Not in Miss Mary's Time! (MAJOR breaks in the SDC Theme.)

When my wife was in the ER last week, I got on Youtube and went to my happy place. Is that wrong?

I hardly ever ride the rides unless I'm with a friend who refuses to do anything but waste all day in a line. When I'm with my family, or by myself, I usually just walk around, shopping, watching shows, etc. I usually ALWAYS ride FITH whether I'm by myself or not. Last time I was there, I got to ride with the "Far Chief" who was inspecting the ride. That was kinda cool to go home and tell my friends. Only one cared, but it was cool to me!!
My rule on rides, I don't mind riding them if the line isn't more than 30 minutes long. Like FITH hardly ever has a super busy line while I'm there, takes 5 minutes to get in and ride. I only ride PowderKeg every once in a while, because the line always takes way longer than I would like it to.
So what I'm saying is, wasn't the original plan of SDC to be a small Ozark village? Then it just happened to turn into a theme park? I believe we should try to see it as that. After all, the main goal of America was to gain freedom, and everybody celebrates that everyday!

I planned on riding by myself, and when I crossed over to put my sunglasses in the cubby, he sat down in the row I was in, then moved over to the seat closest to loading gates so I could ride next to him!

Awesome picture Tiffany!

That’s a very unique experience to ride with one of the top “firemen.”

okiebluegrass that's funny that you should say that about your "happy place".  My mom has been in ICU since June.  Oftentimes, I will sit in the waiting room with my computer and go to my "happy place" doing the same thing as you.  I look thru SDC family photos and websites such as this one, and I feel better.  No, it's not wrong that you did that!!

while at the city over the weekend something that i saw, that was very obvious was equipment and truck tires "footprints" in the asphalt.

They are very noticable in the upper square area.

I am guessing that the extreme heat the 5 or 6 weeks, and not cooling off at nite, the vehicles left tracks during regular maintenece.

Not a big deal.  But VERY noticable!  I have always seen a few tracks through out the city..  but this weekend seemed very extreme.

That's interesting. I have noticed the tracks before here, and there but they were rather isolated. I don't think they have done any new paving recently at the park, so it would be interesting to know if the hot summer heat was indeed the culprit.

Last year, my friends and I were there on a really hot day, and we were leaving footprints in the walkway near Sullivan's Mill because it was so hot!
