Silver Dollar City made the front page of the Business & Finance section above the fold:

Nothing too new, but neat nonetheless...

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Ride brakes

« on: July 31, 2023, 09:29:15 PM »

Was just at the city this past weekend. Crowds weren't too bad, but I did see something new (or that I don't remember). When riding the Elehpant March, Fire Spotter, and the racing regatta, the rides seemed to freewheel quite a bit before they stopped. I remember from prior trips a more gradual deceleration that seemed assisted by a brake. This time it seemed like the rides slowed due to their own friction.

Maybe I'm misremembering...

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Prime Rib at the Reunion Hall?

« on: November 16, 2022, 11:50:35 AM »

Hello!

I've read these forums for years, but I haven't posted much...but I finally had a question.

My family went to SDC between Christmas and New Years last year, and we found the Reunion Hall to be closed. One of our favorite traditions is eating the prime rib dinner while everyone else is at the parade.

The website seems to show that the Reunion Hall is open...but the app doesn't list it. Does anyone on the ground have any firsthand knowledge?

Thanks
