General Silver Dollar City Talk / 50th merchandise
« on: April 25, 2011, 06:24:50 PM »
For some reason I was expecting the HH to have tables full of last year's 50th anniversary stuff on clearance. Yet nary an item one bore the 50th logo. What did they do with all the leftovers? When we were there for OTC there was still bunches left, I can't believe they sold it all in December. I was really wanting to pick up another 50th t shirt that I could stash away and still wear the one I have without worry. Now it's looks like it will be special occasions only.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Easter
« on: April 11, 2011, 07:01:15 PM »
I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed in not seeing more emphasis on this Holiday, which is second only to Christmas for most Christians. In fact, there's only a brief mention of an egg hunt and a bunny on their website, most of it is focused on World Fest. We went on Easter weekend last year, and I didn't see that much was made of it. I don't expect a big to do like Christmas, but I would think a little more effort could be made to recognize this important day. Am I off base here? Or is something done that I just missed? Has it always been this way? World Fest seems to dominate all the attention this time of year.

SDC Memories/ Park History / 50th anniversary website

Any guesses on how much longer they'll keep it up? Indefinitely I hope. It's great to go back and look through the pics and videos every few months even though I've seen them all several times now.

SDC Memories/ Park History / 1975 Brochure
« on: January 27, 2011, 06:13:50 PM »
Just picked this up on ebay. My first piece of vintage SDC literature and thought I would share. My apologies if someone already has scanned and shared this.













Also a map on the back:









I would love to know more about some of the places on the map that are no longer there.

SDC Memories/ Park History / Viewmaster reels
« on: January 13, 2011, 03:12:03 PM »
Welcome, all. I've been lurking for quite some time now and finally took the plunge. This is my favorite part of the forums, I really enjoy the park history and photos. Here's my question: I recently bought a 3 reel set of viewmaster slides off e-bay and love them. They're from around 1971 or so, and have some great pics past attractions at the park (Butterfield Stage, Float trip, etc.) It also came with a booklet and map of the park almost identical to the 1970 map Junior has on his Flickr page. I was wondering if anyone know how to convert these to a digital pic? I tried scanning the reels but they get way too blurry when the individual pics are blown up. I would love to share these they are some great pics, but need some technical help doing so. I was also wondering if there would be any copyright issues by uploading them to a forum such as this? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
