jray21 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Thanks for all the comments! It's time for another update! Â Part One! Today we visited the incredible, Undercover Boss featured, Silver Dollar City! This sister park to Dollywood was amazing! They had absolutely incredible food, awesome rides, and even more incredible food! This was one of best US parks I have been to. The employees were extremely friendly, and the TPR events (ERT and tours) were absolutely amazing! There really is no better way to visit a park than with TPR! Silver Dollar City also has the best collection of double entendre signs I have ever seen, and Russel's answer to the question during lunch was the single greatest answer I have ever heard in my life! Anyway, on to the pictures! (Silver Dollar City was so amazing there will be two updates!) Time for my first ever visit to Silver Dollar City! Hmmmm, 1880, 88 mph, coincidence? Head to the rides first? Hell no, FOOD! Unfortunately, they weren't open yet Mmmm, getting it all ready! Just a small second breakfast! Delicious Cinnamon Roll, pecan pastry, lemon pastry, brownie and two cookies! So we have food, and now a Fatty!!!!! Holy crap, I HAVE A MOOB ;( My plot to get Dan in a diabetic coma and let the gAyCErs have their way with him is going according to plan. While waiting for "Fire in the Hole," the ride, not Dan's bathroom visit, we stumbled upon the Firemens Cemetery! John has adopted Barry M. Deeper as his official Pornstar Alias, complete with the tagline, "We will be the last to let you down!" Fire in the Hole was still getting set up so we decided to head over to Powder Keg! I was really looking forward to this ride and it absolutely delivered. I do not understand why more parks don't have this! It was incredible! The explosive launch building! This was the Ace train. They were too heavy and blew up the ride. Due to all the UFO abductions in the midwest, Fire In The Hole has to make sure that they specify that the flashing lights are strobe lights. Too many people would crap their pants and start crying before this sign was made. Too dark for pictures in the ride, so I give you the outside of the ride! They did have this cool dog though! Don't worry Bryan, he is well taken care of and just uses the cage to sleep Yeah, I'm sure the white trash americans have all used the tongs. I think I'll pass. Freshly shaved and peeled skin for you to take home! Nothing says American like pork fat that you take home and fry in FAT!!!! Hurry up and finish cooking, it looks delicious! Even veggies look amazing at this park! (Your welcome for the veggie porn Bryan) I understand the "Low Carb" means no potatoes, but do you really need to add a tortilla? Either way, it looks delicious! It really is there, just ask Becky Thatcher! Barry M. Deeper takes a stroll through beautiful Silver Dollar City! Please don't drink the water, but...... ...make sure you go down the tunnel and get soaked in our not safe for drinking Disney California Adventure colored water ride! This chef serves up a mean skillet! Oh Mylanta, it's going to be one of those days! Next up was Wildfire! This ended up being a lot better than I expected! Great ride! Now compare this flying through the trees ride to Scream at SFMM and tell me that theming really doesn't matter. Watch out for the trees! One side... ...and then the other! White shirts, check. Black shorts, che.....crap. Russ! Awesome picture of Chuck! TPR upside down! I'm sure he gets all the chicks with that shirt! Crap, now what am going to do with my Bunsen Burner? I'm definitely not going to waste a weeks wages of $1 for a locker! They took off the 'RS' at the end of the sign when they heard that TPR was visiting I swear, the bee yelled "Down with King Alvey and Long Live ACE" before it stung Kevin and tried to kill him. I guess this is part of the now defunct head chopper log ride. Just remember to not drink the water! I don't think that kid likes it! Barry M. Deeper shows the proper hand technique. Squeeze gently, don't pull! Catawampus' cousin? Study this picture, there is a pop quiz coming up next! Ok, GO! You have three minutes to label all the parts! It's a really fun ride, but it had long loading times and a very short cycle time. Awesome, they even gave him a lazy eye! TPR takeover of The Giant Swing! Weeeeeeee! Amy tries the Barry M. Deeper technique. That has gotten many people in trouble Up next was Thunderation, another awesome surprise, but it was a little rough. Amy and Dan may look like they are facing forward, but they are actually facing backwards! Bryan is still disturbed at having to find all the parts on the previous 'fatty' picture quiz. Dan waves goodby before the cars crashed together. More parks need to have this! Nice sign, but I have no clue what it was for. Time for some credit whoring on the Grand Exposition Coaster! Look at the intense layout! I grab another quick bite to eat before we head down the cave! Yes, they have an actual Cave you can explore in the middle of the park!!!! Stay tuned!

