Have any of you ever had dreams about SDC? I do, and they tend to be quite frequent. In my dreams, the park never looks completely like it actually does, always kind of a jumbled up version with various things missing and out of place; all the while i know I am at SDC. I am usually by myself in these dreams, trying to find my wife and other members of our family. Even more odd is that the Balloon ride always shows up in my dreams, always in a different place, but it is there...every time.
Anybody else out there with weird/odd dreams about SDC?
-
I frequently have a dream where I am at "SDC", but it looks nothing like the actual place. It always revolves around being on "Fire in the Hole", which is an actual coaster (much like Thunderation) but still indoors in the dark. Sometimes the train goes one direction through the ride, and sometimes it goes the opposite direction. It's all very weird, and I don't know why I keep having the same dream. Good to know I'm not the only one having them!!
-
Great topic! Yes, I have had the same dream about 4 times. Fire in the Hole is right next to the Flooded Mine. I am riding Fire in the Hole by myself and it's the same old ride until it gets really bright and stops right next to a large open room kind of like a study with marble busts, a fireplace and wooden doors all around. The ride stops and I have to get out and go in the room then all the doors open and zombies come out and try to run me down and devour me! I have never paid attention to see if these zombies look like Baldknobbers. Talk about a dark ride! Where did that come from?!! Note to SDC- don't change the ride to this. Bad concept! :o
-
Zombies???
Duelist, u dont grab as a Scifi enthusiast.... :o :o :o

I like to branch out- must have been that "Cowboys and Aliens" movie! :D

Should we be worried about you guys??? Zombies, baldknobbers, coasters, and balloon rides?
-
Not necessarily actual dreams, but I have daydreams all the time about SDC and how things could be improved here and there... this doesn't just apply to SDC though. Seriously I wish parks would hire me to do a walk through with them so that I could give them my insight on how things could be plussed and/or more streamlined to better serve their guests.
*wow if that doesn't make me sound like I'm full of myself, nothing will - lol*
-
How many parks do you go through a year, and how many times do you visit those same parks? You are privy to backstage set ups, you experience the park like a guest, you know inside info about operation...makes sense to me. A consultant can make some pretty good $$$ too!
-
I can not ever remember having dreams about SDC. Now i KNOW you all are worse than i am!! :D

I have also had a dream where I am riding Wildfire, and when I get to the top of the lifthill, the train is somehow gone and I have to literally slide myself down the drop. It was a terrifying dream to be just sitting on the very top of the ride and having to slide down by myself. It was one of those dreams where I felt like I "hit" the bed when I woke up.
Oh yeah, and when I was at the top of the lifthill, I could see the Balloon Ride off in the distance, kinda creepy! lol It's always there! haha

Hope not! Maybe my subconscious mind is reminding me the more sinister story of the Baldknobbers. Don't get me wrong- Fire in the Hole is and always has been one of my favorite rides. But it is a tragic story. Even the lively catchy song has sad, scary lyrics:
"Baldknobbers coming riding fast- armed with rifles, wearing masks. Baldknobbers coming, drawing near. Everybody's heart is filled with fear!"
Or maybe in my dreams I'm remindied of Jeff Goldblum's line in Jurassic Park: "When the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ride breaks down the pirates don't start eating the tourists" ;D
-
Duelist...Love that movie cowboy and aliens... 1st time i saw it was at Imax last year...!!! great flic...
duelist.."pirates don't start eating the tourists"..isnt that the zombie thing again????LOL??>>>

That's funny! It's interesting that from the 3 of us that posted our dreams about SDC the park is different in our dreams than what it is in real life.
-
I'm always having dreams about SDC!! None of them make sense, I can only pick out people and places, but by the time I wake up, I have no idea what going on.
-
I just had one last night. My dad came to visit me and asked if he could take me to work and spend time with his grand kid. So we all loaded up in his van and instead of going to work we went to SDC and rode "Thunderation" Pretty sweet.
-
It's good to know I'm not the only one...

I had many daydreams about SDC from the age of 7 through my college years, but I don't think I ever actually dreamed about the City, until two nights after I first read this thread.
Thanks a lot, guys! :D

Had a recurrent dream when I was a kid that I was stuck in the flooded mine, and that the convicts were after me.

Scary!!

Glad others have had some loo-loos also.
I had a weird dream (oh about last summer) that I was on "Buzzsaw Falls" just going down the last hill (about to hit the water). EXCEPT everybody (including me) was in our own personal cars. (You know, the cars we drive on the highway to work and back).
It was one of those dreams that never really finishes. I remember topping the hill starting to go down, then the next thing I remember I am in a very fast speedboat just barreling down the little local stream we have by our house.
Strange things indeed.

I had the most unusual SDC dream last night! My husband and I had just finished a cruise and were in Denmark. Driving down the road we come across a Silver Dollar City (in Denmark!). We decide to go, and a great deal of my family, and some random friends, and a couple of actors are there with us. The park has all the same ride names as real rides that are or have been at the park. But the rides themselves are totally different. DH and I and a friend of my bro-in-law ride on "Lost River", which turns out to be more like the old Waterboggan', complete with the yellow foam rafts. The exciting part of the ride where the raft is supposed to jump a gap in the chute over a Mighty Galleon type ride. But we miss the gap and land on the other ride, and I lost my purse. Also, it was winter in part of the park and there was an area the looked just like the Riverfront area, but had lanes of ice that allowed you to ice skate instead of walk down the streets.
Like I said, a very odd dream. I have no idea where it came from, but I felt I needed to share. ??? :D
-
Thanks for sharing, sounds like a good! :D

I cant remember a specific dream about SDC but here is something you might enjoy. A book series called the kingdom keepers. The premise is a group of kids were filmed for a holographic likeness to be guides around the park. The twist is when they fall asleep at night they wake up in the park. Part human part hologram. I won't give away anymore than that. How cool would it be to have that happen at SDC? The author is ridley pearson. There are seven books and the last one comes out this april.

I don't want to eat or drink whatever it is you are eating or drinking before you go to bed! Please don't say taffy, funnel cake, apple turnover, or pork rinds! ;)

Nope. I like to eat apple dumplins, a walking taco, and finish it off with a good old (Saloon show) type hot chocolate (snowball). Im certain that has nothing to do with these dreams though. OOps, I like to have a big ol handful of kettle corn too.
;D ;D ;D

i used to have reoccurring dreams of FITH when i was a kid. It looked mostly like it always had, but i got to travel along a secret track nobody else got to go on. (This was before I even knew that there are now unused sections of track nowadays)
Also the park didn't look as it does but it was still SDC.
I also had reoccurring dreams of a fictional SDC coaster that always crashed. I nor anyone else would get hurt though. We all would just get up & walk away.
