okinawaboy11 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Wow, Silver Dollar City is...REALLY nice! I never have really taken the time to look through pictures of this park. The food looks amazing. Oh and was that the XL Version of the Disk-O or the regular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Wow. Now that looks simply incredible, I'm struggling for words here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I love love LOVE caves. The only one I've ever been in was Ruby Falls. I really would like to check this one out. Have I mentioned this photo TR is making me really antsy to take a trip to Branson?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Caves rock. I did not know there was one at SDC. I now have another reason to go there. Good job with the cave pictures, as caves are really difficult to photograph. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Dood Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Wow. I'd really like to go to a cave some day. That one looks huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorchomp83 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 This Photo TR is seriously tempting me to plan a 3-4 day trip that area of the country. It looks incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Wow great TR. SDC looks like a cool park to visit. Nice pictures too. Especially the one with the cave. I gotta visit that place sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derwood Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Awesome trip Cameron. I remember going up in the arch as a kid and my dad was extremely claustrophobic. It was a long ride up. I've not been to SDC, but need to make a detour there soon. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbilly Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 man your trip around Missouri was what I wanted to do this summer, but I get Ohio instead haha. SDC looks more incredible then I imagined it to be! I went to Dollywood last year and knew this park was compared to it and it sure looks like it, I love theming so this park would be really neat to visit. Thanks so much for sharing this I can't wait to see CBC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Cameron, you have so made me want to go the Missouri. Is this payback for me making you want to go to Hersheypark? Damn you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceace12 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I really need to get to indy beach for the double shot. I love hw's and love all tower rides now (drop and double shot). Funny thing is, that 13 months ago, I had never rode a coaster or even high thrills flat rides or water slides. Now I have done everything at Holiday World except the spider ride, which I will do Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Great TR Cameron! If I ever go to visit my grandma in Tennessee, these two parks will definitely be on my list. Looks like you had fun! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 ^^ Too bad that these parks are in Missouri. Though you can go to Dollywood if you go visit TN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Glad to see you enjoyed yourself in Branson, Cameron. SDC is one of my favorite parks out there, everything from their extensive theming, attention to detail, cute little things you have to look for to notice, large amount of trees, hills, streams, waterfalls, fire, excellent food at a reasonable price, homemade craft places scattered throughout the park, staff hospitality, great operations, and their variety of nicely themed rides and coasters PLUS the cave tour makes it just one of those places I really want to get back to. I think I actually like this place better than Dollywood. Hopefully within the next 2 years I'll be able to return there for another 3 days or so. Three days at one park is something I'd rarely do, but I never once got bored at SDC. And Celebration City wasn't too bad either, it was a lot nicer than some of the big chain parks. Hopefully you got to enjoy the homemade ice cream, apple butter on a homemade apple turnover, and sasparilla. And did you get a chance to check out the tilt house and shooting darkride? Looking forward to your photos from SFSTL, I chose to skip that park on my last visit just so I could have more time at SDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinab Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Excellent report - SDC is now on my must visit list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpenguy Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 You definitely just added another place to my must-visit list... It's so great to see all around fantastic parks that us folks on the coasts normally never hear about just cause they don't have a movie-studio name in front.

Topdrag Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hey Cameron! It's Alan from the Valleyfair meet-up in May. I will be going to Branson in August this year! Glad to see you had a great time. How long did it take you to get there from your home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Cameron, we totally agree with you on Powder Keg! In fact, we've tried to convince parks to buy them all over the place. They really are great rides for the entire family. Please, please, PLEASE!!! Tell Wild West World this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 ^^ It's an 8.5 hour drive from my place to Branson .. however I stopped in St. Louis on my way down for an hour (that's when I did the tour of the Arch). On the way home I stopped over-night to visit Six Flags St. Louis (photos coming soon..) Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Awesome report Cameron!! I can't believe it slipped by me until now. I loved the cup of water "trick" on the swinging ship, and the cave pics were great! I think the Show Me State just moved it's way up our to-do list. Thanks for that.

Carnage Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Awesome TR Cameron. I miss SDC, that parks just rocks. As good as Ozark Wildcat is, I was actually pretty let down with CC. Though it could have been due to SDC being soooo good, that something less then perfect just stands out that much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbilly Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 man Cameron this TR is rockin dude thanks so much for sharing it with us! How does Ozark Wildcat add up to other woodies you've ridden, and other GCI's too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyG Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Great TR, Cameron! I was just there last October and I loved SDC. It is a beautiful park in a great setting. Unfortunately CC was already closed for the year at that time. Yesterday I went to SFStL so I'm curious to hear what you thought of it. Did you ride the new spinning coaster? Thanks for all the great pictures. MollyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
