Might it "interact with AP" until AP is eventually removed, as in it's going to ultimately replace the old flume ride with something better?

Strong personalities is an accurate term. You guys need to recognize that in Swoosh. He doesn't even get to post a mild tease (i.e., "chuckling") anymore before some attack him for being pompous. The truth is, Swoosh knows who he is, and his posts grow more direct and blunt when you attack him.
Shave is not the only one here who can delete or ban. In the interest of transparency, once in a blue moon, I jump in to try to get us back on topic and avoid accelerating these controversies. That may not be the best approach on my part, but the last thing we need is to constantly erupt into eruption because we don't understand the true intention (or strong personality) behind somebody else's post. I apologize if my actions upset anyone: I just wanted to get back to the fun conjecture and wild ideas that make the SDCFans forum worth coming back to.

February 06, 2025, 09:14:10 AMQuote from: cowboy on February 05, 2025, 07:16:18 PMOh my, Swoosh, send me all the hints, laugh at my posts, I don't care. The board at least is having some movement now. We all know Swoosh has some inside information - but I know working for parks and others - that information can change at a moment's notice. Heck Taylor Swift drops hints in posts, pictures, etc. all the time without saying anything...that's one of the reasons my daughter is obsessed because she's always trying to figure out something before the announcement. So, Swoosh drop all the hints you can, dangle those carrots, let's have fun with this...

I completely agree, Jay.

Oh, and make it a dark ride mountain coaster water plunge theme just to cover all bases.
I think you're on to something!

I know Shave will be updating the look and feel after making everything function correctly. So far, I'm not having any trouble at all.
Enlighten me please.
On forums, I like to see a list of all new posts since my last visit. That way I don't have to dig through the different categories.
With the new software, that's done by just clicking the star just under the Home/Search/Visitors bar. I attached a screenshot.
You cannot view this attachment.
Thank you. That's what I was missing!
Are the posts all stacked with the latest listed fits in the first page now?

Fully agree Duelist!

"Priority park access"
Does anyone else think the new plaza looks like an eventual second park entrance for the resort?

You're definitely right about Six Flags. Texas used to be heavily themed to the actual six nations represented by the flags.
People at Dollywood last year asked us how it compares with SDC and it was hard to say. In many ways, they two are still similar, but the theme of Dollywood is more location-based and not limited to a time period. Who knows if SDC will go a similar route. I hope they do not. It strangely works for Dollywood though.
I, for one, cannot stand the generic shows and completely out-of-theme acts though. They completely ruin my experience and the illusion. They claim, "You have a great past ahead of you," but they doing tell you that sometimes it's the 1880s and sometimes it's the 1980s.

Exactly the reason for SDC to identify as being in the Ozark Mountains and not Branson

I think the award is also for Theme Park - which Silver Dollar City does extremely well. Yes, they could use a nice long ride (hyper or giga) but the ones they have were top of their game when installed. But the main reason my family loves going to SDC over anywhere else is because there is something for everyone: Shows, Rides, Shopping, and Food. Also, the cave is pretty cool too.
Same reason my family loves to go to Busch Gardens, Sea World Orlando, Disneyland, etc. There is more to do than just rides, carnival games, and bad food.
I'm not 100% sure how SDC beats out Universal, or some Disney parks - but SDC does an excellent job campaigning for their park.
Jay
Agreed about what is offered.
As for Universal and Disney, the company machines are completely different. I can't imagine that they really care about these awards. You don't need the endorsement of a non-scientific poll when you are already at the level everyone else can only dream of reaching and when you have the IPs and other supports to lean on.

As a confirmed member of the Not In Miss Mary's Day club, I'd like to see the signs be hand painted again, and not computer printed.
They replaced quite a few sings this season and they are hand painted.
Anyone seen the TV screen menus at the new Sadie's Pretzel Dog Place? Ugh.
