Just got back from 2 and a half days at SDC. For me the way to make it better is to make it more like it was. My wife and I used to love to get a piece of pie each from Mary's Pie Shop to have for a mid-day snack. That was when they used to have a whole lot of pies to choose from. Now they have maybe 2 different choices: cheesecake of strawberry pie. We used to love the cream and meringue pies! Also, as I've said before, we really miss the old shows. I got to talk to Terry Saunders yesterday and told him how much I miss the courthouse show, the Hatfield Haint, the old Saloon shows, etc. He said he misses those shows as well. We managed to catch 2 of the street shows but even those aren't the productions they used to be. We've watched the street shows the last couple of years and I haven't seen anyone pulled from the crowds to participate. Of course, the main thing I hear from people standing in queue lines is that they'd like to see more rides. SDC has survived for over 50 years now by providing quality family entertainment. I just hope they keep trying to make sure it remains the magical place we all know it can be.
