Me too!  I've never found that area interesting, but I can see how families would enjoy it.

So, do you ever see Roaring Falls from Celebration City coming over to SDC?

I would hope not. I would rather see an entirely new flume (think splash mountain) or a complete rebuild of AP before another kiddie ride.

I agree, Fix/update/re-work AP before bringing in a cheep looking run-of-the-mill flume ride

Roaring Falls is a chute the chute ride...pretty plain jane. If you want to move it somewhere, put it in the park in Georgia. Who knows, it might fit Dollywood.

Move it to White Water...several water parks have that kind of ride as part of their ride selections.

Yep, a clone of the ride at Celebration City that was at Alabama Adventure just opened up at Shlitterbahn Corpus Christi and today I read where a water park is putting in a slash battle like River Blast. As amusement parks add their water park into the dry side admission, you'll see water only parks go the other way a bit. We see that with the coaster water slides.

I seem to recall a strong rumor from a few years back that said that RF was being strongly considered for SDC, but like many things that were considered around that time it seems to have been put off/delayed/abandoned. In a package deal, it wouldn't be a terrible addition. It's about as unimaginative as a ride can get, and of course we only want SDC to pursue the best ride concepts around, but it would help the crowds on hot days.

I think the chute the chute rides originated at places like Coney Island way back in the 1910's or 1920's when there was no air conditioning. It was a pretty big thrill to get out of the concrete jungle down to the beach and get wet on a chute the chute ride. Fun way of staying cool in the hot summer time.

The Boat Chute at Lake Winnie is the oldest still in operation, built in the late 20s. It's old school.

Thanks for posting! Great set of pics. Looks like a blank slate...for something. I'm curious to see if or how they re-work the backside of GG.

Thanks for the report, Swoosh. I do pine for the days when construction was done completely in winter months and the public never saw it. However, impossible to do today with the expanded season.

They've done quite a bit in the last week.

The size and scope of this project does not allow it.  This will complete redefine this area.
