Ovver the years one of the fun elements of the City was the Street Shows that were around the city. From the Rainmaker to the Hatfields and McCoys. These made the atmosphere of the City what it was. Small stage shows were fun. The City could now do small things in each area of the City to bring more excitement to the experience. With FL you could have the Firechief form bucket bragades. OR could have gunfights. GE could have a medicine type show for the newest gaget of the time. Huck and Tom could be conning someone at the float trip. Also the old Courthouse Theater could bring back some of the old shows much like the Saloon has done. You want to spread out the people through out the park, then give them some enterainment other than the newest coaster and build on the theme of the City, not only on the newest idea from SF ord Disney.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / SDC vs Dolly
August 15, 2010, 01:07:55 PM
Ok lets just have a little poll here (though on this formum it may not be fair). Which park due you perfer, SDC or Dollywood. I have to exclude my self because I have never visited Dollywood, but my Kids have gone and the felt that SDC was better( Sorry BetaMike but I have the same feeling for the Magic Kingdom Florida). And also do you feel that the company spends more money on Dolly then their true home?

Since I haven't gotten a season pass yet this year, I want to know if you can get into the park early with a regular one day pass or if you bought a season pass at the gate. Coming on May 1 and would like to get in for breakfast before the festivities start.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / when was your first?
January 02, 2010, 09:15:36 AM
Since this is the 50th year for SDC, when was your first visit and what do you remeber of the City.  My first visit was approximetly 1966, I was 11. The City ran from town square to the FM. The Train and FM were the only major rides that were there along with other smaller rides that were powered by animals. You had to pay for each ride individually then. They would have a contest between Confederate and Union Troops firing cannons at a target down into the valley from where the School House is.   Branson only really came up 76  to where the Grand Country Inn is and that was where the WAl-Mart store was with an entertainment area of carnival rides / miniture golf  in the parking lot.  The only shows were the Baldknobbers, Presleys, Foggy River Boys, and the Brashlers. SDC and SOTH were the only big attractions available. The fish hatchery at the Dam still used gravel bed ponds for the trout. I remember having a blast camping at Table Rock State Park in the back of our station wagon.

Being on the outside and coming to the park for over 40 years I have alway said I would like to work at the park when I retire. Can any of you fine citizens who have or are now employed say anything about your experience or make any recommendations? What areas are most older employees place in  or does prior expericence count? ( Nurse for 28 years)
