SDC's 2012 Project

^^That's what I'm hoping. It definitely seems logical as they're well beyond their original stated time frame to get something moving on the property and 2012 is as good a year to make that move as anything. In some ways I'd rather they sell off the place piecemeal and invest in a couple of large-scale quality rides and attractions for SDC, but if they can bring back OzCat in 2012 I'll call it even.

"Guess we will wait and see"

There's a rumor that SDC may be working on some sort of new show/interactive experience that either entails motion simulation or heavy use of animatronics, or both. The details sound sketchy, but it's something to think about.

Would that be the show in Red Gold, or something else?

Are we going to get Heartsong too?

If they were to incorperate all of these features, I would daresay it will be in a NEW building/location.

ANd if it does happen that way it will be great!

Anyone heard any new news?

"Motion Simulation" ?? -- Yep, its gonna be the Diving Bell

Junior · April 22, 2011, 09:42:54 PM

Hmmm...diving bell? We'll see. I wouldn't think so. If they do that, they will have to find some young guys to play "Junior" 'cause me and the other guys that used to do that are between 45-55 years of age now! LOL!

sanddunerider · April 23, 2011, 10:25:49 AM

I bet there are some "younger" volunteers available... But Expierence is hard to beat!!

hey Junior haven't you heard of evolution? Capt. Junior Dugan ?

Junior · May 15, 2011, 04:27:41 PM

CAPTAIN JUNIOR DUGAN! Well now, Hmmmmmm...I think I COULD GET USED TO THAT! LOL

I found this: http://www.jimdavisdesign.com/portfolio/grizzly-encounter/

It's probably the source of the earlier rumor. As with the case of the CC artwork earlier, if you can find it online, it means the park must have turned it down. Still, it might imply that the park has played with the idea of having an interactive show of some kind again.

Nice find Shave!

I may be alone in this boat, but I am glad they left the “Grizzly Encounter” on the cutting room floor. With that being said, a well themed show would be okay.

However, I am still holding out that something major will be done with the old Waterboggan area. Beating a dead horse am I? Perhaps. However, I doubt that will come to light by 2012. There is still hope for 2013.

Since no major construction, or announcements have taken place, I believe it is safe to assume that 2012 will feature another small scale attraction such as the interactive show rumor.

sanddunerider · May 23, 2011, 07:56:37 PM

ok, so that is interesting shave. wonder what else is on the drawing board... or what's on the floor as ozark said.. ??

DollarCityBoy · May 24, 2011, 09:13:50 AM

That's the silliest idea I have ever seen! Thats like a bear verson of Stitch's Great Escape in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. That just seems so out of place for SDC, just weird....just weird.

!!!BRING BACK THE DIVING BELL!!!
