Title: My son's Flooded Mine outfit
Post by: coalesce99 on November 14, 2011, 10:57:39 AM
Everyone got a real kick out of this.

Kind of funny, though -- some ignorant person actually asked him "what does that prisoner outfit have to do with Silver Dollar City?"

Everyone else though, from employees to patrons, really liked it.

He kept saying "I work here. This is my house."

Then on Sunday when he didn't wear it, he told the guys at the Mine that "I don't work on Sundays."

Now that's a hardcore SDC fan! As a former "prisoner" at the Flooded Mine ('80-'81) I must say he looks authentic! Glad he had fun on his trip.

The guys at the train depot were having fun with him. They spotted him from a ways away. And...my son is such a ham and not shy at all...so he was yukking it up with them.

When asked what he wants to do when he grows up, that's what he says -- "Work at the Flooded Mine."

My goal in life is to be an entertainer at SDC! (Preferably Saloon Girl :))
Title: Re: My son's Flooded Mine outfit
Post by: sanddunerider on November 15, 2011, 04:40:59 PM
AND what a fine saloon girl you would make!! :o :o

You can always practice at the 3,000 club room! ;)
Title: Re: My son's Flooded Mine outfit
Post by: tiffanylynnt on November 15, 2011, 05:35:37 PM
I'm working on it!!

Tiffany: There is no reason in the world not to apply for a job at SDC. Don't be disappointed if you start out somewhere other than the saloon, anyone with a bright personality and a pinch of talent should give it a try. I started out as a busboy in a restaurant, transferred to a ride where I pretty much just loaded people in and out of boats, and then was later transferred by my bosses to a ride...an attraction...that allowed me to act and play a character. (Diving bell) It was a fun seven years, they were from my junior year in high school through the first half of college. I've always been able to carry a little bit of that ole SDC spirit with me in my life, no matter where I worked. If you get a job on the park, you'll find out that after you leave and go elsewhere, you will spread a little of that SDC spirit no matter where you go. SO GIVE IT A TRY! Good luck!  ;D

You know, my wife and I have seriously discussed moving back to that area when we retire and getting jobs at the City to supplement the ol' income.  Sure, it would be work while we're supposed to be retired, but it beats all heck out of greeting at Wally World. . . .  "Welcome to Walmart:  Mouthwash, Aisle 10."  "Welcome to Walmart; Deodorant, Aisle 7."  (Thanks for the laughs, Irving!)

I noticed on SDC's website when they had auditions for OTC, but there was no possible way for me to make it there the day of auditions plus I would have to be available for Oct-Dec and I couldn't do that with school. I don't know if I would like working rides. Plus I still have another year and a half of college before I can transfer so SDC will probably have to wait til then. 2013. That seems so far away!!

One thing to follow up about anyone wanting to get at job at SDC: If you do get a job there, and you treat it like it's nothing special, then quit and find something else to do. One reason why I worked there is because when I was an 8 year old kid, an interactive experience I had with the Hatfield/McCoy actors was so special, so memorable, so fun, so exciting, that when my parents announced we were moving to Branson I immediately told them I was going to get a job at SDC. I tried each day I worked there to give people a fun, special and happy time...I tried to move people emotionally just like those Hatfield/McCoy actors did for me when I was a kid. If SDC is just another job to you...then you are working at the wrong place...keep this in mind SDC IS A SPECIAL PLACE if you work there, you are very lucky to be able to do so...each day should be special to you and you should try hard each day to positively touch and influence those guests you come into contact with. Remember, the company motto is MAKE MEMORIES WORTH REPEATING.  :D

There is no place I'd rather be than SDC, so I don't think that would be a problem for me!
I've been a few times over the summer and I've seen some people who I guess were there as a summer job because I've only seen them once. Half of them looked like they hated their life and it put a damper on my day to see people not caring for the guests or even pretending to.

yall I am serious. If I could work some kind of deal with the Hershend Company to have a PT area in the first aid part of the park, wow would I be a happy camper. Or maybe a PT office somewhere in the park. I could theme it up.

An addition to the 3K house will be a must for Missin' to come and rehab all our carpal tunnel from the site! We do have a welness policy ( think you have to with all of the food at the Park!) and it would include the neccessary PT/ OT needed to be able to successfully return to our duties at the park.
