I think we got spoiled by Fury last year. A lot less excitement over opening this year, translating to lower readership here.

Yea, I've been stuck down here in Clearwater, FL since October. I will still be here come May sometime. I am lurking on a daily basis to see what falls from the sky. :lol:

Sad thing is I've only been able to go to B.G. since I've been here. Trying to get to U.S. and good ole Diz before I cut out.

I always thought one of these would fit great Orlando. But I know little to nothing about the amusement industry apart from coaster and ride statistics, so I will wait for someone to come along and correct me.

Orlando makes the most sense market wise although I'm not sure where there is enough available land that isn't insanely expensive that within the "theme park corridor" area. I certainly wouldn't expect them to build in Myrtle Beach, lol.

I could see it working out there too, but aren't they trying to pull back on their "family" destination status?

Was just there in feb. It seemed the opposite! Lots of family friendly stuff going on especially with all those Cirque shows around town.

Glad to hear that's still the case. There is so much potential there for stuff to work that isn't adults bars or casinos.
