General Silver Dollar City Talk / Best discounted tix?
« on: October 21, 2019, 10:10:50 AM »
We're heading down on Saturday. My family has season passes, but we need a ticket for my mother-in-law. What's the cheapest/best deal on a ticket for one day? Is there a discounted rate if season ticket holders are buying it?

General Silver Dollar City Talk / 2014 season passes
« on: October 14, 2013, 09:06:54 PM »
Help me out folks,
This would be for my brother. Not me.
He's going to go down to SDC for one day early November. He may be interested in season passes for next year. Maybe not.
Question is this: Will they have some sort of a "upgrade your ticket to a 2014 season pass for $25 deal"? I seem to remember those.
Also, does it have to be a full-price ticket that you got into the park with? I assume it can't be a discounted ticket.
Thanks

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Anybody try the BBQ skillet?
« on: May 14, 2013, 05:43:54 PM »
How was it?
I just read about it in the paper. Too bad I'm already home. Is it only available during the BBQ fest? I think it's at the rib shack.
Pulled pork, onions and potatoes? Can't go wrong there.
Though, I will confess to being a BBQ snob. Hey, I live in KC. I know my BBQ!

Branson Talk / Car plows through the lobby at the Econo Lodge
« on: July 25, 2012, 11:33:20 PM »
Scary night.
We just got into Branson this evening. We checked in at the Econo Lodge. We had a swim. After that we decided to check out the breakfast room. There's a little outdoor area. We were standing out there...
I looked down the street, and probably 200 yards or so away, I see a car driving on the sidewalk- fast!
I yelled at my family to get out of the way. I grabbed my son Chase and pushed him out of the way. My wife got our son Owen. The car missed by 5 feet or less. We were lucky to survive.
None of us were hurt, including the driver of the car who worked at the moon river I think.
I would write more, but I'm on the iPad.
We're all a bit traumatized, but we'll endeavor to have a good vacation.
I'll try to post a pic

Branson Talk / The old wax museum
« on: July 17, 2012, 10:01:24 AM »
Anyone have any pics of it?
I loved going there. It was by where the old tower was...isn't that across the street from where the Titanic is today?
Wasn't it like $1 to get in? Remember the Hulk inside of it?
It may be gone, but it will always live on in my mind, my friends

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Train questions
« on: May 16, 2012, 01:35:58 PM »
Noticed a couple of things...got a few questions.
I've noticed they've got the part where the hobo was taking a shower ... you can't see it because of a barrier. I hope that comes back.
The two times I've ridden it this year, they didn't do the bit where they say their "Ma" is on the train. That's always funny, especially when the woman says that, yes, they are indeed her children.
I guess the standard response when a woman does/did that was to break the 4th wall???
Cheers,
Eric

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Who is the actress at the Saloon show?
« on: May 15, 2012, 02:37:03 PM »
The dark-haired woman, the one who is the big-city producer of the show? What's the actress' name? Or more specifically, where have I seen her before? She looks really familiar...

Branson Talk / Good hotel/motel w/ an indoor pool?
« on: April 04, 2012, 10:50:09 AM »
Can someone recommend a good hotel or motel with an indoor pool? A decent hotel/motel at a decent price would be good
We usually just stay at the Homestay in summer. Sometimes the Angel Inn or the Barrington when the weather isn't good enough for outdoor swimming.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / My son's Flooded Mine outfit
« on: November 14, 2011, 10:57:39 AM »
Everyone got a real kick out of this.
Kind of funny, though -- some ignorant person actually asked him "what does that prisoner outfit have to do with Silver Dollar City?"
Everyone else though, from employees to patrons, really liked it.
He kept saying "I work here. This is my house."
Then on Sunday when he didn't wear it, he told the guys at the Mine that "I don't work on Sundays."

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Anyone agree to the spiel over in the new season pass room?
« on: November 14, 2011, 10:23:22 AM »
So I go in to get my X-mas ornament...kind of over by the Flooded Mine. I've been to SDC on 5 trips now -- on 10 days total. Apparently I can't get the ornament because we only went to 4 festivals. It has to be 5 separate festivals, so I'm SOL. Not happy about that.
Anyway, in that room, there's a lady who wants us to go listen to a spiel for 90 minutes about some hotels or something. If we did, we'd get a free Vegas vacation (there were other available destinations).
It sounds promising. But it also sounded a little fishy to me. I'd of had to have paid $30 (which would have been refunded) to make sure I'd attend the spiel.
Anyone do it? Was it legit?

« on: September 07, 2011, 10:19:27 AM »
I work for The Kansas City Star. I'm doing a piece where I might mention SDC, so I decided to check our old photo files. Lots of old B & W photos. Here's a couple. Interesting, huh?

SDC Memories/ Park History / Hey, check out this nugget my friend found (1984 brochure)
« on: March 15, 2011, 08:42:51 PM »
My friend the packrat found this and gave it to me
Cool, huh?
I like on the inside they advertise as "BRAND NEW!"
"I dare you to experience the adventures of The Greedy Brothers Water Excursion!" WITHOUT a picture of the ride! Just a pic of some dirthead w/ a smirk on his face.
