General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: ROLL CALL: When you going to the park?

« on: September 17, 2020, 12:14:27 PM »

As a pre-teen my first visit to SDC occurred in 1970.  Going forward from that initial visit, I can count upon one hand the years I have failed to make the yearly trek . My wife and I currently hold and have held season passes for several years. Due to covid-19 circumstances we have visited the park but once this year with no accompanying guest.

When attempting to make online reservations for Oct 17th my “Bonus Guest Voucher” was refused. After being advised “the voucher is not honored on Saturday during the month of October,” I was overwhelmed feeling as if betrayed by a trusted old friend of many years.

This was to be my 9yr old grandsons’ weekend free from home school, and urban life. Free from exclusion of his non-excitant state fair. Free to astride SDC rides until his heart content. It is saddening the highly touted free “Bonus Guest Voucher” comes with not only a monetary Saturday cost but a Silver Dollar City moral compass cost as well.

I will attempt to find another workable date however as any grandparent knows, coordinating dates with active grandchildren of active parents, can be most unsettling……… similar to but not equally as unsettling experienced when betrayed by a trusted old friend of many years.

Stayed one weekend each during the spring, summer, fall and winter seasons of this year. Great value with no complaints what so ever.

Welp, guess I'll jest jump off in here and gets my feets wet. I first visited the park in the fall of 1971 as a preteen with my Mother, older sister and younger brother in tow. instantaneously from that time forward a yearly trip to SDC ensued and quickly became a family tradition. I can surly count on both hands the years I have missed not visiting the park since. I have spent honeymoons (yes honeymoons as in plural, go ahead and laugh now, as I myself just did) with wives number 1 as well as wife number 3 at the city. However the most memorable trip (to date) had to be the spring of 1977 when myself and 2 fellow high school graduating seniors made the trek "unaccompanied" from Creek County OK to the city in a black Pontiac Trans Am. I was not so much into the rides and attractions that trip as we were desperately trying to catch the attention of girls, girl, or heck any female that was not old enough to be our mother! To summarize my experiences through the years, SDC with out doubt definitely turns back time. Each passing year I grow older but with each year brings another visit to the city and truly adds another week if not month to my life. The younger brother mentioned above turned me on to this site. Many of you know him here as DewyBald.
