Considering the amount of people bemoaning the loss of various kid's attractions at the park and complaining that the happy frogs are the only thing their small child can do, this looks like just the thing for the park.
I respectfully disagree. And I'm curious how anyone with children could argue that there's nothing for their kids to do in the park. On the contrary, I feel SDC's attractions are already too heavily geared toward a younger target audience. We brought our two year old with us last September and he was able to go on everything in the park except the electrospin, TNT, PK, WF and TGS. That's five rides folks. Five. And had RB been open he would have been able to go on that as well.
An Adventure Mountain type attraction may have it's place at SDC, but NOT NOW. I appreciate the fact that HFEC has built the park to cater to the entire family, but they must continue to add thrill rides if they're going to be able to keep the park thriving. Sure, SDC is somewhat of a niche destination given the theme and craftsmen angle, but alienating guests who also want to visit for big rides would not be a wise or popular move. And they've already proven that fact. Just look at the park 10 years ago
compared to today. In the year 2000, SDC operated without WF, PK, TGS, GE and RB. Virtually all of the major attractions at the park we love today weren't there a decade ago. That's good news that HFEC is in-tune with not only what guests crave, but what they need to add to remain competitive as well.
That said, bring on more thrills. It's time.
