This past weekend I made a spur of the moment decision to buy Gold TB passes and the wife and I headed to the city Friday and Saturday.  Big changes since the last time I was there.  Parking lot situation somewhat confusing as I have been used the lots the way they have been for years.  Park was not super busy but glad I had the TB, especially for FITH.  Speaking of which, it was nice but just doesnt do it for me like the old one.  We upgraded our cups the free refill all season.  I do like this new addition.  I am sure any other changes at the park have been discussed at length already.

Branson seems to me like its even further ran down than the last time.  We stayed at the Thousand Hills hotel which was a first.  It was not bad but the clientel in Branson and at SDC is definitely changing.  Lots of torn down theaters and hotels, some of which is the same state they were 2+ years ago.  Plenty of other closed down hotels.  I see the Moon River appears to be boarded up and abandoned.

My kids are now 23 and 22. Both day they liked the old Rapids and the old FITH better. SDC missed a golden opportunity to make FITH by adding a drop track to the burning bridge. Both think the new ending isn't as thrilling as the old. So, the last two ride projects were "misses".
