General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: SDC postpones opening!!
« on: April 14, 2020, 05:56:58 PM »Not to put more pressure on SDC... but WOF just made their 2020 passes good through the end of 2021 (including add-one like dining, drink and FastLane).
And that is exactly what SDC needs to do.

That is kind of how I figured it would be. Was just curious if some of the restaurants and/or attractions might be trying to operate in some sort of fashion. It is going to be a rough year for folks over there.

Has anyone been to Branson since the outbreak? Is it a ghost town? Anything even open over there right now?

Can't say I have ever purchased anything from them. I have never seen the attraction.

1. Healthcare is not FREE no matter what country you live in. You may not pay for it at the time of treatment but I can bet you are paying substantially higher taxes. The money has to come from somewhere. The contractors who build hospitals are not working for free. The drug companies are not giving away drugs. The suppliers are not giving all their stuff away. The doctors are not working for free and neither is the janitor.
2. I am of the opinion the issue with the astronautical cost of healthcare in this country is due to the insurance companies. It is like body work on a car, if the insurance is paying the cost goes way up. If you are paying you can get things done much cheaper. I have heard some doctors will even cut deals if it is a cash situation.
3. I really do not get all of the hate for Trump. I have not heard any rational arguments when he gets called a racists, or whatever term gets thrown at him for the day. It just seems no matter what he does, it is always the wrong answer to some people. When he locked down travel to/from China he was called a racist. Then he was blamed because he did not lock travel down soon enough. So which is it?
4. I assume all of the people who say Trump is not their president will not be accepting any checks when they arrive, they will return them to sender, correct?
5. I find it very odd how this whole virus thing has been turned into a big media frenzy. When Obama had his virus deal I do not recall hearing much about it at all and the numbers on it were much more deadly from what I recall. It just seems something fishy is going on to me, but what do I know.
6. This is a group for discussion SDC, I really do not see why politics even need to be brought into it. However, when folks have a different point of view from myself, I do not get all bent out of shape and start name calling. If I do not like what they have to say, I just scroll on. If people want to leave because they think being a Republican is racist or thinking Trump is doing a great job, then that would be your loss.

I have put 2 and 2 together and come to the conclusion I probably should have skipped season passes this year like I originally planed to do. Instead in went all in and decided to get season trail blazer passes also. Tick tock, the season is running down as we speak. I know it is not their fault and there are other problems in the world but since this is a SDC discussion group I figured I might as well bring it up.

« on: March 02, 2020, 08:57:06 PM »
I liked staying at the Ozark last year but I am not sure I want to try and keep up with all the blackout dates. It seems any of the times I would be there it is blacked out. I will probably try Hall of Fame, whatever is the cheapest on Travelocity, or just go with a Hilton property.

I am currently in Lubbock TX for work and was watching the news here and they said there was a case in San Antonio. I have been out to California twice last month. Next month I have to fly to San Francisco, then Norfolk VA, Nashville, then back to Tulsa all in the matter of a week. Hopefully I don't catch it.

I was really on the fence about getting that diamond pass but decided going to Incredible Pizza every month was not something I really needed

I guess I’ll hold off passing along more new info on changes to the park in respect for all y’all’s heath
No no, ignore them. While I might not like all the changes that happen I still want to hear about them

Please remind me to not watch videos in the future that I have to sit thru a commercial every couple of minutes. I honestly can't believe I did that.

They probably will still deny there is even a rough section that needs to be fixed.
