SDC's 2017 Project Part 2

Interesting. They are really advertising this heavily far in advance. I'm excited for something new during the Christmas festival.

Well it looks good at night... Kinda strange when you notice the actual roof line, but that's not an issue in the dark.

I guess the real issue will be whether this will be ugly as hell in the daytime, especially since they'll probably be up for 3 months out of the year. Might have been a better idea just to rebuild the facades.

I dont understand the point. Maybe I was expecting something else. I dont understand why they are trying to make their structures look bigger. Maybe they need the tunnel effect for this to work night. Taller buildings with animation mounted on the real roofs?

If I were them, I wouldn't have posted that pic. It looks terrible (IMO), and I was looking forward to this addition. The way it is being executed has me worried; it looks cheep.

Maybe once the "bigger picture" comes into play it will look better, but that pic alone makes it look horrible.

I agree with you. It just seems like the wrong spot, why they didnt do around the lake with a show confuses me.
You could say there is not a lot of standing room down there but I would argue the same point with midtown.

I know it will not happen, but Mary's Springhouse would be a excellent place for the Upscale Coffee/tea house and roastery. I have wished for this for years.

It would be an even better place for a Mexican Subway (like Chipotle). Don't be shocked if that's what they put there

Well......looky here: https://blog.silverdollarcity.com/article/new-percys-southwest-grill?cid=smc_000262

Percy's Southwest Grill - Sounds like a Chipotle, Qdoba type place to me - I'm looking forward to this.

I'm more curious on how they're going to twist a backstory to explain why it is in the park.

Um. I'm guessing it's there because it will make a profit - not so much because it fits in theme, but a back story would be welcome. Make it so, SDC!

Well, as I recall it being told from his great great great grandmammy Marie, old Percy set out in 1862 to seek gold in the Arizona territories and beyond but came back to the Ozarks sometime later penniless and with a taste for more than just dusky mestizo ladies. So he set out to recreate from his likely hazy memory his favorite dishes from some of the many cantinas he visited during his time away. He's hoping the locals enjoy his tales from the trail of hunting gold and more, just as much as they enjoy his take on the great King Montezuma's preferred cuisine.

Sucks that Mary's Springhouse is gone, but this was something the park needed - in-theme or not. Very positive reaction on FB. I am in the same crowd that was wanting something that could be a little more healthy for lunch. Would have been nice to have just added it to a deadzone like GE.

I still don't understand why there are no real food sales in that area outside of Liberty.

And I still have hopes for a "three-alarm" funnel cake at FL.

This is a very welcome addition!! My only problem with it is that it had to replace a restaurant. In my opinion, you can never have too many food options. Why did this have to replace another restaurant, instead of just opening this in a new location? Either way, I'm excited to try this!

Are you talking about Lady Liberty? Look for changes there too. Heard they're no longer serving burgers at that location

Being autistic, I am an EXTREMELY picky eater. So looking at the menu for the new restaurant has me REALLY excited because of the level of customization available for your meal. It might end up becoming my favorite place to eat at the park.

Will miss the Springhouse....it was good....better than the Buffets....too bad they eliminated a restaurant.
