Thanks. It is in a box. about 1/2 way down below all the other coveted items. All behind doors, and gates like the introduction scene to the TV show Get Smart.  Eventually they will all be in the collection publication....hopefully sooner than later I will get it all finished...

Anyone want to ride the Flooded ? Well I will need to see your Inspection Permit....What you don't have one? Good thing you're with me, In case they check us, I have it covered ...LETS GO!!!!
Yes, this is also from the same time (1971') that tickets were needed to gain entrance to various rides in the park. I also have a Jim Owen's Float Trip ticket just like this one to be posted at a later date.

My goodness rube! Your house must literally be a Silver Dollar City vault!


I am sure glad you are around to help. Otherwise none of us would be able to ride the Flooded Mine, Jim Owen's Float Trip, or the Frisco Train. 


Thanks for sharing more of your rare collection.

Vault, pile, stack, etc. whatever you may want to call it....My wife calls it crap, but she understands my connection to it all. If there is a fire she knows she is on her own cause I am grabbing my stuff! Not Really calm down, I am proud of my "stuff" and at times it takes alot of room, but it is worth it.

Firing up the machine, clearing out the cobwebs...off we go!!! Wait but what time is the feud? the train? the rainmaker, Stick with me I have a schedule. Hopefully things are the same, It has only been 30 or so years since this one was printed...Shoot it took us to SDC Tennessee instead blasted machine...-the tip off is that we have FITH not BLAZING FURY...AND our feud is on the square NOT by the saloon!

Blazing Fury came about in 1978...is that when this schedule for SDC, TN is from?

[rubedugans]

It was never dated, however looking at the other items that were saved with this, I can say with almost 100% certainty that it is from 1979

I ain't got no pants no more!

Open up that postcard folder, and show us a few shots of the park from the early 70s, Rube!

[rubedugans]

Oops already entered my destination, I'll have to back it up and revisit the postcard folder....while I am here though I'll bring this one out, it might bring more details to this thread :

December 16, 1974
My newest favorite stop on the Wayback Express....really I love this one so much!

Okay not impressed, try the reverse...maybe that'll do it!

"Dear Aunties
ON holiday in America traveling from East to West be car, and hope to sell the car in Los Angeles so we can afford a Christmas dinner (hamburger) on the beach, in the sunshine. Merry Christmas Love Richard"

Priceless-I bought it sight unseen from the United Kingdom...JACKPOT!!!!
Stay tuned for our next destination I hope to make it as good as this journey.

Pretty cool, Rube! Have never seen this postcard before. Old jailhouse with "Marshall Hooker" sign, and looks like a blocked off pathway this side of the mill...I think at one time in the early to mid 60's there was a building there that burned down. I cannot remember what was in it...might have been the early print shop.

[rubedugans]

Neither had I which is why I bought it, and got a two-fer=two neat items in one

[rubedugans]

I guess I wasted $2 by not spending this...Sometime I'll use the machine to go back and spend this in 1992
