I'm also a traditonalist with some pretty strong views on several new coasters for 2012, and some of them are strongly negetive (Verbolten and X-Flight). But i'm looking incredibly foward to this ride, a news article says that with a combination of their trains and track that they can make them perform inversions (according to Screamscape articles). But RMC hasn't revealed their new coaster cars, so they may not be plastic cars like you say. Plus moving Ozark Wildcat isn't as easy as it seems with a park that has hilly terrain, think of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole hard. But I'm eager to see the end results even though I live in the 'boring' state of Wisconsin.

Jeff, I agree on the relocation idea for the Ozark Wildcat and SDC's current step-child status.

I worked on the Waterboggan from 89 to 94. It was a mess from day one. Every time guests had a problem with it, the solution created new problems for the guests to complain about. It never ended. Each change made the Waterboggan worse than before.

It was unique, a two-of-a-kind attraction found nowhere outside the SDC family of parks. Dolly got the *good son*…..SDC got the *red-headed step-child* version.

I still have a boat handle which broke off a boat one day, while I was doing a ride-thru.

I live in Kansas City so I have grown up visiting Silver Dollar City, which is only 200 miles south, although I don't get down there as much as I would like.

I'm a traditionalist and think it's sad that after waiting so long for a wood coaster at SDC it's going to be a pre-fab job with plastic coaster trains rather than a GCI. Even sadder, the Ozark Wildcat sits SBNO down on the Branson strip and could have been moved to SDC. I was not a big fan of that ride, but it could have been improved during the relocation.

Although SDC was the original, Herschend's money is going to Dollywood and its other new acquisitions and SDC is being treated like a step-child. Not only is it not getting the new attractions (GCI Woodie, Mystery Mine, Wild Eagle) but it keeps losing attractions– most notably the Wilderness Waterboggan, SDC's version of the Mountain Slidewinder.
