Vintage 1984 or 1985? Fine years, indeed!

neat picture

Ha! I love those two pictures. Silver Dollar City used to be great with all of their jokes, and gags throughout the park. I wonder who thought all of them up? Silver Dollar City still has some of the classics, but so many of the gags are long gone.

Of my collection...only 1 photo is from my childood oddly enough- me and my sister with Shad Heller. MY pops still has all of our hundreds of old photos that someday I will go through, along with countless hours of video from SDC. Someday I will make it a project and put it on my to do list...

[sanddunerider]

wow!  that will be display/movie worth waiting for..

[rubedugans]

It would be something to do right now since I have limited use of my right hand (ruptured ulnar ligament) for the next 4-6 weeks! Maybe I'll get going on that soon

Okay, so I found a few more SDC pics.

There are a few of the outside of the Flooded Mine. Also one of a curvy mirror inside the old Treehouse (I think).

I'll try to get to them this week sometime.

Should this thread be moved to the "memories" board?

If anyone is curious as to where this attraction was, it was on the water, at the seating area next to the Dockside Grill overlooking Lake Silver.

[Ozark Outlaw]

Is any part of this building, or attraction still in existence today? Silver Dollar City sure invested a lot of energy into the Greedy Brothers just for them to swiftly disappear without a trace.

[rubedugans]

nope. You walk to the ropes next to lake silver and there is nothing left of it except some murky water. The playground was in existance for much longer than the ride. It was removed in the late 80's, 1987 or 1988 I think.

I think Rube is right. The playground was kept in place for several summers. Greedy Brothers disappeared after just the 1984 season. The playground and ore carts next to the lake was a prime example of how on a limited budget a kids play area could be erected and put into use. I still think they could put a small playground in the green space around the old treehouse. There probably is a small place for a small playground by the schoolhouse, too.

how much fun would it be to have a may pole and old timey playground equipment! I know its prob just see saws and what not but hey still fun!
