hey this may have been posted earlier but i couldnt find anything.....does anyone know if parking lot c is now forever a handicap lot or is that just a temp thing

I was able to park in Clot last week.  You just have to get there early.

i went this past wednesday and there was a guy directing cars and telling everyone it was handicap only. i dont know for sure whats going on with that then.

If I am not mistaken, I believe C is used as a handicapped parking lot when projected attendance numbers indicate that more handicapped parking will be needed beyond the handicapped parking lot near the entrance.  I'm guessing that at this time of year, many older guests may visit during the week.

I noticed there's some huge clearing on the ridge straight off of C lot, is this more parking, or is it something else?

[History Buff]

I'm guessing that's going to be parking.

I know they new RD is open but does anyone know if the lots finished yet?

[shavethewhales]

My memory is fuzzy now, but I thought I heard them saying that they wanted the lots ready in time for An Old Time Christmas. If they're not done already, I expect they're finishing up right now.

Here's a link with some info about the road completion

OK... I was just at SDC this past weekend and I seriously hope that this mess isn't considered "complete". I'm sure there is some sort of rhyme or reason as to what is being done with parking at SDC, but for the life of me, I can't see it. Nothing is labeled properly. I saw close to 2 wrecks just leaving parking lot C. They have small cones kind of keeping you in the lanes but even with a sportscar that isn't large, the lanes were just barely wide enough for my car and nearly impossible to turn into. I almost hit a trolley because the person directing traffic was waving but it wasn't clear what he was trying to do. The trolley came from what looks to be a road going the opposite way. it's just a huge mess. I've watched this progress the entire year and I'm no more clear now as to what the real plan with this is than I was in April. All I see is mass confusion and really no clear direction to say get from parking lot C OUT! The main road leads to parking lot F and again isn't labeled well. I saw one car leave C and end up back in F! And then leaving F there is absolutely no clarity to get back on the road to leave... I'm very disappointed as Silver Dollar City doesn't normally approach projects like this (in my 30 years of going there... at least the ones I remember after 6 years old). I really hope it isn't considered "complete" as that article link shows

^Hopefully they'll do some fine tuning.

I'm going to be down there the Friday after Thanksgiving, possibly the busiest day of the year - that will be the real test of the new system. Hopefully by then the cones will be gone and they'll have figured out how to coordinate the cars and trolleys.

I'm going next Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.  It usually seems to be one of the less busiest days.
