^ Outlaw Run's announcement was August 9th, 2012- my birthday!  So early to mid August seems to be the time.

^ Thanks Swoosh- that's great news!  That gives me hope that the ride will be at least similar.

^ LOL!  Sad but true.

Yeah I was relieved to see more people upset than the select ignorant few that said "Good! Tear that racist POS down." (yes there was one comment I saw on their FB page announcement that didn't have a clue about the Baldknobbers)

Hopefully the person that commented will have their pants stolen for 50 years and hang outside a window in their red longjohns LOL

Wow I just found the Outlaw Run "soundtrack" on youtube!  The loop of western theme songs they play in the queue line- enjoy!  Yeehaw!

General Silver Dollar City Talk / SDC Logo
« on: June 12, 2023, 05:45:02 PM »
I just noticed on the SDC webpage that the logo in the upper left hand corner (the iconic axe and log) has SILVER DOLLAR CITY OZARK MTNS instead of Branson Missouri or just Missouri.  Has this already been discussed and I missed it?  Does anyone know why they changed it to OZARK MTNS?  Just curious.

^ I'll second that.  As I've said many times in these forums I actually like the guns and targets.  Our family likes to compete with each other.  Updating the animatronics would be great.  Having more targets that do something beside just flash a light would be nice.  They did have my favorite target in there working again after a long time: the steer head on the left in the last section with targets- the part with the gravestones and skeleton.  We rode the flooded mine this past weekend and the steer target didn't make noise but it does spin like crazy when you shoot it. Yeehaw  :)

^ It is good to be cautious but not paranoid.  I've never felt my kids weren't safe at SDC. 

54
^ You're probably right but I hope not.  They're really promoting people to come and ride FITH this year and they're advertising the Baldknobber aspect so I'm not so sure they won't keep the theme but hoping they do that and add the updated animatronics we're hoping for.  And they definitely need to keep it a family coaster that young kids can ride.

First went in June 1969 myself, right before they filmed "The Beverly Hillbillies" episodes.  Rode the stagecoach, Jim Owens Float Trip, went through Herman the Hermit's Treehouse.  Been almost every year since.  I've been riding FITH since it opened in 1972.  My brother and I went up on stage to sing the song "Bingo" while Sherry Herschend played the dulcimer.  So I'm a fan of the old stuff too  :D

With all the talk on this board (and others) and the hints that SDC themselves are dropping I feel very confident that the new ride will be some form of FITH.  As has been said many times the building has gotten to the state where it would be more cost efficient to rebuild the ride in a new building.  The fact that the new building is over at Fireman's Landing is another tell tale sign that it will be FITH 2.0.  As for the other attractions you mentioned I don't think they are going anywhere for a while since Shave and others have pointed out they are low maintenance. To get rid of FITH and not replace it with a similar version, in my opinion, would be a gross marketing and financial faux pas given the love for the ride that so many of us have stated.

Yes the big news reveal was the park being voted the #1 theme park in America (it was already #1 to most of us anyway  :)).  And $49 tickets for the month of May if you buy them before May 10th: https://www.facebook.com/sdcattractions/videos/190150990561276

^ Great point!

59
^ I agree.  I like the tower drop with the splashdown but I'm not a fan of the constant spinning.

60
^ As was speculated on the Facebook site it probably means they were voted the #1 theme park.
