SDC's 2017 Project Part 2

[Madtwins]

I rember watching salvage dogs I think they did 2 episodes when geyser gulch was removed and they had a lot of those pieces for sale

When they take down an old attraction like this, does it all go in a dumpster, or could there be opportunities for fans like us to get our hands on some nostalgic pieces? I bought an old Frisco Silver Dollar Line sign that was salvaged from a train car in an antique store a few years ago. I would love to get my hands on an original Andy Miller piece somewhere if I could.

I remember reading on this forum a few years ago that SDC wasn't real nostalgic about stuff like this. However, I think there would be a small market for "SDC Chic" nostalgic pieces.

Look for it to go to the dumpster,,  The PTB wont mess with it the trouble of trying to market the items..

If they can get the publicity of a TV show out of it, that's one thing, but SDC isn't worried about a potential $2,000 worth of "collectible memorabilia" that pretty much only us weird fans would enjoy. You wouldn't believe what they throw away. The Geyser Gulch thing was a rare opportunity that probably won't come around again.

LOL!  I think I take offense to that!!

Ha ha...some people want a Picasso, I want an Andy Miller! 

[Injun Joe]

WHATEVER happened to my cave anyway?   Or was it just a dream?

[Duelist]

Ha ha...some people want a Picasso, I want an Andy Miller! 

That would be great though I'd also settle for a Russell or a Remington!

[Swoosh]

So... this is the first I've heard of this.  Anyone know more?

[sanddunerider]

have not heard anything yet,  hard to believe this is all new to us....

I got an email earlier about this.  It was almost like they were revisiting my seasons pass purchase asking me to spend a little more.  I dont go to WW ever, the lack of shade is bad for my old skin.
I went to DW Water Park a cpl years back and it was very nice, but again no shade unless you wanted to buy a cabana for $350 a day not including admission.  Come on guys...........

Try the White Water near Atlanta.  They've got more shade than you'd believe.   Its been a quarter century since I visited and nearly as long since I've donned trunks,  but it looks about the same on satellite maps.  It's like the extreme opposite of Branson's in the shade department.   Ive heard the original Sclitterbahn is pretty shaded too.  I think Hurricane Harbor has a nice mix from what I remember.  I visited there with family and just lounged under a nice sunscreen they had up by the wave pool.  What Branson White needs is a mascot. I nominate. ..[/URL]

Still have stuff for sale

[sanddunerider]

Hmm..??  i think i see why that stuff is still for sale....

I got the times less than a week ago and I dont know how I completely overlooked that.
They dont have much shade, so if you dont want to burn, you have to wear a shirt. I always wear a long sleeve compression shirt because they dont allow lose fitting shirts on body slides. If you want shade, you have to find a chair under a free cabana or buy your own cabana for $100+. They have very few trees and I understand why. They want you to buy something or come prepaired. This makes more room for fun. To avoid crowding this thread with WW, I will post the rest over there. I had to post this here since others were posting about WW. Admin, feel free to move these.
