Okay, so that second paragraph is a bit confusing. Are they redoing Dollywood? Been to Dollywood. It's an okay place, but it sounds like it says here that they are going to add a shopping center there?

My family and I always loved Celebration City. We loved to go there in the evenings and thoroughly enjoyed the family atmosphere. It was clean, well-kept and safe. We were very sad to find out it closed.

Same here… I grew up working at SDC and as an adult, when Celebration City opened, I was thrilled with the kid friendly area as well as the lack of pita lines and loved the evening hours (which SDC rarely, if ever offered).

I'll be taking my kids to SDC tomorrow as they're running a temporary evening hours period (something like a week or two only).

The roller coasters at CC may have been a bit lacking in comparison to what SCD now offers (Powder Keg…omg)… but I definitely miss the ability to get into a 0-20 minute line for a roller coaster as opposed to the SDC typical line of 30-60+ minutes.

Celebration City, as it was, will be missed by many locals. I've "heard" that many of the rides have been shipped out already, but as I live in a city about an hour away, I won't know how it actually looks until tomorrow when we drive by it on the way to Silver Dollar City.

It was a great park. Never very crowded. Great rides and attractions. Why have a companion park with similar hours? Only once did I go to SDC, then go over to Celebration city. Food was cheaper, parking was better. I prefered it over SDC. Hopefully they just revamp it and keep most of the attractions, if not, I may start driving to St Louis or KC for their theme parks

I know there will still be a significant cost, but a much cheaper option would be to move it across town. I heard SDC was looking a GCI coaster after thunderhead got rave rave reviews.

Same here Jarredj. I was hoping to do a Branson trip where I hit both Celebration City and Silver Dollar City. And yes, hopefully another park will buy and move Wildcat, but in this economic climate, I doubt it.Thanks for reading.
