General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Behind the Scenese at the Saloon

Thanks SirWillow! Great video as always. I certainly hope that you're able to do more like that in the future!

I'm not sure I'm a believer of that rumor, at least not at this point.  They put in quite a bit of money just a handful of years ago investing in the flooring of the station. There are multiple reasons not to move it.  And I just haven't really had much by way of indicators when I've talked to people around the park who might know.

I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but I'm not really convinced at this point.

I saw your video on that today SirWillow. You brought up good points surrounding everything. We'll just have to see what happens I guess. It's fun to speculate though...  ;)

Thanks SirWillow. That was a fun video!

I'm in the same category. I was scheduled to go down for the 5th and 6th this month, but cancelled. I think I'm just going to hold out until next season and see how things go. Given how things are going at the moment, early next season may be a wash too...

Currently penciled in for July 5th and 6th... We'll see how things go between now and then w/ regards to the pandemic... It will be nice to get away, even if only for a couple of days.

Looks like they extended existing 2020 season passes through June 1st, 2021. Makes me think they will be closed through May perhaps?

Branson Talk / Re: MO 76 realignment over current MO 465

Yellow is new MO76. Blue is the extension of MO376. Red is current 76 that will be turned over to the city of Branson. Green is the existing MO 76, which will remain the same. I hope this helps.

I've never noticed it. Second hill w/ train has always been the more jerky hill in my view.

SDC Memories/ Park History / Re: Favorite "spots" in the city
« on: May 29, 2018, 08:20:10 PM »
I always like to sit on the second level behind Lumbercamp Burgers and watch the waterfall. 2nd place is inside the ice cream parlor by one of the windows... Air-conditioning and ice cream, what a deal!

Yes, TNT seems like it is getting VERY rough.  They really need to work on that.  That spot in the tunnel is starting to get so bad I can't take it anymore

Pretty much, 2 big bumps in the tunnel there. Seems to be worse this year compared to last year. Hopefully this receives attention soon.

I managed my first trip of the season today. There was rain all morning and into the afternoon. This kept the crowds at bay, but most rides were operational. Not a fan of the new pathway around Time Travler/ TNT/FM area... Still seems like it will be a cluster during busy times/Christmas season... They were only doing half cave tours due to all of the heavy rain recently. It was nice to see that FITH opening scene received some love in the off season. Train was fun as always...

Construction/Rumors / Re: SDC's 2018 Project(s) and Park Developments

Very nice Sir Willow and thanks for the video. Interesting to see how the area around the ride has changed from last season. Looking forward to getting out there and seeing it in person.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Tram nightmare
« on: July 18, 2017, 11:41:33 PM »
I might be in the minority but my family always just walks to the front gate.  Of course we are always able to find a parking spot along the "border" between the free and paid parking.  We just have one of the group get out and scout out an open spot (there's always an open spot) and then park and walk.

Agreed, I usually just walk and find it quicker than the tram. Although I realize that is not always possible for some folks. Rarely have I had trouble finding a spot in the same area that Swoosh is talking about.
