So it's going to be launched. And have a cannon theme? Or be themed to Mrs. Tilley the daredevil?

I hate to be that guy, but here goes.  I honestly didn't think they would announce the new ride, but why make such a spectacle over literally nothing?

"Literally nothing"?? Why, they renamed the boat! Huge news!

Fan Fest was 100% what it was advertised as. No one should have expected a ride announcement since there haz been zero teaser campaign.

They aren't just renaming the Showboat, its getting a remodel, seating arrangement is changing, new show, and new menu. I wouldn't be surprised if the dock area gets a remodel too.

There were a ton of other announcements from merchandise, foods, festivals, concerts, and the new Star, Lights, and Christmas Nights parade. Just because there wasn't a ride announcement doesn't mean that there weren't announcements.

It was a fun event and they did a great job hosting it.

^ From the talk on this board I really wasn't expecting them to announce the new ride for next year.  And yes I thought Choctaw Charlie was entertaining but to me they didn't really have anything I would have considered big for a Fan Fest.  But it was nice for them to have a Season Pass Holder exclusive showing (even if it was streamed to everyone).  We have been Season Pass holders for 35 years now ourselves.  And it was really great of them to offer active military free Season Passes (Season Passports I guess now).  Did you get an ice cream freebie, MG?
