Kolr is reporting the situ will he closed in the interest of the safety of the citizens and visitors.
-
WOW! good for them!
not even talking about the ice, it will be too cold for employees and customers to be out today//
-
I read that on FB. Has this ever happened before ?
-
They closed one day last year didn't they?
-
I was in the park the morning after a HUGE ice storm, and there were only a few others in the park...amazing trip! Glad they are looking out for their workers/patrons.
-
The old timers said not in recent memory. Last year they opened one section at a time as we cleared the snow.
-
"Parks closed today, folks. The
moose Christmas wreath out front should have told ya." ;)
Though my sympathies do go out to those who have plans to visit SDC today and this weekend. We were planning on coming down this weekend--still are, but things aren't looking so hot. The kids still want to come down to SDC this weekend even though they know they won't be able ride any rides. Which says a lot about SDC, cause they certainly wouldn't want to go to 6-flags if the rides were closed, and that park is a whole lot closer to us. Oh well, we'll just have to see what Mother Nature dishes out.

Maybe they'll put Tinker the talking Christmas Tree out front!
-
TINKER!!!!! Love Tinker.!!!
Showboat ran at noon today, but 4 oclock cruise is cancelled

-
That's what I am here for! ;D
-
Anybody know what happened to tinker? ???
-
Tinker wound up just like a lot of old Christmas trees do, sunk with a concrete block in Table Rock Lake for a fish habitat! (Ha! Couldn't resist the joke! ;))
-
LOL Junior.... better than my answer!! (firewood)
-
Tinker? Took a wrong turn in life and joined the Killer Christmas Trees on Saturday Night Live.
-

That would be awesome. We loved Tinker. I talked to SDC's General Manager about why Tinker left. They just thought it was time for something new, so they sent Tinker to the "tree farm" and brought in Frosty. I suppose next year we'll have something to do with Rudolph.
-
No, Rudolph is for the parade.
-
So I had to look it up, and whoever can might want to split this topic because I have a feeling this will create some buzz... I present to you Tinker the Talking Christmas Tree!

This is Tinker at Dollywood the Christmas after He/She left Silver Dollar City (does anyone know the gender? Well, if there was any confusion there is none now...

This is Tinker at Wild Adventures in 2012, and according to their website HE will be returning this year! So there you have it, Tinker is alive and well and has become quite the grown up with that awesome mustache!
-
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am now VERY thankful that during my employment I only had to dress like a crazy hillbilly! Those guys dressed like tall elves, well, all I can say is MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'm sure the talking Christmas tree show is a cute one for the kids. :)
-
I always laughed at tinkers stories/jokes..
I couldn't remember where he ended up, I knew it came up in conversation last year.
Thanks Hollywood for the pics and info.
On another note: COLD today in branson and appears to be 6-8 inches of snow...???? HMMM city open today? no announcement yet>?? ???

IF you go today, stay warm......... TAKE LOTS OF PICS!!!!!!...
;D ;D ;D ;D
-

Snow in the CITY is beautiful....we were there in early May when it snowed. The Pickers said we brought it down from WI. with us.
-
Cheeseheads.! that's funny, because paige and the rest oft he crew accused us of bringing with us.!! LOL..
its nice to have someone to share the blame with.. ;)
stay warm and dry.
-
It was beautiful in March covered in snow. Of course the walkways was not covered just the trees. Made it one of the most memorable trips to SDC ever. Even though nothing was open. The view in snow was breathtaking. I will always remember that visit.
I can only imagine the entire place blanketed with snow and the Christmas lights shining/reflecting off the snow. I almost wish I would have waited till this weekend to go.
-
I would love to make a fly down trip to see the city this weekend... but with a chance of snow up here I cant leave the area. ((if it snow I have to clear parking lots for clients))
I am hoping someone from here gets pics,,, maybe tinman or someone else........
I bet it looks great!!
-
Check out my thread started today. I put up some photos a friend has taken today. Just put up night photos.
-
Ice in branson area again... SDC will be open, but local schools cancelled again.....
Thanks to Terry for posting on FB,,,...
-
We plan to go...if daughter starts feeling better. If not this afternoon, perhaps tomorrow.

I heard about the bad weather on the morning news. I hope they're open for you tomorrow, History Buff!
-
Another weekend ruined. Guess I won't be going this weekend either...
We got ice up here today though my school went the full day (a bunch of the smaller ones got out though)
-
Really, REALLY cold yesterday. I was glad to have an insulated Buzzsaw Falls cup (one found a few years ago when someone left it sitting in the City), as the hot chocolate quickly turned into a fudgesicle in a regular cup. I was disappointed when, both on Friday and Saturday, there were no candy canes to stick into the chocolatey goodness. Santa is apparently hoarding the canes!
The bigger issue was that we had a sick daughter on Friday morning, but she was feeling better so we went to Branson in the afternoon (since school was called off for both of us). Then, Sunday morning, the boy started throwing up, giving us the perfect bookend to the weekend.
We were amazed by how much snow SDC brought in for this year's festivities. By the time we returned to Joplin, we noticed only small patches of snow, when Springfield and Branson still had snow on the side streets, on rooftops, and in the trees. The drive to and from was grand.

My wife's school about halfway to CoMo was released early Friday, but we stayed in for the long haul and finished out our day.

What schools do you work at? California (where I work) was in session all day, but Russelville, and a lot of the other small schools let out early

I am in Francis Howell, the wife is in Warrenton.
