nah never mind, after reviewing old pics I think the other side is closed up. the speculation is so fun though. i just cant imagine that heavy of steel being used for a walkway.

Could it be possible that heavy steel would be for some sort of launch?  like riders would enter the cars in that middle bay & the track would move left to the next bay & back up for a launch situation. Then be shot through the station into a dive out of the station.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Got another survey this week about SDC

« on: February 19, 2017, 04:14:42 PM »

I actually got the survey too & was excited to use my voice.
I just reiterated that they always should keep in mind three words
besides the word "Adventure" they seemed intent on using, and that was "Rustic,Family & Faith" which had always set SDC apart from other parks. I also kept reminding them every chance I got to use the words "1880's & Past" as well .

Maybe the new coaster can take me back in time to SDC 1979.

SDC Memories/ Park History / Re: Silver Dollar City Merchandise

« on: February 01, 2017, 10:00:00 PM »

I just recently purchased "The Sounds of SDC" on vinyl. I got it in near mint condition on ebay.
I was wondering  if anyone could tell me what year the record was made & sold?
There is no year listed on the cover or record itself.

I was there over the weekend 12/3,4,5.
saw the same as Shave. it was a light rain all Sat into the night, not much going on.
you can see quite a lot from TNT & the back porch of the culinary school.
its really cleared out behind EH. I dont know about these sorts of things, its just hard to believe they can squeeze a coaster in that small of an area.

Construction/Rumors / Re: New survey about Rodeo attraction or Mining attraction 5/27/16

« on: August 24, 2016, 07:30:32 PM »

So how do you get signed up for these? I regularly get the customer experience email surveys but not the attraction ones. When I did the signup I thought I would get both? No?

I don't usually get the ride concept surveys either but that may be due to the fact when they ask the question "How would this attraction affect whether you visit SDC next year?" i always answer it doesn't  affect at all since we buy season passes every year and go whether they add anything new or not.  I'm sure they are sending the surveys to those who usually don't come to SDC every year (or at least multiple times during the year).

But I've seen quite a few in this thread & in other threads who did receive the survey, I'm an every other year season pass guy & have been for many years. I'd really love to take the survey!
Nobody has answered on how to get on the list or get involved, I'd like my voice to be heard to the POB

Yeah the only thing I could visually see was that the contractor trucks & a small green back hoe & the large yellow back hoe had showed back up at the entrance of the new service road on Indian point after the 4th I left around 6pm on the 5th.
I did notice the Job site trailer from TNT lift hill & the construction of the new wall on one of the turns of TNT but most of us eagle eyes have already seen that. I did walk down near the WOW exit to look off into the woods but the was nothing worth noting.
Everything if anything is taking place over by TNT right now.

Here is a photo update from the 4th of July 2016
Nothing new was happening but at least I have some different angles to compare to what we've seen so far

What can be see from TNT













What can be seen from Hi Striker (looks like a clearing for a service road?) No markers to be seen on this side.







Over the top of the fence










Not much else was happening because of the holiday. As I was leaving today more back hoes & contractor trucks could be seen near (The new service road?) I wasn't able to stop & get any pics of that.

On a more serious note, one thing I would love about a revamped entrance is an SDC history museum of some sort. Something to show the park's history and how far it has come. I think that would be really cool and a great touch. Not many parks have this and it would just further set SDC apart showing that they do remember and embrace their past.

Yes a living interactive museum/entrance. With a small Rube Dugan theater showing the under water film.

Anybody have any photos of the ones we lost?
Its not often enough some of us get to know the citizens let alone their names, but I remember faces real good.
