New concrete pad for the little swings in Fireman’s Landing.
New foundations in Lake Silver. Could these be for the return of REJOICE? They seem to be too spaced out for anything structural like a wider walkway so I’m am guessing decorative.
Here are two pics from yesterday of the new foundations. I was wondering what they were for, too
Train crew had no ETA yesterday on when they might start operations
There’s barely enough room for a queue let alone a gift shop and why would they take photos on a coaster that will be mainly in the dark. Seriously?
The locomotives operating at Silver Dollar City are extremely rare industrial tank engines that originally worked for construction firms and quarries in Germany during the 1940s and 50s. They were all purchased and imported by Jim Valesh from Iowa who sold 4 locomotives to Silver Dollar City in the mid-late 60s. The locomotives purchased from Minnesota in 2016 also have ties to Valesh.
On another note, was it ever implied what would happen after the 99 year lease ends?
Why do you think they bought so much land?
