I don't think the new website works on Firefox or Chrome; I can only get it to work on Internet Explorer.
You have a great past ahead of you.

It will take some getting used to but will be alright, I'm sure.

At the top of the website is a heading "park calendars".  Hit the drop down and select the park you want.  A calendar should pop up on the left side. Select the date you want and it should give you the hours as well as the entertainment schedule for the day.

It worked fine on Firefox for me, so idk.

It works on Chrome for me, but a bit slowly.

I like the look of the new website better than the look of the old website. I always thought the old website (and brochures) looked too modern for an 1880's theme park. This one is still pretty modern looking, but not as bad. I would still like to see more 1880's theming on the website and brochures.

I spoke with an employee with a long history at the park who told me each season there is less SDC, more generic amusement park. SDC is a unit of a large corporation now. Again, SDC is still by far a superior product. I hope enough "flavor" will remain in the years to come. I was disappointed when I heard that remark, but I have to agree with it.

Personally, I like the old website better...to me it was more authenic and fit the theme of an 1880's western town...the new website looks too modern...makes me think of the "not in mrs. mary's time" thread...i haven't played around with the site too much but I can say I just don't like the look as I don't feel it fits the SDC theme...just my opinion though (I do try to be open to change)

No question about it, the new website is sleeker, and has a more high-tech interface. The old website was a bit dated, but the new one doesn't capture the spirit of Silver Dollar City. Probably because the website focuses on Silver Dollar City Attractions, and not just Silver Dollar City itself. 

The only thing that subconsciously irks me is the background map art behind the logos which looks like it belongs on a Pirates of the Caribbean movie poster.

That back ground on the Web site is, I think, an old map of Marvel Cave.
