^I agree with Swoosh, here.  A new craft demonstration is fine for marketing to a niche demographic, and that's all we'd see if SDC was only a frontier park.  But SDC aspires to be a top theme park destination in the midwest, so therefore additions are geared to attracting a diverse demographic.

I think new craft demonstrations are coming, though, if last year's survey is any indication.

I am glad that the area is going to be cohesive, and hopefully when the fall and winter roll around we will be dazzled with how they keep the area alive.

Old Time Christmas, this year, will include the new Tom and Huck's Curvy Ice Rink - NEW FOR 2010 only at SDC!!!

Ha. You made me laugh out loud for real.

I don't see why they can't add some new craft demonstrations around their new rides and theme them to fit the rides. Instead of the stupid games they put with TGS.

I don't think they give much thought into how these rides are going to be enjoyed by the patrons much after September or early October.  If they did, they would be investing in something besides water rides.

It just isn’t that simple and there is something much lager going on here. Why is the Waterboggan and Splash Harbor gone? You will see in the future. They have to move things around and change things to make preparations for future growth. The Attractions side of SDC is restructuring for growth, merchandise has been pretty solid for a while. However, you will see growth in all divisions in the future.

I sometimes worry too, but I think you will be happy when everything comes to fruition.

Considering Old Time Christmas is their most popular festival, and more often than not, the temperatures tend to be on the no-rides-operating level, I imagine they don't really think much about whether or not rides can operate during the later months.

OR if you have been playing along at home you'd already know the answer to this.
I'm just sayin'

Copper are you working opening week at all?  I'd like to meet up again if you are.

[Copper]

I would like to too; I'll be there Thu, Sat and Sun.

[Swoosh]

lol.  Of course the one day that'd I'm going to be there is the one day you will not.  Such is life.  Well, I'll have to catch you some other time. 

[Copper]

That would be my luck, I'm sure I will see you sometime this season!

[Copper]

Splash Harbor needed a lot of restructuring work and SDC felt that it wouldn't be financially sound to fix it and instead place the money and attention to River Blast. As I said before what will be replacing the Waterboggan shouldn't be a disappointment.

[Swoosh]

^I just hope they go for a longer version and one that is unique to SDC.
