Here is my 1st big expansion for the park. It would be placed in the Old Fire in the hole building to save money, or just tear down the building but that would take longer. It checks all the boxes. Family thrill ride, indoor attraction which can run in any weather and can be updated by changing the movie. For most of the year would run a movie "Soaring Over the Ozarks" as
someone created a Flying Carriage and during Christmas it could have Santa Sleighride experience. It is a new kind of motion theatre. I was at the park last week in the rain and much of the rides were down. This would always be open. Also this side of the park needs an attraction as if Powder Keg is down there is nothing to draw guests,Intamin Motion Theatre link

I'd love something like that... maybe for harvest fest a bat journey and you join the bats flying out of marvel cave.

I really expect within 1-2 years they will pull the plug on it.

I'm a little underwhelmed by the concept art in the reveal video. Based on the survey they sent out about themes for the resort several months ago I was expecting a more themed exterior that would be more of a lodge vibe. this looks very modern generic resort.

Probably just a "starter" resort with standard amenities and around 250 rooms.

This is about what I'm expecting too.

I'm expecting it to be a "luxury rural/'hillbilly'" theme if that makes any sense. "Luxury" materials, but styled to be old and rustic essentially them heavily leaning in to an "Experience the Ozarks" message, but no actual "old-scool" substance behind it.

Maybe I'm completely off though, this is all a guess based off what I've seen with the park lately.

Yeah, luxury hillbilly sounds right, maybe lean into the home of American craftsmanship.

I'm thinking 250-300 rooms

Very nice

Renewal seems to be live on the website, I haven't gone all the way through it, but it is showing pass prices

Silver $135
Gold: $195
Diamond: $255

I don't see the details for what the perks are for each pass level, but it shows 7baf and 2 white water baf for diamonds(and all day mug), 5 baf for gold(and all day mug), and 1 baf for silver. It does not show the dates for any of those BAF.

it has a 10 month payment plan as an option

Given that tickets are now like $92 for a day ticket, I'm expecting passes to go up $15-$20 over last years rates, maybe a little more for gold/diamond.

Somewhere I heard the renewal price is going to be 10% less than the starting price.

New teaser trailer was posted on Facebook

It has the date of the big announcement and a short drone clip of the woods/hills to the west of the park looking east to where you can see outlaw run and powder keg or wildfire(I think it was wildfire but wasn't 100% sure)

I love the idea of the resort including a theater. A lumberjack dinner theater would be nice, but even just a standard theater that could host a variety of shows would be great.

Thanks for the update

Yeah... I'm still shocked it went through... regulators were asleep on the job.

Sure Disney and universal see more guests, but six fairs now has such a dominant percentage of the regional theme park market. Many markets it's the only player.

What I think we. will see:
path/traffic flow improvements, repair/replacement of a few small things here and there(possible expansion of mobile ordering), they will really focus hype on the new festival replacing Street Fest. possibly a new summer show.

maybe some work on the entrance plaza area

Does Flarum have a way to react to posts without commenting?

I frequently want to thank people for a post or just give them a thumbs up, but don't have anything substantial to say in a comment.

I too enjoy perusing the archives. And having some discussions with fellow fans away from the mess on Facebook fan groups.

I appreciate that even though we don't all agree here we can do so respectfully and have good discussions about a park we love.

Some alternative train robbery shows, it would be really fun if they had different versions that tied into the festivals.


More street performers.


Scavenger hunts.(a new one for each festival)

An augmented reality tour or tours of the park(you could have a history one, a behind the scenes, numbers geeks...) that would work from within the app and as you approach a certain part of the park it would launch a short audio clip telling you about that area.

I'm really hoping for an omnimover ride or a trackless ride. But I don't know that either of those are very likely.

I think they have 1-2 moderate projects(retracking thunderation could be one) then a resort, then a new area.
