"old and reliable" screams B & M to me.

"Old and reliable" an S&S drop tower?

Geez. I always though "OLD & RELIABLE" was my uncles old (black on black 4 door 1957 Chevy Belair)  I mean it still runs. No I mean I actually drove it myself this very day. Yes I really did. It is a land barge, all original no PS no PB 2 speed power glide auto trans. Dad & I had to put a new brake cylinder on it today and I was the "UN"lucky duck who got to test drive afterwards.

Here I go again, adding a humorous twist to ever subject.
Give me a break all. My vacation started today, so Im kinda happy

If Swoosh is telling the truth about "old and reliable" then we are definitely getting a B&M.  There is no other ride manufactuer more reliable than B&M.

[Grapeslie]

Well and throughout the Enthusiast Community as well as the Theme Park Industry B&M is known as the MOST reliable ride manufacturer. Seems reliable but who knows! Either way I trust SDC to make a wise choice.

If we have to have some type of drop tower ride in the future, I sure hope it is something in line of Tower Of Terror with a good storyline and suspense and not just a big pole with seats hanging on it. Can you tell that I hate drop tower rides.

Drop Tower rides are rather faux passé anymore.  For what it is worth.

Amen Swoosh, and frankly not worth a long wait.  I would not care if they brought over the drop tower from CC theme it nicely and put it in the Grand Exposition  .  My prediction would be many would be disappointed in the thrill it provides.

I have no complaints about the new additions. My concerns about theme are minor details that have a major impact on feel, like computer printed signs instead of hand painting.

When they add modern touches like QR codes for mobile apps and the Facebook page, I wish there was more creativity. Doc Harris is the park's mad scientist and futurist, so such touches should be themed in his style.

I will always lament the loss of live craftsmen and the living history nature of the park, but I know times have changed. They just can't get (or afford) such people today. Back 30-40 years ago, there were many locals who had those skills, and welcomed any job that paid cash. Today, demonstrating craftsmen are specialists who command a high wage.

More Foxire, less Firefox.

According to my contact, no coaster project on the books for 2015 as of now. 

[Swoosh]

Interesting. I guess we'll see.

[BackInTime]

I had the same reaction.

Well, I guess there is no chance it will be a simulator attraction like a return of the diving bell? No, I didn't think so.

Now that would be almost too much to hope for!!

[BackInTime]

The crickets are deafening...

If they ever did another simulator ride I would hope they would consider bringing back the diving bell.

Underground railroad? Really, That's not in the 1880s theme. More like 1860s
