Thanks for the great summary Pi. Sounds like you are good with the Howler/cave idea. Love the placement and thought behind taking out Thunderation so that this area is literally adjacent to the caves. I think for the family friendly flat ride in this locale, mine carts is definitely the way to go. While we don't want to necessarily copy the Marvel Cave tour, I think a flat ride themed around going into the caves, the work, tools, etc. will do nicely, especially considering there has to be a number of kids who don't get to do the actual cave tour. As much as i'd love to make the Howler or whatever we call it all indoors and this would really help a park that has to shut down rides certain parts of the year, I do wonder realism wise if a park like this would go that route. I think we can definitely have a portion of it go in, through the caves of course. If we are creating artificial cave work, might make good sense to have it and the mine cart flat ride using the same geography.

Great idea on the time traveler area. I saw that attraction and thought the idea and look was really cool for this park but wasn't sure how it fit the overall area. Steampunk Americana would be an interesting take and help the attraction meld with the area.
Good call, all indoors might be a bit unrealistic. Fire in the Hole is "technically" an indoor coaster. But coaster is a very loosely used term there, so something that is outdoors with some "caves" to go in and out of is probably more in line with what the park would do.

So, we have 3 days till it is due. So, we should try to be done in 2 days so we have time for putting the whole project together.

I'm thinking you (@Disney Dad 3000) do the Devil's Den and Howler and I'll do the Steampunk and hotel (plus budget since that is basically already done).

Unless, @DisneyManOne is working on this section of the project. If you are, wanna do the hotel?

Sounds good. I'll write it up and post for edits/input. Would like to do at least one art piece of some sort for the slides. Do attraction/shop logos at the least

Asa regular to SDC please find a way to make the steam punk area by Time traveler a reality lol! :p
But- you cannot take away parking without adding it somewhere else. All lots get full and those furthest away are down a pretty steep hike, really only safe to get to by shuttle.
Check out the now defunct Celebration City. Lots of rides you guys have discussed were there.

Sweet! Remember: Families, relaxation, legacy, and taking it easy are the key goals with our park

That is great to know about the parking lots! Perhaps we can try to add some expanded parking closer in or a trolley/tram line for the further lots.

Quick Notes:
Silver Dollar City is in the Ozark Mountains and, as a result, there are LOTS of sudden, unforeseeable elevation changes. While you are responsible for reasearch, I do want to offer the advice to double check the elevation of Thunderation at various points, as it is on a VERY steep hill.
Also, double check where Time Traveler is in comparison to the Grand Exposition.

Hate to do this to you guys but am not going to be able to get anything done. Was supposed to go out of town Friday for a few days and had to unexpectedly leave yesterday to see a family member who isn't doing so well. Really sorry about that! Hoping there is another team done that can maybe help some. I don't think I'm going to be able to be online much until maybe saturday/sunday.

As per Feathers note, I was having some issues in looking at Thunderation. Don't know if it makes more sense to just leave it and retheme/refresh/add on then tearing it down and trying to build in the same area since it's in a little tricky spot.

I have pretty much nothing but free time today. So, I can easily take up the writing and some logo/simple art making (@DisneyManOne, if there's more you want to do, let me know). What I'm bad at and could use some help with (thank you @Magic Feather for the head's up) is seeing if there is a different location that would be usable for the small Devil's Den Area or if plans need to change. Could totally see the budgets being shifted around and plans changed if need be. Perhaps just adding some showscenes and updating ThuNderaTion or something.
