(8/16/07) I’ve been told that the park is working on approval for a few off-season plans this winter. One will expand and restructure their parking lots but the bigger issue is a plan to relocate a nearby road to allow the locals to avoid the theme park traffic.
2009 - New Coaster - (12/3/07) Silver Dollar City revealed to the ACE Coaster Christmas Con attendees that something BIG will be coming to the park in 2009 that will be their largest capital investment to date.

???? - Tom Sawyer’s Landing Project - Rumor - (8/16/07) While nothing is really known right now, the Treehouse is still rumored for removal along with a possible project to revamp this entire area in the next few years.
(6/4/07) The latest reports from park guests is that the Huck Finn Tree House in Tom Sawyer’s Landing is currently closed and the entrance and exit areas boarded up. You can see a few photos of the closed area taken last week at SuperSteveSupersite From what I’ve been told, it was closed down sometime last season and many were hoping the problems would be fixed this year. If the rumors are true, the structure may have been determined to be too costly to repair short of a complete rebuild and the park may have to focus their 2008 capital on this area next year. Anyone know more?
