Since it was released by someone else - can confirm now that the HH restrooms have been completely redone for this season

Did they keep urinals that go all the way to the floor? My kid loves those.

They did not.

Bringing back the old-fashioned group troughs, are they?

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?

Weird how they deleted your other reply - it's a valid question to ask. Dangling a carrot in-front of those wanting to know just makes it seem like it's for an ego-boost.

It was my reply that got deleted. It's not the first time, but I don't hold it against shave at all. I understand he tries to keep things non-personal...and

It was my reply that got deleted. It's not the first time, but I don't hold it against shave at all. I understand he tries to keep things non-personal...and we have some strong personalities here.

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.

Oh 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.

Sounds like what they really need is an extreme coaster flat ride that can accommodate the whole family including infants and great-grandparents while staying totally in theme like Miss Mary's Day.

Oh, and make it a dark ride mountain coaster water plunge theme just to cover all bases.

I think you're on to something!

There is a flying theater at Beyond the Lens on the strip.

Looks like the side of Fire in the Hole may be getting a huge billboard facing the highway.

Seems like a no-brainier to me.

It took me a couple of visits to figure out that the star would show me all unread posts since last visit (the way I prefer to view all forums).

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?

^ I still disagree. We just had the Arkansas State Fair.  You can ride bumper cars there. I don't want them at Silver Dollar City. Just my opinion.

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.

I'm here!

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.
