Silver Doller City has a Spirit. It feels solid, and like it has a real history, becouse it does. For a hundred years and more people have come to that hilltop to experiance somthing different in there lives. From the first cave explorers, the miners and there familys, the Lynches and there tourists, the arival of the Hershends and there desire to build something unique, through to the present day, this is a genuine Experience. No other theme park can touch this. Go to Disney, Six Flags, etc. and look at the Employees. Does that smile reach their eyes? Do they seem genuinely glad to be there?
Years ago there was a song in SDC's first promo film "A Place in Time" (1975-76) that went:
Theres a place where things are simple, pure, and pretty
an honest place hand made by honest men
and when folks come to Silver Dollar City
they somehow feel their commin' home again.
Silver Dollar City has a reason
for keepin' things the way thay've always been
Where nothin' ever changes but the seasons
and folks who come back once, come back again.
Over the years so many people said the same thing to me that I felt, that no matter what changed, it was and always will be, our home.
