2010 - Tom Sawyer’s Landing Project - Rumor - (10/14/08) A reader who visited the park on Sunday tells us that the signs on the construction fences around the Tom Sawyer’s Landing Project have changed the date from 2009 to 2010, confirming a rumor that this park would follow Dollywood’s lead. (10/8/08) New pictures of the construction site at Silver Dollar City have been posted to SDCFans. (7/28/08) Make the jump over to SDCFans to see some current photos of the Silver Dollar City construction site where quite a bit of clearing has taken place. They’ve also posted new pictures showing off the status of the parking lot / new road project as well as the nearly finished Culinary Arts School building which is said to be opening on September 11th. (7/7/08) A new construction update from Silver Dollar City can be seen at MidWestInfoGuide. It shows all the large new construction walls blocking off the Tom Sawyer’s Landing area which have now also added teaser signs promising a new “family-fun ride” for Spring 2009. There are more that offer some clues, like a message from Tom claiming that he and Huck will be back “next spring with a blastin’ load of fun.” Meanwhile the rest tease everyone about looking for peepholes and how they’re not giving away the secret just yet. There is also an update showing off more about the current Kids Fest event. (6/26/08) According to
Screamscape sources construction walls have suddenly gone up surrounding quite a bit of the old Tom Sawyer’s Landing area. The popular rumor is that a Tom Saywer and Huck Finn themed River Battle style attraction could be coming in, an attraction that was actually shown off in a recent guest survey about possible future attractions. We’ve been sent a copy of the artwork used for this survey as well. According to the survey the are a few different names variations under consideration for the attraction, all of which seem to include the use of the “Tom and Huck” names followed by things like River Battle, River Blast, River Adventure, etc. Now I guess the only question is this… would this be part of the multi-attraction package on the way to the park for the 2009 season, or would this all be for 2010? You can view some discussion about the matter posted to the SDCFans Forum as well as some pictures of the new construction walls here blocking off the balloon ride and other sections here.
2011/2012 - New Coaster - Rumor - (10/14/08) With the delay of the 2009 project to 2010, I am assuming any new coaster project for the park will also be delayed for a year or two. (6/26/08) While this is just a small rumor right now, we’ve heard the Gerstlauer name dropped for SDC’s 2009 project once again, but this time in connection with a possible new custom Spinning Coaster project. Anyone know more? (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. By coincidence they will also be hosting the ACE Coaster Con that year. Previous rumors have claimed the park was seriously looking at adding their own custom themed Gerstlauer Eurofighter to make a themed attraction similar to Dollywood’s new Mystery Mine. (5/11/07) We've heard that Silver Dollar City may be considering the addition of their own themed Gerstlauer Eurofighter coaster, inspired by the positive guest response to Dollywood's Mystery Mine.
