This ride has byfar the best views of any B&M I have ridden

Did I mention that this was Coaster Christmas?

So after riding WildFire it was time to go eat -- hmmm... I bet this is the place.

After eating way too much good food, it was time for the presentations to start.

But first, a fellow ACEr -- I think she said her last name was Ettleton,
entertained us with her rendition of "Our (Coaster Christmas) Favorite Things"

Following the merry tune, Lisa Rau (SDC PR) and Jason (Head of SDC Properties) gave us a follow up on what is going on in Branson next year. Basically, the parking lot project is still a work in progress and will continue to be so through the off-season. There has been no final say on what will become of Celebration City however it will be closed in 2009 and the new concept should open in 2010.

Next up was Brandon Stanley (WOF PR) who filled us in on the progress of Prowler. He also stated that he just got back from corporate and got to see the Prowler commercials which are about finished. He stated the park will open April 18th in 2009, and that there might be a season passholder exclusive "viewing" of Prowler before the season.

He also stated that while at corporate he learned that several old "Paramount" parks are getting very big rides in the near future and that those announcements would be very early this coming season. Other things included Norsemann's will be redone and made into a "surf shop" and that the crate would reappear in the new Prowler Plaza. He also showed some concept art that has not been made public including a topography of the layout.

Next came the "give-a-ways" Schlitterbahn Kansas City was not able to send a rep but sent some cool prizes anyway -- including a pass for 8 to any one of their parks.
