Huh? Wha? Am I lost? What is this place? Of course I meant to post in the '08 thread, but after all this time, we might as well call the new project NEW for '09, doncha think?

I'll repost in the correct thread. Sorry.

so are the balloons coming back?

Swoosh · September 16, 2008, 12:07:32 PM

Eventually or so we've been told. No specifics on where they will end up though in the park.

Interesting that we haven't seen any new clearings for it pop up, or maybe we just haven't looked recently? I'll be down in a couple of weeks hopefully, so I'll definitely be poking around the Grand Expo for new markings. Didn't we determine that the markings several months ago weren't for it? If it doesn't pop up there, I don't know where they'll put it. Maybe they can fit it back into the new landing?

That's another thing, I'm dying to find out about the new landing. The Splash Battle is cool, but what I really want to know is whether they'll bring in some cool new playground equipment or not.

Hell, we don't even know what the Splash Battle will be like, other than that it will keep true to the Tom Sawyer theme (something for which I can never stop saying how grateful I am). It'd be cool to see a reference to the half-sunken steam boat in the book - like having half of a steam boat sticking out of the water at an angle.

That's the type of theming I'm hoping for. I'm dying to know more details about this project, but I think it'll be another 3 to 4 weeks before we hear anything.

Even then, the jury will be out until Spring Break. This is going to be the project to watch in order for us to determine their commitment to theme, authenticity, and originality - the three magic components of SDC.

Try 5-6 if what I heard, sounds like Mid-October is when they are going to start the season pass renewal drive and that is when the additions to all of the Branson properties will be announced.

^Mid-October is in four weeks.

Swoosh · September 18, 2008, 04:37:43 PM

It wasn't when I posted that

marolinesdad · September 21, 2008, 10:35:05 AM

Any new pics of the area. I wish they would have a update on the SDC site like they did on the Swing.

Swoosh · September 21, 2008, 10:59:07 AM

Still a hole from what I hear

--they will have a project watch on their site once they announce what "IT" is.

History Buff · September 22, 2008, 05:08:17 PM

Latest view: what's that train engine doing way down in that hole?

And the water features are OFF.

sdcforever · September 22, 2008, 05:52:10 PM

^Weird. Maybe they wanted to put the train engine somewhere for safekeeping?
