They've got to have something up their sleeve though; otherwise why send out the 3 ride concept survey?

Last year during July 4th I rode FITH 27 time in a row I started to notice details I havnt scene before.

Wow- 27 times!  Is the song still running through your head?

Another good reason to visit Brown's Candy Factory more often.

Thanks for the info, Baldknobber.  Like a lot of people I worry when they make something inaccessible that they're getting ready to get rid of it.

When it wasn't busy, I'd let folks stay on the boat and ride around as much as they wanted...that was back in 1979 at Jim Owens' Float Trip Ride. We had some groupies, so to speak, at the diving bell, too...but I won't go into those stories here!

We're they called the "Diving Belles"?

A few years ago when they did let you stay on the coasters and ride again I got to ride Fire in the Hole by myself for 4 times in a row.  Kind of spooky knowing I was the only one in there. It was Thursday morning during the Fall Festival and there weren't many people at the City yet.  My son was, I think, 2 at the time and not tall enough to ride so my wife took him to look in the shops and I was free to ride for a while.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / A 2-part ride question

« on: June 10, 2011, 06:05:03 PM »

I've been looking at older threads and noticed a couple of posts where guests were allowed to ride multiple times without having to get off during less attended days.  Someone posted riding Lost River 10 times and Shave posted that he got to ride Wildfire 17 times in a row without having to get off the ride.  This got me to thinking a)whether anyone has ever attempted to set a record for continous riding at SDC?  We've all seen the news stories where someone rides a coaster continuosly for weeks in a row. And b) if you were to attempt to set a record which ride at SDC would you choose?  I'd have to go with Fire in the Hole.  It doesn't beat you up as much as the other coasters; there are longer more restful parts of the ride to recover; it's dark and relaxing; and it's inside out of the weather and climate controlled.  Any thoughts on this?

Or, as a secpnd guess, one of the "bullet riddled" pieces of glass from Fire in the Hole?

Since I have no idea I'm going to guess the old prop for the broken "ST Louie" mirror from the Carrie Nation saloon show in some storage warehouse.

Yes, we still have a boot mug.  Take the plastic ones to the City though.

So, has anyone taken advantage of this?  If so, how is the turnout?

They also used to sell "long john" insulated shirts as late as 1989 at the General Store.  I don't remember if they had the SDC logo on them or not.  Another one of those items I always thought of buying but didn't and now it's too late.  I'd like to see those offered again as well.  I think they were red.
