General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Where in the City? (2016)
« on: August 03, 2016, 01:19:56 PM »
My last guess and I don't think this sign is red. But is there not a sign that says Thank you FOR visiting Wilson's farm as you exit the area ?

Nailed it! 8)

I was at the park on Saturday, and guess what I saw? Scooby Doo, and Shaggy being escorted through the park! Now, to be fair they were probably just walking from point A to point B, and I never saw them again throughout the day. However, Silver Dollar City officially "broke the fourth wall" on theme at that point. :o

According to Silver Dollar City's website, they plan to host several Character Breakfasts to include Scooby Doo, and Shaggy, along with Sponge Bob Square Pants, and Patrick.

I can remember as a kid in the 1990's how prevalent Nickelodeon was all over the park. Being a youngster, I didn't appreciate the theme aspect of the park like I do today. I just recall how much I did not want to end up with green slime on my head! Haha.

I can definitely understand the sentiments voiced here. However, as long as these cheap characters remain hidden in an enclosed breakfast area, and are not roaming the park, then I can look passed it.

I completely agree with the lack of originality, and creativity. The picture on Facebook definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully, the Ninja Turtles will be limited to an enclosed breakfast area, and will not be free roaming the park.

I think Silver Dollar City does great job with their character actors. Of course you have Terry, and Mandi, and the other street troupe crew. The train robbers are always a hoot. I would not say that Silver Dollar City has lost touch with their roots. Rather, I think Silver Dollar City wanted a cheap gimmick to entice kids, and parents to come to the park, and spend money on a special breakfast.

Frustrating? Yes. Disappointing? Absolutely. However, as long as the Ninja Turtles are not a permanent staple or focal point, I don't anticipate it being a deal breaker for most.

And frankly, I don't understand why in the world they would not have Lucky the Dog at one of these breakfasts. He's a character they specifically created for SDC!!! Makes no sense.

I agree! However, let's face it. Lucky the Dog just does not have the universal appeal of the Ninja Turtles.

And in other news, Silver Dollar City has subsequently renamed Outlaw Run to Fire in the Hole 2. ;D
...Glad to hear the damage is repairable, and no one was hurt. :)

I bought some freshly old lye soap in the General Store. They still had a bit left a week, or so ago. :)

Brings new meaning to "burning down the house!"  :)

Glad no one was hurt, and the emergency was handled quickly.

My father rode it backwards once, and he said "never again!" Riding backwards just messed with his senses. I sort of agree. I like to see where I am going, not where I have been. However, I can definitely see the appeal of riding backwards.

I have yet to receive mine, but maybe I will get it tonight. Ironically enough, I will be at the park this weekend. :P

1970's, and 80's retro is really in these days. I love merchandising! Bringing back old designs would be a great way for Silver Dollar City to showcase that they have not forgotten their roots.

Branson Talk / Re: Gary Snadon passed away (SOTH)

Thanks for the links! It definitely adds merit to why the play was closed down so swiftly. Interestingly enough, even though the play is based on fictional stories, Mr. Snadon's contributions to area will forever be a part of the real Branson history!

I haven't received anything yet. Did you say that 2014 is the last of the Christmas lights parade? That's an interesting tidbit! I am curious how they are going to pull off the Star Spangled Summer festival all summer long. Although I am sure it will be very popular around July 4th.

I may be in the minority here, but revamping the American Plunge to something similar to the Buzzsaw Falls theme is an excellent idea! I mean really! It makes perfect sense as the American Pluge uses log shaped boats. Except for the entrance sign, the American Plunge has little to no theme at all currently. An old log cutting factory would make for a great new theme for the ride. ;D

The red, and orange area sounds good for development. The purple is infringing too much on the parking lot / roadway. It's already annoying that I can see the parking lot on ThuNderaTion. :P

However, instead of cutting down more trees, I agree with most everyone else - just revamp what already exists.

And to add to what Junior asked, is anyone going as a Silver Dollar City, or Branson character? :)
