I saved the cave tour for my second visit to the park. It was fun and I don't this I missed a thing waiting 3 years to see it.

 

Don't skip Grandfather's Mansion. one of those attractions you don't see at major US parks

Yes, definitely! Grandfather's Mansion is a must for every one of my visits! Its such cheesy fun!

I'm not sure exactly what it is but the description makes it sound like a fun house crossed with Confusion Hill. I'm already a fan.

[Shavethewhales]

^That's actually pretty much a perfect description. I agree that it's a must-see, especially when stuff like this is getting cut out due to ADA issues and the like.

[Vonni]

Has anyone spotted any survey markings, or signs of future construction yet?

[PhantomPoster32]

Final Year of WorldFest going on now. Don't miss it!

Sticks on Steel

[Vonni]

^ I'm still really surprised they are eliminating World Fest

One of my favorite parts of SDC, I feel like I laughed my whole way through!

Supposedly they are elongating the other festivals next year - but Brad Thomas is being very secretive on what is replacing it. Told the citizens it'll be August before he announces

[ytterbiumanalyst]

My guess is a Festival of Diving. Featuring diving bells, diving ticket prices, and a dive coaster.

They're holding off on adding that festival until 2020 for obvious reasons

I'd be very happy if they made BBQ & Bluegrass two months long. Of course they still need to get some more outside BBQ vendors to take part.

Absolutely! There is now such thing as too much barbecue. If you think you've had too much barbecue, that's because you haven't had enough barbecue.

Did you guys see this?

^ Someone spilt Tang powder on the plants and they marked it for the janitors.

[PhantomPoster32]

Nah, we are a little more classy in Missouri than Tennessee. That is obviously Cheetos residue.

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

Cheetos trail ride!

New for 2017!

[KBrylczyk]

Those sure aren't attraction markings. Either they're expanding the walkway or they're doing some new underground work (electrical, plumbing, etc).

[PhantomPoster32]

Orange is for communications (fiber optics) and that's not something you normally see surveyed unless you are doing major construction as moving fiber optic cable is expensive

Astronauts used Tang, not Cheetos. I feel that has more class.

Ok Elsa, let it go.

I've recently moved to Kansas City and am itching to take my first trip to Silver Dollar City. I'm thinking about doing a day trip this weekend (either Sat or Sun) and noticed that its World Fest is on. Will crowds be insane for this event? How about ride lines? Is there a flash pass option that they sell that's worth the money? Finally - would you think there'd be a major difference in crowds on Sunday compared with Saturday?

 

Thanks in advance, can't wait for Outlaw Run.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Yes, crowds will be heavy on the weekend, but ride lines will be reasonable. A lot of World Fest guests are there for the shows. Plus, SDC's ops are amazing. I have seen on many occasions Wildfire's line out the door yet I was on in 15 minutes. You don't stand in line at SDC; you momentarily pause between steps.

 

They do sell the Trailblazer Pass on Saturday but not Sunday. This area is fairly religious, so Sunday mornings the park is empty, and it fills up starting around 1. You shouldn't need the Trailblazer pass this weekend if you go to Powder Keg first. All other coaster lines will be under a half hour.

[GrapesLie]

This based on what's being said and current markings is the likely location for the 2017 coaster. Blue highlighting where the station would likely be placed. Well see!
