thats quite a video... i would not be able to climb that hill to get there!!!... If it is closed it looks like they locked the door and walked away, Everything is still in place, All the manicans, furniture, trach barrels, i saw an ice cream dispencer, the "vehicles" all looked intact. WOW! what a find.. i am surprised vandals have not found it yet..

Some old lady has put lots of money into it but most of the rides are still not working

The saloon at the park is also the Silver Dollar Saloon. We went to Maggie Valley back in the 90s. Thought about checking out the park but it wasn't open during the days we were there (it wasn't summertime).

That was really neat.

How-do, didn't you post some videos you found of a young girl's experience at SDC?

Gilligan · May 22, 2013, 04:34:19 PM

I just found the post about that video. It was a Goth couple and their first trip to SDC. The video is set to private now.

Hmm, i wonder why..

According to RCDB, the steel coaster has a loop and is a lapbar only made by Hopkins. So it's a rare bird and I hope it flys again.

A video exists for the coaster Cliff Hanger.

The lady wants to go to a Biblical theme and after seeing this coaster it could be called the Holy ...............

But what you see in the picture is what you get. A drop out of he station into the loop and a figure 8 to the very slow lift hill to the station... Not sure if it would be worth referbishing...
