SDC Memories/ Park History / Re: The Flooded Mine Song

Thanks to everyone for the help. Oddly enough, I did some deeper snooping around and found this video on YouTube which has the Flooded Mine Music in high quality...fantastic!

You folks on this forum have got me so strung out on Silver Dollar City, I'm going to have to try and get back this summer for the first time in 20 years! I will confess though, the last time I was there it left me a bit hollow...especially with the addition of the goofy targets and pistols in the Flooded Mine. Still, it is a worthwhile ride.


As for the gun range, I can't exactly say what year it was, but I distinctly remember getting to shoot a .44 caliber 1858 Remington revolver (reproduction) as opposed to a rifle. I couldn't have been over 13 or 14 (was a big boy for my age) and dad was with me so maybe I just got lucky.

SDC Memories/ Park History / The Flooded Mine Song

« on: June 17, 2011, 02:21:04 PM »

Hello all...

I just discovered this forum and absolutely love it. I started going to SDC with my parents back in the early '70s, but haven't been since 1991 or so (moved out of state etc.). My all time favorite rides were Fire in the Hole, The Flooded Mine, and Rube Dugan's Diving Bell.

I noticed in another post that someone had gotten access to the music played on Fire in the Hole from the park and had it available for download. My question is, does anyone have the theme music from the Flooded Mine? That song still haunts me and I used to love waiting in the queue just to hear that music. If anyone has it I would be eternally grateful.

BTW on a different note...does anyone remember a gunsmith in the park? I seem to recall that I was able to pay a few dollars and actually shoot a blackpowder pistol, or am I completely nuts? Imagine trying to get away with that in a theme park today!
