What makes Silver Dollar City so great is that it is not a flat “parking lot” style Amusement Park. There are hills, and valleys, and terrain variations all over the park. On the other hand, that is also what makes Silver Dollar City development such as challenge, especially on the westside of the park.
There is plenty of room south of Wildfire, which stretches behind the homestead area, and all the way to the parking lots. However, this area is very steep, which would add complexity to any design, and construction.
To add insult to injury, the north, south, and east sides of the park are restricted by the roadways, maintence areas, and parking lots.
If only that silly cave wouldn’t have established itself in the middle of the Ozark hills so many years ago!
