Trans Siberian Orchestra (and other similar bands) songs synchronized to the lights on the giant Christmas tree. I can't wait for OTC:)

Whoever took this video took it sideways for some reason???...but the effect and great music are still there

I love the sound of rushing water that you can hear at many places in the park.

the sounds of the train
the sounds at the furniture shop
I also have to say that our condo which is right next to SDC you can here the train whistle in the back ground which is just cool

The quiet snick-snick-snick of a well-oiled old machine running.

train whistle blowing out in the woods...sound of the hammer hitting the anvil at the blacksmith shop...the steam engine next to the apple butter cabin...the oven opening up with a new batch of goodies at the mill...the birds in the trees...sound of happy children laughing

Perhaps they should come out with a "Sounds of the Silver Dollar" CD. I would be the first one in line for a copy!

They came out with a sounds of SDC album about 1980. I've got a copy. I wish they would just digitally remaster it and release it on CD, along with a second CD with the theme music to flooded mine, fire in the hole, and other attractions, and the old bluegrass music they used to run on the park PA system when I worked there! Plus, the Burl Ives' TV special, a re-release on DVD of the SDC videotape released initially about 1990, and re-releases of the Christmas tapes they've had over the years!

Again, what a great idea that they could have done this year for the 50th Anniversary! I love that Silver Dollar City is such a humble park, but come on, the four, or five sound bits on the 50th Anniversary website is simply not enough to satisfy the appetites of us die hard fans.

As a guy who worked for 20 years in the media (radio, TV, newspapers) I was always amazed at how disposable the stories were that I worked on. They aired for a 24 hour period, were tossed in a file cabinet for a couple of years as required by FCC, and then...tossed out. As a news reporter, I recorded and reported on the current events of the towns I worked in. I felt, in some respects, I was a historian, recording things as they happened. I have a personal archive that I wish I had the money to print books about the things I covered. Meeting & interviewing Bill Clinton, Mike Huckabee, John Danforth, Kit Bond, John Ashcroft, Dale Bumpers, David Pryor, Mary Steenburgen, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, and many, many others. SDC has a huge archive of sound recordings, videos, films, photographs, and artifacts...just sitting in file cabinets and in storage rooms, and they do nothing with! I suppose marketing does not want to make the huge investment in time and money that it could take to produce a coffee table book with photos and descriptions of the things in the archive. It really is too, too bad! From what I remember seeing in storage and maintenance rooms from when I worked there, for the SDC fan, it is a treasure trove of items! A stroll through what they used to call the "atmosphere barn" for a hardcore fan would be
a dream for the hardcore SDC fan!

That's my melting point right there!

As a kid, and even as an adult, nothing gets my adrenaline going more than to hear that captivating sound off in the unseen distance.

How-do, Your right!!

1st time in when you here the music, and you smell all the SDC smells walking in the 1st time of the year!! Good point. You know another season has started
