It's not part of my package either.  I was really surprised about that.

I completely forgot that this was going to air the first time around. I'm looking forward to finally seeing it.

Rube, anyone recognize you from TV yet?

[rubedugans]

It hasn't aired yet Shave. It'll be on for the first time on 10/30... So no worries, you missed nothing so far!

[rubedugans]

Tomorrow is the day!!! 10/30 on GAC! nervous and excited, and worried how ya'all will react to the show! I will field any questions that come up. and give more insight into what they filmed that didn't make the cut.

[Junior, too!]

Rube, what time is it on GAC tonight?

As I had feared, cox wants to charge me an extra arm and a leg for this channel even though I already pay a ridiculous amount for supposedly 220 channels. Too bad 75% of those are music channels. I'm so done with cable...

Anyhow, how was it?

I was very happy with the results, it was the last of the 3 segments, wild adventures, holiday world , then SDC. I was very happy to see the use of the coasters, park, and a few spots around the park. The editing was great with action shots, intros transitions etc. it showed the coasters most of all, but when filming they had a lot of SDC specific shots to use as well that went to the cutting room floor.

Things left out that were filmed:
The intro outside the park with street troupe crew
Walking talking with Shorty on the square
Full candy demo with Aunt June
Porch talk with Frisco Jack
Black smithing demo
Long discussion while eating about the park

Again I was happy with how they used all of my facts/ stats and we were able to look as if we worked well together.

Wish we could see it.  GAC isn't part of our package either.

One thing I didn't know that was mentioned on the program was the fact that SDC sees over 8 million visitors per year. That's an incredible number for a seasonal theme park. I was completely amazed by that fact mentioned in the show, I had to rewind and watch again and again just to make sure I heard that right.

If you check out this site of attendance for parks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amusement_park_rankings
That would put SDC right among Disney California Adventure and Universal Islands of Adventure and in the top 15 parks in the world.

So, I'm guessing that fact might have been a little inflated??

Branson sees 8 million visitors a year... SDC only sees a forth of that.

Branson sees 8 million visitors a year... SDC only sees a forth of that.

I figured there had to be a miscommunication in there somewhere. The program says "the park receives over 8 million visitors annually" which I thought wasn't correct. But even if they received 1/4 of that.....2 million is still pretty good (Considering SFMM, SFGAdv, and Busch Gardens are in the 2 to 3 million visitor range).

Glad it turned out good. My daughter was to record it for me so I will go to her house to see it. So glad you were pleased with results, Rube.

[How-doFolks]

I saw it, i thought it was good. Kinda hard to describe a entire park in 10-15 minutes.

Rube, was that you in the green shirt?

[rubedugans]

Yep how do I was in green

I bet you'll be stunned at how many attend OTC this year. It grows and grows. Problem is that we never really know cause it's a privately held company and no demanding shareholders. I wouldn't be shocked if they do 500,000
