I swear Mizzou never gets respect.
Granted they graduated a lot of people after last season, but still.
I think the South is incorrect as well -- I really think OSU will be the team to beat this season

So we (wife and I) went to Freestyle Music Park today in Myrtle Beach and we couldn't help thinking to ourselves that the theme of this park would be PERFECT for Celebration City. Different sections of the park are themed to different types of music - Rock, Country, Pop, British Invasion - the rides all have on board audio systems (including the coasters). It was so much fun and would be PERFECT for the live entertainment capital of the world.
I just think that a broad theme such as this (music) would be much easier to theme a park after instead of another "time era" like they tried with Celebration City. Yes you have the 1880s at SDC, that doesn't mean you have to keep yourself within your "comfort zone" and do another one just more "modern" in the time you are portraying.
Seriously this would really work if they'd try it and do the theme justice.

I still say that cost over runs and delays on the new parking lots is what caused the delay with the new ride (same song and dance over at Dollywood)

The "pixie dust" does scream Disney doesn't it? That was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. It does look nice though.

Are you talking about a lights on/off ride on Fire in the Hole?
Come to Coaster Christmas and you can get one.

We went last year on the 4th and the park was sooooo dead.
Fireworks around the area include the Landing on the 3rd (which are shot off across the lake up on the bluff). la Chateau on the Lake always has a good display as well, though they seem to shoot off fireworks all the time anymore -- if there is a holiday near by, there are fireworks. lol

^^There are kids at Cedar Fair parks too, but the ride ops there are much better than SF

you can't compare SDC with SF though as the ride ops at ANY SF park are subpar at best.

Still think the Laser/Water show from CC should be moved permanently to Echo Hollow

Went to SDC Sunday and we saw JEERK -- show is way too long and repetitive for my liking.

The Cardinals have traded Chris Perez and a player to be named later for Mark DeRosa, formerly of the Cleveland Indians, last year with the Cubs.
I swear "a player to be named later" sure does get moved around a lot.
