I never saw Tinker...he sounds sorta neat...Who knows, maybe the PTB will "tinker" with the idea of bringing him back :)

I did in fact catch a few minutes of Tinker while I was passing by a few times over the years, and it was humorous. I don't remember any of the specific jokes for the kids, but I do remember from a few years back Tinker going very off script when a kid started going on a tangent about PB&J, Tinker started talking about the peanut butter recall! Very quick witted that tree!

I liked Tinker because....
1.  He was original to Silver Dollar City.  You couldn't see Tinker anywhere else.
2.  He actually interacted with the kids on-stage.  As opposed to Frosty interacting with one child, while all the other children watched from on-stage.
3.  He was great at improvising.  One time when he asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas, I told my kid to shout out "chain-saw".  Tinker's reaction was hilarious.
4. My kids like Tinker.

I was not a fan of tinker but my children LOVED TINKER..   They did not like the frosty show during OTC this past year so I say bring back Tinker as well.
