Weird how they deleted your other reply - it's a valid question to ask. Dangling a carrot in-front of those wanting to know just makes it seem like it's for an ego-boost.

Not sure what you're insinuating but I do not have the option to delete others posts and I don't check this board very often anymore.  I get you do not like me but I'm curious what you hope to accomplish with your posting style.  It reminds me of my middle schoolers in maturity level

I am aware that you do not have the option to delete other's posts, considering the fact that you do not have a [Moderator] badge underneath your username. "They" refers to the moderators of the forum. However I can see how the wy I worded it was confusing.

My carrot-dangling analogy still stands though, which is re-enforced by

I have shared all the information that is confirmed or can be proven at this point. Anything else is speculative until confirmed by the park

We get it, you have insider info that nobody else here has and that you can't share specific details due to confidentiality. Speculation is fun. But if you're just going to sit and drip feed us information while saying

Some of these posts have me chuckling. Love seeing what y'all think is happening

It just makes it seem like it's for an ego-boost, which is why I said that.

^ I disagree the board is on "life support".  It usually gets quiet this time of year with the park being closed. When it opens back up I'm sure the forums will get more active. Swoosh, you yourself keep us entertained and informed with your MIG trip reports. Wait until something big does get announced from SDC and watch the board spring back to life with a vengeance!  And as always Shave thanks for keeping the board running!

You're entitled to your own opinion, but I want you to admit to yourself that you're also one of the big reasons why this board has died.  Why would anyone want to provide any info that's not been confirmed by the park when you continually treat other posters the way you do. 

And heaven forbid plans change and a person dared to mention out of date info then you're always one of the first to say something like "see you don't know anything"

If you could quote/link my posts where I've done this then sure, I'll admit it. But I think you've gotten me confused for someone else, considering I've only had 100 posts in the last 6 years and haven't told anybody that "you don't know anything". Yes, I checked my post history. So please, if you think I've treated anybody else poorly then go head and give me the links so I can apologize.

I didn't mean to open a can of worms and I totally understand confidentiality.  But here's the thing, Swoosh... the way you play the "I know something but I can't tell" game is what frustrates people.  We're all here because we love SDC and want to be excited about news from the park.  Respectfully, please wait until you CAN share rather than "chuckling" at our discussion and ideas. That's what makes it come across as ego.  I can't wait to be on park in about 35 days and we can all explore the new areas and offerings.

Oh my, Swoosh, send me all the hints, laugh at my posts, I don't care. The board at least is having some movement now. We all know Swoosh has some inside information - but I know working for parks and others - that information can change at a moment's notice. Heck Taylor Swift drops hints in posts, pictures, etc. all the time without saying anything...that's one of the reasons my daughter is obsessed because she's always trying to figure out something before the announcement. So, Swoosh drop all the hints you can, dangle those carrots, let's have fun with this...

I completely agree, Jay.

I'm not really sure what swoosh is talking about, I can't think of anyone on here that regularly tells people they are wrong besides swoosh.

This whole season the forum has been a bit quieter than past years. I don't think that can be put on anyone person. Some people have moved away, some people are going less often. There are lots of other things going on in the world. I still appreciate those that are here and the opportunity to talk about SDC. Discussing the things we like, the things that are frustrating, and things we would like to see(even if we are wrong) is fun.

It was my reply that got deleted. It's not the first time, but I don't hold it against shave at all. I understand he tries to keep things non-personal...and we have some strong personalities here.

Strong personalities is an accurate term. You guys need to recognize that in Swoosh. He doesn't even get to post a mild tease (i.e., "chuckling") anymore before some attack him for being pompous. The truth is, Swoosh knows who he is, and his posts grow more direct and blunt when you attack him.

Shave is not the only one here who can delete or ban. In the interest of transparency, once in a blue moon, I jump in to try to get us back on topic and avoid accelerating these controversies. That may not be the best approach on my part, but the last thing we need is to constantly erupt into eruption because we don't understand the true intention (or strong personality) behind somebody else's post. I apologize if my actions upset anyone:  I just wanted to get back to the fun conjecture and wild ideas that make the SDCFans forum worth coming back to.

^ Thanks HB!  Isn't it great that a theme park like Silver Dollar City is so well loved by us that we can get so passionate?

That's exactly my point - we all love SDC and enjoy speculating, discussing, etc.  I just get so tired of the "I know something but I'm not going to tell you" game Swoosh plays.  I was simply asking him to either share what he knows or just wait to post something concrete. We all know the value he can bring (and I also enjoy his personal website), but his most recent post of "if you don't like it I'll just take my ball and go home" further proves my point.  I don't want to attack anyone or inflame the situation.  I just want actual news about SDC when I come here.  Thanks for listening and trying to consider my perspective the same way you've asked me to understand his.
