"The Mountain Slidewinder. Voted The #1 Non-Rollercoaster Ride in America Amusement Business Magazine, 1991"
Celebration City was packed every time I was there (well except when I went on a press day there at the very beginning of the season). If the park didn't beat attendence ecpectations, I'd be surprised. They really need more shows and another sit-down restaurant. I agree with Jim on the Eagles, and we have to be careful with the "new" rides (ie. topspin, etc) they won't fit into the "time frame" that the park is going for (even though the space shot and afterburner really don't fit into anyway).

I've never seen a non-busy day at Celebration City.

About the Christmas Lights parade at SDC. I was told by someone that they're supposed to get a new float for that parade each year. I wonder what this float will look like.
As for future ride rumors at SDC. I have not heard a word about the Ice House, however I have heard rumors concerning the future of Buzzsaw Falls. I have heard that they're ethier gonna modify this ride to make it more thrilling and last much longer than it is now. I also heard it may become something in the way of a Jr. Hyper Coaster too. They have been cutting back on the operation of Buzzsaw Falls to just the weekends durring the Fall Fest so I don't know if Buzzsaw is gonna be around for much longer. SDC is probally still not very happy with Premier rides so they may end up going to Intamin if they do something like this. This is just a rumor I have heard and they probally have lots of scenarios of what going to happen in the future at SDC.

Chris - this year's float is "Santa's Sleigh," there was a picture of it in the AP mailer.

Well that may be true, but incorporating new track into an old one can be difficult and very tricky. As long as they don't remove the ride (and think that is highly unlikely) - then I am all for a modification. There modification of Waterboggan was excellent.

Also for some of you guys that worry about me wearing the pins on the coasters, I don't! I take them off and put them in a little bag and secure them in my pocket where they won't fall out and become a missile. I would bet being hit by a Pin Lanyard missile would hurt pretty badly.

BTW You can buy some SDC Pins online at http://www.silverdollarcity-shops.com/Generalstore/listing.asp?categoryid=32&pos=1. Some of the neatest pins for sale are the The Beverly Hillbillies SDC Pin, The Irving the Talking Dog Branson Belle pin (Perfect for Trade Baits), or the gone but not forgotten Ride Pin of Rube Dugan's Diving Bell. Much of the stuff at SDC in the shops are avalable online, so you don't have to go all the way to Branson to get the neat stuff at SDC.
