I just hope that Silver Dollar City never loses the charm in favor of big rides. The reason I love Silver Dollar City is because of it's beauty and the fun I can have with my family. In fact the last time my family went, we spent all day just for the rides, and still didn't get all of them in.....we remarked that one of these times, we are just going to come one day and not ride anything (just see the shows, visit the shops, take the cave tour). There is so much to do at the park already so I wouldn't mind them taking a few years just to really fix up what they already have.
It would be nice to have American Plunge, Flooded Mine and Fire in the Hole made back into the signature rides they once were. Just imagine top notch quality dark ride sections for those rides combined with what already makes them great. Thunderation is a great mine coaster, just finish it off with the covered last drop to keep you in theme and from seeing the backstage areas of the park. Just little stuff like this would keep me happy.
I'm probably in the minority, but I'm not completely excited about a new B&M taking out a bunch of trees (like what was done on Wildfire). I'm sure whatever is done will be great, and that I'll have fun. Swoosh seems excited, so maybe I shouldn't be so pessimistic, but I just want the park to always stay true to its roots.
