Haven't looked at it much yet, but wanted to the first to say it! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Got mine too. Short and sweet.
Funny!!,, OK then let me be the first to say........ NOPE! aint seen it yet! ;)
I got one yesterday, and that is a miracle. I'm usually in the "last to receive" or "you aren't getting one" group.
One came in to work today. On the back page (or is it the front?) there's a picture saying "Carrie Nation returns to Silver Dollar Saloon. All New Show."
Also of note in 2014: New Wild West show for Harvest Fest. Final year of the Pinkerton Man. New Holly Jolly Christmas light parade.
Only 3 years for pinkerton man? a lot of work for only years, but maybe they are going to redo it, using the same set and a new name....... OR maybe they will redo it and have relate it to the new "ride" for 2015???? HMMMM??????
surprised at the NEW show at saloon, since this year was a new show... glad to see it happen/// they should be able to have "new" shows every year... or at least rotate them from year to year..
Carrie Nation..... I look forward to that. The old salon show was way politically incorrect, I miss it.
:(.....not yet.
Carrie Nation! Wow :o
>:( >:( >:( Havent got mine either!!!!!
Carrie Nation..... Sweeeeeet
Wonder if they can figure out a way to intermingle Carrie and ol Mean Murphy
Agreed.... Carrie Nation and mean Murphey at the same time would be awesome
It seems they are finally rotating those shows more often. I can't say I like the one where they pull the people onto stage and stick their heads into goofy miniature western costumes. I really think that show is only funny to the relatives of the "volunteers".
they did that at the christmas show..... I just like the "variance"......
I wish we could get a show rotation in the Opera House! I make a motion to begin a Listen-to-the-River/For-the-Glory/Headin'-West rotation. Will anyone second the motion?
HB, That would be a great start..... ;)
Buff-numbers are final. You made the motion. Sanddune second. If I make the third-well that is more than standard. I think it must be done.
All in favor, say aye.
Aye

That idea has my vote!
I will say AYE!!!
In Church we say "all In Favor Say AMEN" so AMEN
OH YEAH BTW!!! my times arrived today. I read while visiting my dying uncle in the hospital.
Where is mine???
BUFF-I will throw mine in your direction. can you catch well?
Or should I stick it in a bottle and toss it on the river for ya?
;D ;D ;D
Chunk it over this way, Q.
Surely mine will arrive soon.
The odd thing about this is, I didn't buy season passes this past year (2013) and I'm pretty sure I got every Times. Every other year it's been hit and miss. I did buy 2014 passes, but that was just the other day. We'll see how it goes this year.
Just remember this. It took 9 days for the tickets that Gilligan sent my son to go less than 150 miles. We are talking about a govt. Organization. No hurry. Try to be patient, it will arrive. But it certainly stinks for sure
Wel HEY!! postage went up 3cents... so I am sure that will speed up the process!!!!
QuoteListen-to-the-River/For-the-Glory/Headin'-West rotation. Will anyone second the motion?
I agree
Most of the information can be found on the website. I wish they would cut the passes $5 and do away with the newsletter by mail.
I haven't seen this one, but I'm pretty sure they're making a profit by selling the advertising. It certainly doesn't cost them $5 a piece to send them (or $20 if they repay me $5 for each of the four in my family).
newsletter is amoney maker for the park... with the push on SP's, pictures of the park, the additional advertising..
I dont know how many thousands of fliers they send. But they reach people who hav not been to the park for years... or never has been there..
Got mine in the mail today!
Ours came too.
Of note:
A couple of concept pictures of the new light parade.
Last year for Pinkerton
Would love to see Carrie Nation look like the poster pictured
Only a couple of shows listed for Star-Spangled Summer - Hope there's more to offer than that
No mention of Christmas ornaments, but I think that's typical, though I don't know why
I think the "TIMES" should continue. I dont know the exact cost of these things, but it must be cheap cheap. I just got in a whole big bunch of trouble at work. I made a mistake on 10,000 books for Emerson Fans. The folks at Emerson Fans has agreed to the "fix" that we offered, but would like the whole job FREE. The whole job was 50,000 books, and our bill to them was $10,159. So I know a cheap flyer that gets printed on cheap paper, folded, inkjet, mail all inline. Plus getting the cheaper USPS rates for "flats". Cant cost much
So I say bring on the "times". a few times a year. Maybe even all 4 seasons. Bring It. Keep it comin SDC.
Got mine in the mail yesterday. I'm excited for the return of a magic show to the summer festival. I'm also excited about the acts listed for world fest. I skipped sdc for the past two years so looking forward to this year.
Got mine Saturday the 11th.
I'm excited about Carrie Nation making a comeback at the Saloon, since she was before my time, but I'm uber-sad, too, 'cause I didn't make it to the Saloon last year to see the Mean Murphy show, which I was really excited about because Mean Murphy was at the Saloon around the time I started going to the park as a kid.
I would love to see Carrie bust up the bar like in the old days but I wont count on it. I was told they removed all the gags years ago.
so no fancy mirror from Saint Looey then?
got my March issue of the "Times" today (Feb 15). havent even popped the wafer seals yet. Sitting here starring at it though. I cant wait to rip it open.
Parents, my brother, & us, all got ours yesterday. :D
Quoteso no fancy mirror from Saint Looey then?
Nope no mirror anymore beck behind the other one. They have pulled these things out of the saloon. Just like the painting that covered itself after Carrie called it shameless. The old strobes and the fight was the fun of the saloon.
Shelves knocked off the wall, the curtain on the stage being pulled part way down........ ect
I was told by a reliable source that the reason Carrie left in the first place was complaints to SDC by patrons that were offended that Carrie was making fun of the televangelists in her comical delivery. SDC has suffered by trying to please all partys and trying to be too politically correct. I say lets play a little looser with our comedy and enjoy ourselves. Bring back Carrie 2.0. with the axes, strobe lights, broken mirrors, knocked down shelves and pulled curtains. They go together!
Agreed. (Those televangelists of the late 19th century were just asking for it anyway!)
mhguy77, that is the first time I've ever heard that thing about televangelists, but it makes sense. SDC goes with the flow, and if folks don't want to see something...it will be gone. Funny though throughout the '70s nobody lodged complaints, and times outside the park changed, so that is what led to the show at the saloon changing.
