I'm pretty sure those two pallets are concrete forms instead of pavers

They are. The other side says forms x-feet. There are a few around the site and they say how long the forms are on the box.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / *REPOST* Potential Lore of SDC

Last post by Russell - April 13, 2026, 09:12:49 PM

Hello! A friend and I were discussing how there are no video essays explaining the lore of Silver Dollar City. We spent about an hour searching online—going through Reddit threads, Facebook groups, and pretty much everything else we could find—but we didn't come across anything useful. We believe there must be a significant storyline connecting everything in the park, including the rides and the character actors and actresses.

While browsing, I stumbled upon this forum where some accounts date back to 2007, so I'm sure someone here knows something about it. Feel free to reply to me here or email me. We're simply trying to understand the lore (both fictional and non-fictional) of the city and theme park for fun to pass the time in class, and then share it with others. We're two exhausted seniors ready to graduate, so anything to help kill time is welcome.

What we are looking for:
- Historic background of the park
- Character storylines and heated rivaries
- How rides connect with the park's backstory and theme
- Past and current staff members who are interested in participating in online interviews via email
- Articles, photos, videos, past interviews, etc.
- Anything deemed reasonable for the research by you

Thanks!

I am glad they appear to be putting in effort with theming and landscaping around the new ride. One of my only disappointments with TT was how it still looked like a construction zone well after opening.

...Especially when they leave undisguised modern lift equipment on site for ongoing maintenance.

^ I was really happy to see the Frontier Follies in the running.  It's our favorite show at the City.  Last year's show was really clever the way they brought the Mean Murphy show back.  Does anyone know if they're doing the same show this year?

I was there yesterday and I can confirm that there are a TON of footers. Especially on wildfires lift you can see them. The general layout really makes me think hyper, or at least an airtime-focused ride. Mack and Vekoma are my top 2 manufacturers for this project.

Is it typical for footers to have conduit running to them? Would this indicate a launch in this area?
