I'm not exactly a Newbie, but I'll post here anyway to "make it official". I've been going to SDC basically since I was born. My parents used to fish Table Rock Lake every year. One year they heard about this new place Silver Dollar City. So, my mom and her friend thought they'd try it out (with the kids, of course, while the dads fished), and the rest is history. We've averaged at least one visit a year since then. I'm 44, so I haven't been around since the park began, but almost so. It's easily my favorite theme park, and I like something about most of the ones I've visited, so that's saying something. No other park is as relaxing and as good at letting you get away from the hubbub of life. Every time we go, the first thing my mom (now coming with her grandkids) says as we walk in is, "We're back home!"
