This made my two days (Sun and Tues) at the park very much bearable. The girl rode powderkeg for the first time and in the dark. Sweet!
How were the lines for the rides? Moonlight Madness has the same scenario as Spring Break Days because most of the shops are closed and there's very few shows going on. That can make for some pretty long wait times on the rides.
When I went last Tues the line for wf was only 2 mins pk was prob 30 TNT 0 so I didn't think it was that bad. when I went back to the city on thur there was only 4,600 people on park at 3:15. It was nice to not have to wait in line. Pk was closed till 11.30 due to maintenance
I'm glad to hear that everyone had such a great time! Was there any out of theme music at all?
Well I want to say thank you to SDC period. Because of SDC my little boy's eyes light up when we see an SDC commercial on our local tv stations. It was only 7 days ago and him and I both want to go back. Totally gonna try to get passes next spring. I grew up playing there every other weekend on average and I want my kids to have the same memories as I do. I get so caught up in my thoughts and feelings and memories when I talk or even think about SDC. My entire family had passes (close to 20 of us at the time.) I have memories of my dad (whom passed away this past winter) and I there. I also have memories of my granddad and I there (he's been gone 6 years this month.) My other grandad used to go with our big family groups back before his brain tumor and stroke. Now it's almost impossible for him to go even in his electric wheelchair. (By the way we still have him) SDC is so special to me. I am glad to have a place to take my children that I know will be a positive place for them and we can all have fun together just like I did when I was young. So yes thank you Moonlight Madness but more so thank you SDC for everything you have given me and family.
Get your season passes before Jan 1st for the most perks like take friend for free passes.
It was still 108 here in OKC at 10:30 last night, how hot has it been at moonlight madness.
During the couple hours we spent after 5 last weekend, most of what we heard was at least modern. Some very out of theme stuff during the day even. The Homestead Pickers dealt with it by chosing a loud and fast last number to compete ;)

So it isn't so! There are lots of popular songs out today that have be remade with a bluegrass cover. I would much rather Silver Dollar City use something like that than the blasted modern music. >:(
HAYSEED DIXIE!!! ROFL ;D ;D ;D ;D
So are they playing any 50 Cent or Snoop Dogg at Moonlight Madness, or is it simple things like the Bunny Hop and Elvis songs? Last year I heard many people complain about the music on this thread! So how has the music been this year at MM?
50 cent? snoop dog?
What are those junior? is that some kind of disease? is it curable>
LOL...
Well...it is some kind of disease, but I won't go any further.... :o
:D :D :D Now that was FUNNY!!, i dont care who you are!!!!! :D :D
We havent ever been to moonlight madness, my kids (or honestly me) dont stay up that late.
But I have a question about the music complaints...
Where do you hear music at the park?
I know you hear it in the ride lines but I dont feel like I am in there long enough that music sets the tone for the day.
Am I just missing something? Because I feel like I am.
I heard lots of modern day pop country in the ride lines like PowderKeg. I'd prefer ACDC for a ride like that if it's out of theme. :P
I think I've decided that I'm okay with modern music during MM, as long as it's country.
I love Lady Gaga, but it pissed me off so much when I heard her on the Powderkeg speakers at 11am last year. Her music doesn't belong at a park with a "western-ish" theme. Modern country... that's a bit better.
Modern country music during Moonlight Madness sounds like the perfect balance. It's fresh, hip, and doesn't compromise the integrity of the theme. :)
Exactamundo!
we had a ok time, but it sucked cause it was stormy and all the rides shut down, some opend back up, but TNT never did I heard a tree fell on the tracks :( And I HATE HATE HATE the new country coming out of the speakers. its SDC its supposed to be playing banjo music!! ( I LOVE COUNRTY MUSIC BTW, not hating on the music its just not for SDC!!)
Don't fret. Moonlight Madness is just a mini festival, and once it is over the music will return to the traditional bluegrass.
Or at least it better! ;)
