Exactly. Because if memory serves me correctly, many of the shops, and food venders close down during Moonlight Madness. Limiting a free guest until after 6:00 PM limits extra income from those guest.

Upon even further investigation: Found in bold print under KidsFest section: FINAL YEAR of Americas BIGGEST Kids Festival So what do they have planned for 2014 to make up for that "big loss"?

That is very interesting! Kids Fest has been a summer staple at Silver Dollar City for a couple of generations now. Although I avoid Kids Fest due to the heat, and crowds, it is still a heavy contender

I got mine today. Weird to have it printed on glossy paper... And yeah, the Times sure seems to have basically become just one giant ad. Seems the Pathfinder has become a bit more what the Times used to be, with actual articles and stuff.

Note the windows you can use BAF increase if you upgrade to the 2 park.  Specifically Christmas.
I think the idea is to make it a sweeter deal, they are needing to push some folks to WW. I say increase the free shade and
reduce the hills and number of steps. I simply cant spend a day there.  Its too much of a workout. It isnt laziness its a health issue. If the increased the greenery and the natural canopy it would be easier on your skin.

Got mine today! Have not had time to look it over well.

I never received the summer edition and I still haven't received the Christmas version.  I'm starting to think the marketing department must not like me.....

WOW!!!  I received mine sometime this weekend,,,, of course I was at SDC and didnt see it until i picked up the mail today,,,  will openit tonite,...

Well you figure the two park deal is not that bad all you need is to go to white water one time, use the food discount and you are even.

mhguy77

I am just not a White water kind of guy, I long for the old days of CC,  that was an option for me.
You know I would have gone for a buy a seasons pass and 1 ticket on the Branson Bell or a trip to the Butterfly Palace but White water is just not something I am able to do.  I hate that they have made a large divide with the BAF with the White Water combo.
I am ready for a gold pass including parking and free drink refills or something along those lines, that would be a worthy " buy up".

MissinTheGreenTrams

I am with you MHGuy. I hate WW. I will not buy the dual ticket. I would be thrilled with a gold ticket. My dream gold ticket would include but not be limited to:

-Free drink refills
-7$ off food (10$ or more)
-20% off the Wilderness Campground
-One ticket to SBBB

I am not picky on parking as they offer free parking. And will they ever make a golden ticket? No but I can dream. And I still hate WW.
The smell of asphalt and butane says home!

Got mine 2 days ago! Sadly no trip for us this Christmas. Hopefully next year. I always start wishing for a trip when the weather starts changing! Wish I was there watching the lights, eating a walking taco and drinking some hot chocolate.

Ozark Outlaw

Well, don't get too down. As promoted in The Times, there are all sorts of exciting new things for 2013! Not to mention the new rollercoaster! ;D

MandyTG

I won't get too down since I just booked our hotel for Thanksgiving 2013! LOL! Although I will NOT be riding Outlaw Run, but my Hubby will love it. I'll just get in more rides on Fire in the Hole while I wait!
