I'd still like to see a revitalized theme park of some sort. We used to love going to SDC during the day and then CC in the evening.

I went to Silver Dollar City a couple weeks ago. I went to the IHOP by Celebration City, and it looked terrible. Pieces of the wood from OzCat were laying on the gravel below! The Ferris Wheel was still standing, and the colors of the building weren't fading at all. It almost looked liked someone was working on it.

Anyways, I have a strange feeling they will turn it into a Victorian-styled night time park. Like California Adventure.

I doubt that wood had just fallen off :P

BTW, aren't you from SGW? If so, this is Beedle :D

Hey beedle!

And yes, I actually saw some pieces of rotting wood on the ground by OzCat.

No, I believe that you did, but what I'm saying is that the ride isn't just falling apart. Those have been there  ;)

Ohh.. I see. Does anyone agree with me on the whole "Victorian-night time" theme?

Definitely post pictures as soon as you are able! Any change, is a sign of some sort of progress so it will be interesting to see what else, if anything sprouts up.

I find it funny though that we all eagle eye the property more than any potential land buyers, or developers do. :D

The church has been there since just shortly after CC closed. There's still a number of employees and other people who use the site (BBBS for example) so I don't imagine they have the place on lock down, but you're right that you shouldn't try to go in.

Thanks for the pics.

right on! I guess i missed any conversation on the church.

I knew about the Girls scouts? is that right?

There were 2 or 3 vehicles parked next to what appeared to be a maint. bldg just west of the church.

It just does not look like it would take too much to put this park back into use.

Actually, the church, or a church, was there before CC closed.  It's in one of the old theater buildings.  We saw the signs on the doors several times before CC closed.

There is nothing wrong with a little religion on Sunday mornings, and a little wooden rollercoaster riding in the afternoons. :P
