Random Talk / Happy Mother's Day

« on: May 13, 2012, 01:01:16 PM »

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there!  Hopefully you are spending it at SDC and if not today, then soon.  My wife will be there  with me and the rest of the family next weekend.

The Outlaw is not the same as Outlaw when it comes to trademarking. 

But it sure doesnt fool anyone into thinking SDC is being very unique with their names does it........

I still like the name and concept better than "The Bull".  But I still would have rode it even if it was the Bull.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Leaving SDC

I think the worst leaving happens to me during the holiday-Christmas time. Not that other times are not, but I think not arriving until later in the day, and the cp;d makes us stay not quite as long as we normally would. That coupled with the idea that we probably won't be back for several months makes it tough to go!

I couldn't agree more, Rube.

I almost lost my mind when they opened Gaslight Square back in '89!

I have some of the general website info, but, how far is this place from SDC ?

Thanks.

About 250 miles south-southwest.  It's in Hot Springs Arkansas which is about 50 miles southwest of Little Rock.  I'm only about 35 miles from there but haven't been since 1981.  It just doesn't compare to SDC! (Then, what does?)

I wear whatever I feel like. Usually cowboy boots, which makes me really glad I bought those pad/gel things you put in your shoes to keep you from wanting to cut off your feet by the end of the day.
And I bring a pair of flipflops just in case I decide to do ride water rides.

If I'm not wearing cowboy boots, I'm usually barefoot, just sayin' lol

I also wear cowboy boots (big suprise, huh) but I wear Ariats that are built with running shoe technology.  A little pricey (I think I found Ariat ropers for about $150 but your feet will appreciate them after walking on that asphalt all day!)

If they had Sioux City on tap...I'd fill up several times a trip-even though it would take away from the nostalgia of the bottle itself.

If they did that I'd go broke!

Maybe they'll have somewhere near the new coaster for the balloons.

Let's just bring back our old balloons. That would make me a happy camper

I see that happening, eventually.

I have a bolt from wildfire! Shortly after construction started in 2000 I wrote the park and to my surprise they sent me a packet that included one of the spare bolts from the ride. It even has a tag on it stating part number and the manufacturer B&M  

A spare bolt... That's comforting! Lol

That's funny!
