they run that sweepstakes all the time though. Nothing new.

Really....fireworks....lol....I think you guys are funny.


Here what the website says below the video.....(I'm guessing it's just about the sweepstakes)

Enter now to win a family getaway for 4 to Silver Dollar City Attractions including tickets to Silver Dollar City & White Water, a cruise on the Showboat Branson Belle and 2 nights at Silver Dollar City's The Wilderness!

Prize Package Includes:

4 One-Day Tickets To Silver Dollar City
4 One-Day Tickets To White Water
4 Tickets For A Cruise On The Showboat Branson Belle
2 Nights In A Log Cabin At The Wilderness

But we already know about the sweepstakes, and they usually have a sweepstakes when something big happens.

Above that the website says, "The Harlem Globetrotters are helping us celebrate Independence Day in a big way with a special surprise you'll have to see to believe! Join us on Facebook Monday, July 4th for the big reveal. Trust us...you don't want to miss it!".

The same video is on the Globetrotters page.  I tend to think this is nothing more than a Globetrotters-at-SDC announcement.

That's interesting. What could it be that both SDC and the Globetrotters would be advertising it? It better be truly epic and spectacular like the video says .

^Trick shot from the pinnacle of Wildfire, bouncing off the treehouse, down the corkscrew, ricocheting off of the wax hand of Meadowlark Lemmon and into the smokestack of one of the new engines as it crosses the bridge.

I bet they're announcing a globetrotter theater at the park. I expected one was coming Dollywood will get one too

That would be one way to announce changes to the train ride

Now here's a bit of speculation that make sense. I keep wondering what they are planning for the Globetrotters as it seems they have been continually hyping up their brand. A dedicated theatre of some sort would make sense if they are going to keep on being such a large face of HFE. Still seems a little out of place, but as with anything it can be worked into the city if it's done with care.

I don't know if they would really build a new theatre though... seems like they would be more likely to gut another theatre, but only RGH is big enough. They wouldn't want to lose the flexibility of that venue though, so who knows.

Well maybe they would build them a designated theater and they could be there year-round, using some different shows throughout the different festivals. I'm not sure how different they could be though.

We're guessing it's a World Record attempt

We're guessing it's a World Record attempt

Looking through the lens of Silver Dollar history and their pattern of operation, that's more reasonable than any of this other stuff.

Love to see SDC build a taller swing ride. Like the one at Six Flags Arlington. It be an amazing ride with an amazing view.

It'll never happen

Why do you think it will never happen Swoosh?

I'm thinking because SDC goes to great lengths to hide most of their rides so when you walk into the City you get the illusion you're in an 1880s Ozark Village.  That would be compromised having a set of swings so high you could see them all over the City.

I was thinking something along those lines when I saw the video

I am betting a basket from the top of Outlaw Run or Wildfire.
Seems to make sense with the video clips and buzzwords they were throwing out there.

I really hope this will be about Celebration City more than anything else.
