SDC Memories/ Park History / Re: First SDC Memory

« on: October 15, 2010, 09:39:52 AM »

Rocky's tree house, the log rolling (which was somewhat traumatic for me as I temporarily got lost when I was three or four) and the mule swing are among my first memories of Silver Dollar City. Like so many of us who have been going since we were really little, My memories get mixed up. All I can say is that bluegrass music and the smell of hot asphalt make me think of SDC every time.

I agree that the price is a little steep. especially for a one day pass, but it is probably the cheapest full day thing you can do in Branson. Everything is over the top expensive there on the strip. Next time I go I want to stay in Branson West and avoid Branson all together. SOTH and SDC are my only reasons for going anyway. I might make an exception if I decide to go to a show, but with all that traffic I prefer to avoid all of that

As others have said it was really crowded last Saturday. We had a great time. I have a comment though. The sound of the horses on the toll bridge makes no since at all without the sign to explain it. Why did they take that sign down?

^^^^ Shave the Whales,

I had no idea you were here in Oklahoma. I work at an unnamed computer company at the corner of I-44 and I-40. The whole building shook. I thought they dropped something on the roof or somebody drove into the side of the building. I was a little "shaken" sorry, I couldn't resist,

I was driving back from Branson yesterday and my spedometer went nuts in Springfield. I stopped the car and it stayed stuck on 55. Looks like I will be doing good to get 150K in that car.

If I get one of those quack whistles, can I give to my six year old daughter and make her take it to the ex's house?
