Well, I really don't know what will happen to the Nativity show. I can't see them abandoning it completely...probably a return to the simpler version as some of you have suggested. I'll see what I can find out.
As for not adding a "big" thing for 2012...I just have to say I think they've been doing a pretty good job of adding new things, especially considering the economic climate that has existed the last half decade. This year they're adding Half Dollar Holler...it's a big thing...maybe not the cup of tea for everyone here, but it is in response to the requests of a lot of families with little ones. In the last decade they've added River Blast, The Giant Swing, The Grand Exposition, Powder Keg, Wildfire. Gone are The Waterboggan, and Splash Harbor. I'm not counting Buzzsaw Falls because it was unpopular and replaced immediately by Powder Keg, so one for one exchange. Anyway, it's not like they've remained static for the last decade.
Last season was a pretty good year for SDC, with attendance pretty much meeting expectations. But the four or five years before that, attendance numbers, and therefore profits, didn't come close to reaching expectations. Yet, they still added new things. I ask you all to realize that SDC does not have unlimited pockets, and be patient. SDC is still the best value for your dollar in the whole area.
