Last post by Lampie - September 01, 2026, 12:03:51 PMFavorite coaster/attraction: My favorite is actually riding the tram in the rain. IDK why, but the spray of a little rain while riding the tram is my favorite. It's weird, I know. I haven't done any coasters in about 10 years. The last couple of times I tried them, I had some balance and nausea issues when I got off for a couple of hours, and it just wasn't worth that. The last one I actually rode was Thunderation; I also had trouble a couple of months before that at Universal Orlando. I love dark rides; the flood mine is pretty good, but it always seems to need a little more TLC than the staff have time to give it(usually it is in pretty good shape in the spring). I'm there for the shows, the non-coaster rides, the craftsman, and watching my kids have fun.
fall/harvest fest is my favorite time at the city, followed by christmas. The city transforms at night with the lights of pumpkins and then Christmas.

Last post by Dfisher - September 01, 2026, 07:57:22 AMWelcome!!!
I am pretty new to the theme park life myself. I had only been to Six Flags St.Louis a couple of times as a kid until like 3 years ago when my girlfriend took me to Old Time Christmas with her family. They go every year but don't really ride any coasters. Mainly shows/food/lights. I was 400 pounds at the time and couldn't ride anything except for Fire in the Hole (old one) and Flood Mine. We went again the next year and I was too big to fit on the new Fire in the Hole!!!! That kind of lit a spark in me and I decided to lose weight.
I've lost 150 pounds in the last 18 months and we have been to 7 different theme parks this year. We are from Kansas city and have season passes to SDC and Six Flags. I've been to SDC 8 times this year so far with two more to go. Our favorites are Mystic River (we change into flip flops before getting on). My personal favorite is Outlaw Run, specifically in the front row. It's an insane ride.
I have a 10 year old and a 9 year old and they are scaredy cats. They LOVE Thunderation although they were scared of it at first. The older one has rode Powderkeg and loved it but the younger one hasn't been brave enough yet.
Favorite season would have to be Christmas although I am really excited for Fall. Great weather and night rides has me pumped.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / An introduction and your favor...
Last post by MaximeLefebvre - September 01, 2026, 06:35:35 AMHello everyone,
I'm thrilled to join the SDCFans community! As a huge fan of theme parks—and Silver Dollar City in particular—I've decided to finally create my first post and introduce myself.
I'd love to learn more about the forum members' habits:
What is your must-do coaster or attraction at the park (Time Traveler, Outlaw Run, PowderExpress...)?
Do you have a favorite time of year or season to visit (such as the An Old Time Christmas festival)?
I look forward to reading your replies and discussing the park's news and history with you all!

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Outlaw Run Lap Bar
Last post by Dfisher - September 01, 2026, 06:06:10 AMThe only other RMCs that I have ridden are New Texas Giant and Fire in the Hole so maybe it's normal but does anyone know why Outlaw Run's lap bar is so heavy? Seems like I am helping someone lift it up every single ride.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Southern Gospel Picnic
Last post by biscuitcreek - August 31, 2026, 11:57:40 AMI tried posting this last week but was unable to do so. Went to the first day of SGP on Thursday. Got there about 4:45. The line was already in place for Echo Hollow and backed up to the concession stands by Time Traveler. The one remaining theater show was 5 pm at the Boatworks. It featured a group from Tulsa, and it was packed. We walked back to Echo Hollow at 5:30, and the line had cleared. The upper seats were about 3/4 full for the show but there were a lot of empty seats in the bottom. The people who were sitting down there were mainly in the middle. Just one concession stand was open so the lines were long. There were large industrial fans set up at various places. Karen Peck and New River stopped at 6:40 for intermission, and we left. Everything in the park had closed at 6 pm, so everyone was funneled out through 1 open gate in the admissions area.

Announcements / Re: SDCFans Will Restart Later...
Last post by shavethewhales - August 31, 2026, 07:37:38 AMWe had some weirdness not long after I posted that last message where we got up to 7,000 "guests" at once. Still didn't go over the bandwidth limit this month for the first time in awhile.
I worked on a few things last night, but ran into some issues. It's been too long since I was really into web programming and building websites. I'm having to relearn a lot of stuff.

Dollywood Discussion / Re: Dolly Parton Passes Away
Last post by mg - August 28, 2026, 10:32:24 PMQuote from: NothingisSacred on August 28, 2026, 12:06:54 AMA truly great American Icon is lost. Heard it was a very surreal experience for workers and park goers attending when they heard the news as it broke. Hopefully her wishes for the future of her theme park is respected. I am due to paying Dollywood a visit as I haven't been since before covid happened so I may do that later this year to pay my respects.
Dollywood wasn't open the day it happened. I did see posts saying that Wednesday was very surreal. People said that the parking was quite full, but the park didn't seem to feel full at all. We were there last week.