RandyV Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Wow -- SDC has certainly changed in the last 30 years since I've been there. Looks like a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Freak Andrew Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I've always liked the look of Wild Fire, although I have never gotten to ride it. Siver Dollar City looks like a really cool park. Â Kinda looks like they might have good food too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) It's time for part two of the Silver Dollar City update! The cave is huge! There are a ton of places to get lost in! And exactly 9 months later over 50 children were born on the same day! This is the portion of the cave we get to visit. About to head down into the cave! Pretty small entrance. With this group, what could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately, the bat didn't attack anyone and cause a stampede. Wow, this hole is almost as big as some TPR members'! Starting our walk down into the colon of the cave Amy in front of one of the polyps The point of insertion Reminds me of 127 hours, but unfortunately, no one cut their arm off The ceiling here supposedly looks like a shoe I would love to see assault with a tiny ball of clay! Pretty big drop! Tour of the large intestines Amy takes a break in the cloud room, where the ceiling is supposed to look like low lying clouds. Oooh, much prettier than World of Color! Looking up the urethra Too much water for Dan Even more pretty lights A nice Fatty Family Picture Sounds like something at the City Museum We're setting Boody Traps! TPR Pool Party anyone? We found Chester Copperpot! Cool looking cave features We almost fell down here, but we were saved by the Pinchers of Power! On our way back into civilization and 150 degree heat! Sweating like a pig with my fat towel, I had to get a drink! And some Apple Cider and CINNAMON BREAD!!! Beverly Hillbillies season 576 is now on sale in the gift shop! Hello....what are you? Ok, I'll take one of each! Even nasty veggies taste delicious here! Mmmmmmm Dan's theme park find of the year, Diabetes friendly Kettle Corn! Next we took the train ride and got robbed by these Baldknobbers. Parts of the Mid-West are still learning about this thing called Elektricity! Then it was time for a water shooting jail ride Dan realizes he made a mistake when they said to take out your gun and start shooting. Time for a delicious buffet lunch! These fried fat morsels are an ACE staple. Looks like a Walmart convention for fat fried fat! (This picture is dedicated to William) Amy loves looking in holes! What the hell is that thing!?!? Is that thing real! Quick Amy, get in the picture so she doesn't see me and eat me! We are just a little hot. Time for the not safe to drink raft ride! It was so hot that even Amy decided to join us! Not too wet, just a few sprinkles of diseased water. They had a bunch of interesting jerky flavors! So of course I decided to try them all! Dan's eHarmony profile picture. Still no replies. Time for some delicious Ice Cream! A simple Banana Split for me! Definitely not Tyler and Robby approved toppings though! Nighttime rides on Powder Keg! Dan's tough guy or throw up impression Barry M. Deeper's John Vasquez impression Amy's, I can't eat another thing look. Ok, maybe some strawberries and cream. Only people in the mid-west would be stupid enough to put their last name with their graffiti! Up next is the St. Louis Arch and the City Museum!

jynx242 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 You get EXTRA cool points for including the Goonies references. Â The cave was awesome - before and after my group e-stopped it. When the lights went out and stayed out - it was kinda scary. Â David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 ^^i think it was about $100-$150, but it was well worth it! Â ^Yes, Dan was with us in the caves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyzoo Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 That cave was fun, and extra nice because it was naturally cool in there as outside was like 100 degrees! But the pictures can't show how really big the cave was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollin_n_coastin Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I still think it's amazing that we all managed to squeeze into that train back up out of the caves. Things were sure tight in there after all that eatin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 ^ I thought for sure that we would be too heavy for it and break it. That train ride was the worst part because you were all nice and comfortable in the cool cave and then slowly got pulled into the raging furnace of hell!

Although the threat of being left in the cave forever if we didn't get close and personal in the train was a bit scary lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
