When Missy and I visited SDC this weekend, we were shocked to find the Runaway Ore Cart was completely missing. It was there when we were at the park last month. I hope that it comes back as it is a fairly popular ride with the kids. These pictures show what the Ore Cart's lot looks like now.
Hmmmmmm. You may have just given me the missing link to a piece of artwork I saw the other day. If I am correct, then, expect to see the cart reopen with a new theme.
Well they do take the entire ride out every few years to do a complete refurb (it is just easier to take it completely out). However, I have also heard that they may be getting a newer kiddie coaster. Sounded to me like a rollerskate, which would be a good family coaster for that area. However it might be going back behind the Carousel and the area where Ore Cart was will be used for something else, like a petting zoo. Things aren't confirmed yet mind you.
Nothing is confirmed yet, but lets just say that the same storm that hit Tennessee might hit Missouri as well. They were really happy with the results that they got in Tennessee.
Probably.... I guess I kind of remember hearing that a large storm was building and might be here by 06 or 07, so I guess it is semiconfirmed now, better prepare.
The storm won't hit until 2007 at the earliest. They want to ride out PowderKeg for at least a couple of seasons. The name for WOF's inverted hasn't be comfirmed yet, but I would say it is reasonable to think that it would be themed to a bird of prey. Any ideas of what an Oriental bird's name would be as that is where it is going.
