General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Passing of SDC citizen..

« on: August 10, 2015, 11:06:23 PM »

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.

Other Parks / Re: dogpatch usa

« on: January 15, 2015, 08:31:08 PM »

Just found this thread.
I've done work for Abandoned Oklahoma & my post on there is in a link previously mentioned in the earlier pages.
So thanks for the compliments guys. Yes my first visit was unplanned & spur of the moment & did not have permission to be at the park. I don't condone trespassing either. I always try to find the owner before i take photos.

On our second visit we had met locals living atop the hill where the parking lot used to be.
"Purple Dennis" gave my crew & I a tour & let us walk about freely.
Here is my post on my new site with different photos than the set that was on Abandoned Oklahoma.

I just spent 2 & a half days reading this thread between work & sleep.
I don't want it to end! I have had the best time ever reading this one.
There was a post in there about FITH having car seats in the cars for the youngsters. I don't think anybody answered that one.
I remember them but i don't know what year they quit using them.

Well besides wanting to bring this thread back to the surface (because its a good one).
What are Red Flanders final words?  I've always wondered & I'm sure its been answered before somewhere on here.
Btw has anyone noticed that the first Baldknobber shooting the window, his rifle is falling apart!
If I worked that ride I would at least change it out with another replica rifle. For goodness sake its not that hard, are employees/citizens not allowed to inspect the scenery or tell Maintenance ?

Thats what I wanted to get into. The histories & the significance of The "Themed" fire stations.
As far back as I can remember (early 80's) FITH had always been Fire station #1 though it may be off topic a bit.

Also about the complaining. Hey its not what I wanted to see either but ya know what?
Its all about memories created.
My daughter is 11 now & shes been coming to SDC since she was a baby. Her memories are going to involve GE & GG & now OR & FL.
Just as mine were the Diving Bell & The original AP & Tom Sawyers Tree house & infinity room.

Things Change we just got to accept it & have fun. I was never crazy about GG when First saw it but my daughter had a blast in it that's all that matters to me.

SDC will always be my park. I've only been to WOF twice. & no other theme parks & I don't care because SDC is my home lol
So cheers to HFE.

Hey I dig it. My vote was for the old Fireworks factory but thats ok.
The area looks beautiful though & it will be a great adornment to Lake Silver.

Here's my thought though. Will it add or take away interest in FITH. Since there is a new Fireman theme going on will they put any of that love into Fire station No.1
No one has talked about the impact it may or may not have on it.

.....& for goodness sake Where is Fire Station No.2

While Shoosh beat me to the punch (with his much better photos) I still want to make a contribution (trying to prove my worth) with my cell phone pics taken from GG.

These are from July 4th as well.

Since I have heard no official word on whether SDC is going to have a fire works display. What other places have a good show?
I heard SOTH is going to do a fireworks show but we will have already seen the play the night before.
