SDC's 2011 Project

shavethewhales · March 04, 2011, 10:54:04 AM

SDC's facebook has a new photo of part of the Lil' Swings. They look good in the new paint scheme.
There's also a new video. Looks like the tree houses are just about finished, but the rides and the walkways still have a ways to go.

Seems like they're kind of cutting it short on the carousel. Only a couple of weeks to get the rest of it installed and build the themed pavilion that will go over it.

HDH is looking good...Hopefully even though it's geared towards kids 3-7, us older kids can enjoy it too...I want to play in the area with my 3 yr old son...Actually, I just want to play...Always a kid at heart, guess that's why I'm a principal at a K-2 school

If not...guess I'll have to go and have some littlun's so I can experience the treehouse huh? Expensive, but it could work...

some fresh paint and they are gaining on the carasoul..

It shouldn't take long to get the carousel installed. I'm sure it's not much more than sticking tab A into slot B. Most of it will be prefab.

Who isn't pleased that they've renamed it Hugo and Mary's Carousel? Is there an old H & M carousel story to go along with it? Did Hugo purchase the ride with Mary in mind? Did they like to ride the carousel after hours in a romantic moment? Why the carousel and not some other feature of the park?

I was wondering that myself. I think it's great that they re-named it Hugo & Mary's; for whatever reason it's a good one & very sentimental.

I think it is a great idea. Glad to see it, probably past due for a "namesake" for the founders

there appears to be new pictures of HDH on the SDC facebook page.

I dont know how long they have been there, But better pics than the video.

If you slow down that vid you can really see how it did take away the open space under the bridge, the building are really close to the old taffy shop as well.
I am sure it looks great and I guess that part of the park could use a little lift but I hate to see the openness and quiet of the area under the bridge go away. I will try to withold judgement till next Sunday when I see it for myself.

The video is pretty old. The concrete pad that was just poured for the Lil' Swings in the video was already in use with the central ride frame in place on it by last Friday. I expect that ride is already done and testing now.

I think your right to shave.. When she finished talking she says it will be ready in "march". so i am gueesing it was done couple of weeks ago.. If they had recorded it this month i am sure she would have used different terminology..

Your right too mhguy, looks like they have eliminated alot of the "quiet area" that was there, and really made the SB so special.
Like you though I am trying to wait and pass judgement after i see HDH next sunday.

joshblakebran · March 11, 2011, 01:20:14 PM

Since I can't make it over Spring Break is there any of you who would be willing to take pictures and post them??? I'd like to see the new food stand by the Lumberjack as well...Thanks

sanddunerider · March 11, 2011, 01:23:00 PM
