Maybe they'll put Tinker the talking Christmas Tree out front!

That would be awesome.  We loved Tinker.  I talked to SDC's General Manager about why Tinker left.  They just thought it was time for something new, so they sent Tinker to the "tree farm" and brought in Frosty.  I suppose next year we'll have something to do with Rudolph.

[Swoosh]

No, Rudolph is for the parade.

So I had to look it up, and whoever can might want to split this topic because I have a feeling this will create some buzz... I present to you Tinker the Talking Christmas Tree!



This is Tinker at Dollywood the Christmas after He/She left Silver Dollar City (does anyone know the gender? Well, if there was any confusion there is none now...



This is Tinker at Wild Adventures in 2012, and according to their website HE will be returning this year! So there you have it, Tinker is alive and well and has become quite the grown up with that awesome mustache!

[Junior]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am now VERY thankful that during my employment I only had to dress like a crazy hillbilly! Those guys dressed like tall elves, well, all I can say is MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'm sure the talking Christmas tree show is a cute one for the kids.

I always laughed at tinkers stories/jokes..

I couldn't remember where he ended up, I knew it came up in conversation last year.

Thanks Hollywood for the pics and info.

 its nice to have someone to share the blame with..

It was beautiful in March covered in snow. Of course the walkways was not covered just the trees. Made it one of the most memorable trips to SDC ever. Even though nothing was open. The view in snow was breathtaking. I will always remember that visit.

I can only imagine the entire place blanketed with snow and the Christmas lights shining/reflecting off the snow.  I almost wish I would have waited till this weekend to go.

[sanddunerider]

I would love to make a fly down trip to see the city this weekend...  but with a chance of snow up here I cant leave the area. ((if it snow I have to clear parking lots for clients))

I am hoping someone from here gets pics,,,  maybe tinman or someone else........

I bet it looks great!!
