Branson Talk / Re: Trolleys gone from the Landing

« on: March 20, 2011, 05:17:38 PM »

downtown now and do see those trolleys still going.  that is good.  those would have been a MAJOR loss..

Also i always use the parking garage, it is centrally localted, finding a spot is easy, has elevators...   I know some people dont like the garage, but i do.,.  I think it is 3 bucks for 4hours.  something like that.  in fact headed there now!

Have some pics to  post later tonight, been to sdc and past ww this afternoon.

No train!  No train.! 

look at the pics, appears with the adults in the background the train is very short.. No way for adults to get in and out easily...

Looks like a "trap", for the parents!  kids see the train and "have" to ride!

WRONG!  WRONG!!  WRONG!!

Should have starting charging a small fee on trolleys....!!!!!!!!!

OK. off soapbox now.  Sorry


mhguy, late afternoon?  I would pay 5.00 for a ride up the hill.  LOL!!

WOW!  thats a pretty impressive number for opening day on a thursday.

If i remember on their 50th weekend they had about 15,000 per day.
so 13,000 is a very respectable number,

PTB have to be happy with that turnout!

They were "unique" to the downtown area...

You park in the parking lot and ride the tram in..... then you dont get off and then ride back to the lot.......  then back to SDC to see the sites!
