Final Countdown for 2010 season

Thanks Andy!

I know it's a sentiment that we all share together. Silver Dollar City is almost like another member of each one of our families. I am looking forward to the "final countdown" when they swing their doors wide open again!

countdown??

70 days to go.... thanks for asking.

As long as we don't all start singing the Final Countdown song by Europe I suppose everything will work out.

I know...how 'bout a New Year's Eve type of countdown! LOL

It can be a webcast and maybe Junior can be host! There will be two or three regulars from SDCFans.com set up in different locations to talk to tourists and SDC "citizens, reports on traffic, the buzz around the parking lot. Then....there'll be the big countdown and the gates are opened!

3....2....1....Happy 2011 SDC Opening!

"Do-do-do-do." "Do-do-do-do-do." "Do-do-do-do." "Do-do-do-do-do-do!"

My dad & i can do the videoin' !!

now you have got something going.. webcast, and recorded. maybe we can get RFD to run the the broadcast!!

Andymeets1880s · January 08, 2011, 11:47:47 PM

Excellent idea, sanddune! RFD-TV would be perfect for it! I never thought of that. Ok, so let's have fun with this. We have Junior host it. Who would co-host or be the coverage reporters??

I have been opening day, But I was not present for the gates that morning...I don't know if there are special ceremonies because of the opening day or not...It'd be something to find out.

marolinesdad · January 09, 2011, 12:35:28 AM

I have been one of the first people in the gate on opening day for the last 5 seasons.. Same as any day... I do not think I will be able to go Opening day this year. I will have to go the next weekend because I do not really want to burn 2 vacation days...

Junior · January 09, 2011, 08:02:43 AM

Well, after my SDC days I was a radio broadcaster for about 20 years in southeast Missouri and east Arkansas! Maybe I could handle hosting the show?? Get it approved with RFD-TV, I'M READY! And then, just like the ZZ Top song, "I'm nationwide!!!!

Ozark Outlaw · January 09, 2011, 12:55:50 PM

Sounds like a plan to me Junior!

I can't say for sure since usually I am pumped with so much adrenaline, but usually they do a ten second count down everyday at park opening. I am sure the first day will be the same if not more so.

Parson B Ready · January 09, 2011, 09:52:21 PM

I realize this is just a dream...but since we ARE dreaming.... Terry the Tour Guide has to be there as a roaming reporter.

Junior · January 10, 2011, 08:17:26 AM

Oh yeah! Terry has GOT to be there. It would be nice to work with him again.
