Trams, off subject but...did you finish your schooling? Physical therapy I think?

Came up today and spent the day in Branson Landing. I will be out at SDC all day tomorrow. I am SO ready and so excited! YEEEEEEE!!!!!!
-
I will be at the city Saturday 9th. I will tentivally have a spare BAF if anyone is lacking one.
-
We too will be at the city the 9th &/or 10th. Looking forward to World Fest!
-
I will be there the 7th. The first day of the last World Fest.
-
So I will have a spare ticket should anyone need it for Saturday the 9th. :D
-
I'm thinking I'll be around for the weekend of the 21st.
-
^ We'll miss you by a week- will be there on the 14th - 15th.

Looks like we will be there far a while on the 15th also..

I will be at SDC this Saturday for Founders Weekend activities. I will be on the town square prior to rope drop, and hope to take part in a special opening ceremony featuring former employees. Hope to see some sdcfans there. Come on up and say hello. I am a mid 50s, big ol' fat gent, with salt and pepper short hair and beard. Likely I will wear jeans and a red shirt. :)
-
I will be there Saturday as well! Dont know if I will participate in the former employee activities though.... :/
-
Looks like our clan will be there 5/28.

Injun Joe will be in the park tomorrow for the first time in over 15 years. I plan to be hootin', hollerin', and generally whoopin' it up with tomahawk in hand from ropedrop to close, or at least that is the plan. Its been a long time and hopefully I get some of that old feeling again. This will also be the first time I've been to any park solo, but I just can't pass up this unique opportunity, so clear a (war)path, and hide the squaws and li'l injuns, I'm comin' thru.

So have you been there since WF was built?
-
No, in fact I have not. The last thing I rode at SDC was Buzzsaw Falls. I also rode the Waterboggan that day. I've put on a lot of weight since then so hopefully I can fit on the coasters still. The last time I rode a coaster was Batman in St. Louis and they literally stuffed me into the over the shoulders. Two girls kept pushing till I fit. Lol.
But no worries here, they'll be fun had no matter what. Prior to that last trip, I was at the City often, so I can't wait to see all the changes I've only read about over the years. And I'm excited to be seeing what hasn't changed too, maybe even more so.
Tonight I am on the strip and I must say I was very impressed. I was under the impression that at least some of it was distressed but from 65 to Track 5 anyway it looks absolutely fantastic. I'm a little old to be hanging out at the Track alone though so I've only enjoyed the karts and mini golf from a distance. Maybe next time. The ferris wheel looks great but I was disappointed the heli wasn't operating, as I think I have the nerve now.
I did, however walk through the Memory Barn at the toy museum and was thoroughly impressed. I only wish I had gotten there earlier so I could have seen the entire facility and enjoyed it at a less hurried pace. The proprietors were extremely accommodating though and gave me a discounted admission and offered to let me come back in the morning for free! Some things never change down here, it's good to know. Unfortunately, I'll have to tour it more completely on my next visit. It really is neat.
I walked back around the bend (pretty active area tonight) to the Hollywood Wax Museum. It was just as cool as I remembered from before. I wanted to stop in Ozarkland, but they were closed for the evening. So I bought a lovely green Branson "truckers hat" in the wax museum gift shop and called it a night after stopping in the Wendy's for a quick bite.
Strangely enough, I was waited on by a nice lady from Jamaica. I informed her that I had met a lady from Jamaica earlier working the bumper boats at Track 4. (while walking by, I had asked her if she ever felt like just jumping in and going swimming, to which she replied, no because it was too cold and she was from warm Jamaica.) The counter lady then informed me that there was another lady from Jamaica working at the Wendy's and proceeded to trot her out. Needless to say, I was somewhat perplexed. I think maybe a vacation to Jamaica is in my future. I shoulda had my palm read at the gas station cater corner from Clay Coopers.
Anyways, good times and if you're on site tomorrow, b sure to holler. I'll have my hat on looking for you and will check in here periodically through the day so long as I can hold a charge.
-
I'll be there tomorrow in the afternoon. I've been told that I either stand out majorly or I blend in and can't be found. Apparently there is no middle ground. I've got an agenda though so not sure how much visiting time I'll have. Business trip more than pleasure

One of the citizens at the blacksmith forge told me there were over 21,000 visitors Saturday. Don't know if he was correct, but that's what he said.
-
It certainly didn't feel like that many at all. Of course people were still streaming in for the concert.
-
It looks like the wife and I and the younger son will be in the city tomorrow, 10/15. Anybody else going to be there?

I know the crowds can be crazy on Saturdays in December but we plan to be there from open until closing next Saturday December 17th. If anyone would like to attempt a meet up then PM me. Merry Christmas
