rumors make the time go by ya know. its like sittin on the virtual front porch whittlin and shuckin corn. Its great. It is such a small community, so if one person starts somethin its the whole community chiming in. If one run naked then the whole town knows.

Rumors provide entertainment and inspire critical thinking. You get to take something and decide if you think it is likely to be true or false. It is also more entertaining to debate than to agree.

Rumors are good laughs.

I was told that they are going to announce their plans tomorrow!

[Swoosh]

Interesting that they would do it on a Saturday.

With College Gameday being in Columbia, it will be hard to get any quality press time (papers / tv) on anything local.  Tuesdays or Thursdays prove to be the best day to get good press coverage as there is little to cover on those days most of the time.

I guess I will stop and see what is going on on my Blackberry as I will be in Columbia all day tomorrow.  M-I-Z!!!

My only thought is maybe they want to announce it to all of the people at the City that are here for fall break.  But who knows that is what they were saying today, it might change tomorrow, that is a big reason I don't post too much of this stuff on here.

I work in the advertising industry and I can tell you with virtual certainty that information like all of the praise, complaints, ideas and general discussion that makes this site so fun are monitored by someone with HFEC or its marketing/research partners (if they don't handle this in-house). Regardless of how loose our thinking or conversations are here, they are worth their weight in gold to the people making critical decisions at HFEC. This site in its entirety is essentially an ongoing, free focus group providing regular and invaluable customer feedback on every aspect of the park. And while information shared here doesn't necessarily provide a consensus on anything, it does offer a feel for what's keeping, or could continue to keep, the pulse of the park going strong.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are registered members here who work for, or are closely affiliated with HFEC. I say this because in my line of work, we routinely leverage access to forums similar to this one for everything from target insight to nuggets of inspiration for new ideas.

So, folks, the moral of the story is, keep wishing, keep dreaming, keep complaining and keep posting anything on your mind about SDC. I guarantee the powers that be are watching and listening. And there's no such thing as a bad idea.

BackInTime, I completely agree with you.  On another forum that I moderate, people who work for the company that runs the game for which the forum is based are CONSTANTLY making accounts, giving suggestions, and contributing to conversations... but not as admin of the forum, but rather as regular members who are simply making suggestions and asking questions about the game.  I always thought it was funny because 1/2 the time, the regulars would tell that "newbie" that that's a stupid suggestion or all of the reasons why that couldn't be a part of the game... not knowing that they're talking to an IT person for the company! 

So yes, I think it's 100% entirely probable that there are HFEC people on this forum making suggestions, gathering ideas, reading feedback, etc... to get an idea of what the general public would possibly think about new changes as well.

If they designed it right, like one of those coin vortexes you see at the mall, you could probably charge extra for wheelchair rentals!
