Last post by SDCisHome - June 03, 2025, 02:34:46 PMBathrooms!! The bathrooms around the park need a complete overhaul! Of course I realize that they are public, theme park bathrooms, but they're gross! There are exceptions, the redone bathrooms in Rivertown are nice, but the ones by TNT are the worst in the park.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: 2025 Trip Reports
Last post by SDCisHome - June 03, 2025, 02:30:51 PMVisited the park on Saturday, not a part of Mercy Day. We arrived around 9 a.m. and I was surprised at the lack of traffic trying to enter the parking lot. The park wasn't too busy during the morning hours, even with how nice the weather was. You could tell around 2 p.m. it had gotten a lot busier. I never felt like it was overly crowded, definitely have been when it was way worse. We left around 6 p.m. and had an enjoyable experience. FiTH was down most of the day...I think it came back online for a bit and then went down again. At one time in the afternoon, OR & WF were both down at the same time. I did ride AP and it was kind of disappointing. I say this because it has just seem to have lost some charm. The tunnel extension, although not super long, makes an already long tunnel even longer. After exiting the tunnel, the pool with the animatronic dog saving the guy was completely empty. The mechanical head just sitting there was odd. The best part is obviously the drop...and I got soaked...but the ride is in need of some help, IMO. Always a great day in The City no matter what!

Random Talk / Park Road Trip Ideas
Last post by mg - June 02, 2025, 10:05:31 AMI am looking at doing a quick road trip with my kids (shortest one is about 49") sometime in August. It will be a Thursday - Sunday trip. (We could leave Wednesday afternoon if needed.) Would like to visit 2 different parks.
I'm thinking drive Thursday, park Friday, drive Friday night, park Saturday, and drive home Sunday.
We are in Springfield, MO. We prefer more theme park vs amusement park (SDC, Dollywood, Disneyland, and Animal Kingdom are some of our favorite parks.)
We've done Holiday World, Kentucky Kingdom, and we also do Dollywood every year.
What are your suggestions?

Last post by Duelist - May 29, 2025, 07:44:23 PM^ Thanks for the heads up, Swoosh. We've been there on Mercy Day before and it was a nightmare. Fortunately we were planning on leaving by around 2pm anyway but left a little after noon due to the crazy lines. The wait for Hannah's Ice Cream Parlor was out past the Gazebo. I always thought the City should close that day for the general public and only let in Mercy employees and their families. It would cause a lot less irate visitors.

Last post by Swoosh - May 27, 2025, 07:41:22 PMIf you can avoid May 31st I would highly recommend it. That's Mercy day and the park will be slammed.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Dynamic Pricing
Last post by KBCraig - May 27, 2025, 07:31:34 PMAs someone who hates crowds, I would welcome a big discount on off-peak days.
I know that's now how it works in reality. Off peak pays full price, peak pays extra.
