It WON'T be a Zipline. End of story.

Agreed.

Looking at this aerial photo....there is plenty of room in that area for Silver Dollar City to build what ever they wanted. You could relocate the employee parking and build a massive roller coaster in that area. They could even build a loop into the G.E. and expand the G.E. to include several more rides.

^A loop would also require theming the back side of Red Gold, which often needs vehicles to transport things in and out. Plus I think it's a nice feature of GE that there is only one way in and out (less possibility of losing a child into the whole park). Traffic in this one entrance is usually not too bottlenecked like the area by the saloon all the way to the River Blast.

^ yeah, I'm no expert on the daily operations of the park and the logistics that are required to make it operate. I was just impressed with the overall size of land that could be available for development (if you weren't limited by operations and parking).

there does seem to be some additional room to expand into if need be..Must be a reason they are not using the "available" area

I know we haven't even started the 2011 season yet and HDH is not even complete, but I was just wondering if anybody has heard anything on SDC's 2012 project...Not to be ungrateful for what we currently have, but it seems like Dollywood has gotten all the big attractions lately...Just wondering when it's SDC's turn...

Junior · February 21, 2011, 05:12:10 PM

In 2012, you will see an innovative, unique, one of a kind attraction...a Saturn Rocket ride! Themed 1880's style...it will be called "Doc Harris' Roman Candle." Each of the three rockets have their own nicknames, 1) Fireball Express 2) Tail of the Dragon 3) Light my Fire.

(Just kidding! The park has not announced anything at this point!

Wouldn't it be great to have a book of Doc Harris's inventions, complete with concept art from the mind of this genius?

crash · February 21, 2011, 08:46:28 PM

I think it would be really cool to put in one of those new B&M 4th dimension coasters!!! May be one of docs newest flying invention? I garuntee it wouldn't happen. But a person can dream right?

History Buff · February 21, 2011, 08:48:47 PM

Too many "Doc" inventions would change the park to a steampunk theme. I'd like a park with that theme, but it shouldn't overrun SDC.

*now humming Light My Fire by THe Doors* Thanks a lot. That'll be stuck in my head the rest o the day!

Junior · February 22, 2011, 04:51:44 PM

Light my fire, huh? Well, that's better than the tune "Musicbox Dancer!"

sanddunerider · February 22, 2011, 05:03:50 PM

OH NO!! Already starting the song list for midnite madness!!??

I have always felt that DW seemed to get the newest first, expecially with the "big" things. Wonder why? Do they get more visitors than SDC?

I guess I would just assume that the space would be used for something similar to the MM at DW. Would be fine with me.
