The kettle corn sign doesn't look like it fits in.  There isn't enough "rustic" to it. 

Exactly.  This looks like something that belongs at a six flags or some theme park that relies less on themes and more on just rides.  Too...carnival like.
Small wonder our lives have so little of God in them, when we come in touch with so little that God has made.

Me too!  As Swoosh stated above, it has to be seen in context. I'll go with that for now.

Hmmmm, thanks for posting.

Normally I try to avoid nit-picking the newer thematic developments in the park. I'm normally happy if they at least keep putting some effort into the park's atmosphere and character.

That new carnival game is just tacky. It's the kind of thing that's hard to wrap your head around when you think about their operations from a business perspective. How much value did they take away from the park experience for the little bit of pocket change that game will make? If they keep making additions like this, it'll be hard to keep convincing people that SDC is the kind of place that can reasonably demand the kind of ticket prices they do... I think this kind of thing is more damaging to the park than the PTB think, at least its tucked away for now. What went in by TGS?

An eyesore!  Not that I wish ill for SDC, but I hope it fails as a generator of profit.
Always SEEKING Memories Worth Repeating

Swoosh

It's temporary (the Hi-Striker).  That's all I am going to say about it for now.

Not much longer and we'll have quarter pushers and prizes like mirrors with a weed leaf or a black Sabbath album cover screen printed on them along with blacklight tapestries.

This is a scar on the spirit of SDC.  Sometimes making a few bucks but leaving a cheap and bad impression is just not a good business idea. Definitely not something that I would classify as a memory worth repeating........regardless of how short a time this is set up.
SDC, own up to a bad idea and get it out of there.

Since we're all talking about the Hi-Striker, I posted my other picture of it on Frickr. Also, it looks like SDC updated the waterwheel at the mill house (Photo also included).

Cheers.

Where is the hi-striker?  I'm having a hard time telling where it is from the picture.

Basically around the same area that old Kettle Corn stand was located
