SDC's 2011 Project

dwfan · August 06, 2010, 09:07:22 PM

Not something I would like to see coming to SDC or DW for that matter. SDC does not need any more 52 inch height requirement rides, and my DW better NOT get one!

I would LOVE to get a Double Shot! The Detonator is one of the few rides at Worlds of Fun that I absolutely adore. I can just imagine soaring to the top of a shot tower at the top of Roarke Mountain... *sigh*

Have you guys ridden the double shot at Celebration City?
It isn't that high.

^Little more than an express elevator to me.

Now that the announcement has been made as to what is being added at Dollywood, when will we hear an announcement about SDC's new ride...Also, in an earlier response, somebody had made a comment about Roaring Falls being brought to SDC from CC...hopefully not to replace American Plunge...Surely there is no way American Plunge would be replaced...It's been there forever....

I predict something will happen to the American Plunge in the not too distant future. Either they will revitalize it, or they will completely replace it, or they will simply remove it.

They should move Roaring Falls to White Water. A similar ride was installed at Noah's Ark in the Dells and it is very popular there AND White Water could use a new ride.

You would think that they would announce something soon as the summer is closing.
When in the season did they make the announcement about Wildfire?
Or PowderKeg?

Swoosh · August 07, 2010, 09:04:22 PM

You'll have to wait until Harvest Fest when the season pass sales start.

I'm pretty sure both River Blast and TGS were announced around Nov. 1 when season passes go on sale. Wildfire and PK were announced much earlier.

If we get Roaring Falls, I'm wondering where exactly they will put it. It can't go into the lake for various reasons, it will need it's own pool. There's an expansion point behind GE, but that would put it kind of out of the way. I don't think it will fit in WW's spot without some modifications either... Hmm, seems like if we are getting it, they'll have to make a new themed area in the parking lot, or expand GE.

Swoosh · August 07, 2010, 09:50:55 PM

Why can't it go behind GG?

mhguy77 · August 07, 2010, 10:11:22 PM

Honestly I think I would welcome a Adventure Mountain over that common water ride.

I was told a couple weeks ago Roaring Falls was for sale

, leaving only the shot tower & Wildcat left NOT for sale

mhguy77 · August 07, 2010, 10:17:27 PM

Wildcat would be wonderful, but it sure seems expensive to move that.
It could run 3 trains if it was retooled the correct way.

@swoosh:

I may be wrong, but it doesn't feel like there's enough room back there. I never actually made it to CC in 2008, so I'm not sure how wide the space needed is. It'd have be pretty sandwiched between GG and the tracks, and might look weird, at the very least...

That's good to hear, I hope it's correct. I wouldn't be disappointed with Roaring Falls, but it wouldn't be much incentive to hurry back to the park... Was the flying carpet sold too? I enjoyed that one too, even though it would be harder to come up with an apt theme for it. You don't see many of those around anymore.

They definitely won't move OzCat though. They'll take the hardware I'm sure, but there's no need to go through the effort to move it when they can build a new, better wooden coaster. I don't think SDC has a big enough flat space anyway.
