Construction/Rumors / Re: SDC's 2023 Project(s) and Park Developments

Removing FITH would open up the opportunity to run a pathway/crossing back there and connect to Outlaw Run's area. Would make it a bit less of a confusing dead end, which is something the park has been working slowly towards removing. Eventually we'll be able to walk around the lake, from GE to FL, and maybe even from Wildfire to Powderkeg one day.

There is a lot of space there, so I'm sure they could try to shove in another ride as well. Maybe a drop tower like DW's?

Oh. I think they would for sure put something else in there besides just the station.. too many square feet for just the train.

I was thinking someone mentioned that might be the location of the new train station.

I doubt that would happen, thats is some prime real estate for another ride/attraction.

I think their thought was it would be closer to the round house for the engineers.  Then open up for redevelopment the area of the old station and FM when removed.

Thats a lot of area where FITH is now, Be a lot of space to reuse, be interestingto see drawings of that proposal.
 
IF they did make it the new station,
then the old station and FM would probably be revamped all at 1 time into an all new attraction..  Another interesting drawing to see..

Looks like we're finally going to get to go on either 9/30 or 10/1, probably the latter (as it a Thursday), but weather will play a role in the decision.  It's been almost two years!

LOL.  small detail... according to my calender 10-1 is a Friday?

OOOooops!  Yeah, I meant the FORMER.  (Reminder:  engage brain before typing.)
 

Okey Dokey, I got that..!! 
LOL, 
not being a Smart A**,   
But sometime little details, really mess up the big plans!!

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Daily attendance post for 2021?

I always enjoyed checking the daily attendance log on here when we were planning a trip in the near future, and now I’m not finding one for 2021 at all?

That information flow all came to an abrubt end last year..  why you ask?   
well because of COVID!!!!!  of course, !!
It has not been put back into place, and the way things are going this year, may never come back.,

They are having a hard time getting enough workers to fill the jobs.

 Since the missouri governor announced they would no longer be receiving the "extra" money for unemployment and so on, as of June 12th..   

Hopefully people will get out and look for work..

I never remember this place being open and we were regular LOTO visitors beginning in the late 80's, so I'm guessing it closed mid 80's or earlier.  Also I would call this area "the Strip" when referring to LOTO.  For me "the Strip" refers to the Bagnell Dam area, with 10 cent skeeball, old arcades, and lots of the kitchy tourist stuff.

Yes,  The "strip" was a real tourist trap..  i do remember playing lots of Skeeball and arcades there.  used to stay at a place just up the lake from the Dam,  cant remember the name... this was back in the 60-late70's

Thoughts on how crowds will be on Sunday the 30th? It is the day before Memorial Day.

IF the weather clears up, it will be busy. always is.  Sat will be worse, But there will be some serious traffic.  enjoy!

And if my eyes were not deceiving me Grandfather's Mansion was open.  I did not go inside but both doors were open and I did see people entering and leaving.

That is good to hear.   
I also figured it would lay there, in demise and slowly be dismissed from the "things to do" list..
