's, and 1950's themed areas/attractions along with several other attractions with fantasy/nature focused themes with no explicit time period.

I have noticed too the "You've got a great past ahead of you." quote seems to be used less and less at SDC.

Yeah the new Tool Booth/Parking/Entrance setup is very reminiscent to Dollywood's, I also expect the park to formally break away from its central theme and have themed sectors like Dollywood or Disney in the near future.

^very much this, I put it right up there with Bells returning with the likelihood of this happening. Especially on a Disney-esque scale. Seems to be a bit of a stretch.

A major support structure on Carowinds Fury 325 has completely broken apart and the track is visibly floating. You can see the separation clearly as the train flies thru the track. Do note this coaster has some pretty intense G's and has a top speed of 95mph. I have been on this coaster and that is pretty shocking to see, especially for a B&M thats less than 10 years old.

I'd like to know if this literally just happened or has maintenance been cutting back on inspections?

Video of the separation while the coaster passes thru:

I am expecting something similar to how Zambezi Zinger was revived at Worlds Of Fun. It will have the same name, but a much different ride experience.
