2013 Attendance (Split Topic)

[Ozark Outlaw]

I am definitely not going to Silver Dollar City on Thanksgiving again this year! It was too crowded that Saturday.

However, I do plan to attend sometime during Old Time Christmas.

That's about the best day to go.  When hubs and I started going, it was dead on Thanksgiving, but busy the next day.  Now it's just as bad as the day after, and the day before isn't too far behind.

Big day at the city yestarday,(sat),,  ove 17,000 people....   what a great day, no rain, wind,clouds and in the mid 60's.

Not really OTC weather but.....................

Another beautiful day..  Had over 11,000 at the city on sunday, The PTB was only projecting 8,000..

 with almost 18 there on sat...   that's is a pretty good weekend number ...

everybody should be happy with that!!

With today being a holiday for so many, I thought Sunday would be super crowded!  The weather was nice too, wasn't it?

[Hatfield McCoy]

Hey all.  Would anyone have a guesstimation of what it is going to be like as far as projected attendance Thursday 14 or Friday 15?  We are considering going down and would rather go on Thursday, but might not be able to until Friday.  Friday Crowds kind of worry us though, with four kids and two strollers.

Either of those days will be alright- attendance will probably be around 8,000 on Thr and 8,500 on Fri.  There is a chance of rain on Fri.  Friday tends to be a little busier then Thr, but not much unless school is out.

[sanddunerider]

Hatfield,, I wouldn't think their would be any kind of a crowd on thurs/Friday.    6 -8,000 each day maybe..  GO!!  ENJOY!! weather should be warmer too.!!

[Gilligan]

Do what Sanddune suggested.  He's pretty good about tracking attendance and weather for us.  Have a great time!

Beautiful weather today at SDC.  Not much of a crowd early in the day.  Great buffet of turkey and ham.  We really enjoyed It's a Wonderful Life.

[Hatfield McCoy]

Thanks guys!  We took your advice and were able to go on Thursday.  The crowd was light and the lines incredibly short.  We really had a good time.  It was a semi-birthday trip for my little girl and she had a blast.  Funnel cakes,  and puppets for her and her little brother.  Great trip!  This site still impresses me with helpful inside knowledge.

Thanks again.
