Hmmm, I guess I don't understand your question.  The attendance was up actually by quite a lot.  SDC outdrew all of the other parks in Missouri and almost SFStL and WOF combined last year.

The hourly employees won't know a thing and honestly I STRONGLY ADVISE NOT asking them.  As was mentioned it annoys the heck out of some of them as they don't know or care and are just as surprised when it is announced as you are.

$26 for ACE/SDC passholder members is a steal

We might be down after the MU-Texas A&M game, but have no time frame.  Probably would be an "in and out" trip for PR stuff...

The real meet up will be on Dec 1st if you want to come

No, but it sounds like someone else has bought the Red Roof Outlet Mall -- it will be interesting to see what they do with it.

Jack Rabbit is not going anywhere anytime soon.
2008 will bring a nice addition to the park, however it does not sound like it will be going where Chaos was

Crystal has confirmed that the completion date for the connection lot between A&C is by Family Spring Break Weekends in March.  There has not been a date set for the movement of Indian Point Road as that is a TIFF project and is mandated by local and state rules

Sidewinder from Wild West World has been bought by HFEC, but I have yet to hear where it is headed.

Genesis said at Media Day this Spring that next year would be a "medium cap" year... FYI The Grand Expo was considered a "medium cap" year as well.  However 2009 would be the next "large cap" year.  PowderKeg was the last "large cap" year.

2008 is supposed to be the "biggest" season for Celebration City yet.  Announcement is supposed to come just before Christmas

Unfortunately, they haven't participated in any of the online attendance-releases, so one can't really know how well they are doing except by word of mouth.

Not true, you just have to know who to ask.
2006 attendances for all 3 parks
Silver Dollar City 2.07 million.
Celebration City 331,000
White Water 250,000.

We're doing two weeks back to back as well.  I say go for it, but remember that the mail-in cut off is this Friday (postmarked)

Ah, well perhaps you are asking the wrong employees then.
