Just out of Curiosity, what is your favorite ride? This is my first post, so thanks if you reply.

Flooded Mine, then Fire in the Hole.  Love the oldies!  Miss the Diving Bell and the Jim Owen Float Trip!   :'(

Gotta go with some of the old school stuff:  Flooded Mine and Fire in the Hole. Also on the list, Jim Owens Float Trip Ride, American Plunge, Stagecoach, Train, Diving Bell.

History Buff

Fire-in-the-Hole, for its meaningful historical references, followed by the Diving Bell, for its creativity
Always SEEKING Memories Worth Repeating

Fire in the Hole!! Its dark, its scary, its wet, baldknobbers runnin' around all over the place. I love it!! :D
Live life like it's the last day!

The Frisco Silver dollar Line, the Flooded mine, the Stage Caoch, the Float Trip.

Alas! but the latter two are just memories.  Since none of these is an option on the poll, I didn't vote.

Fire in the Hole. Gets my vote. Should have been on the list.

Fire In The Hole, American Plunge, Flooded Mine

Something interesting to note here...

On this forum, there is often a discussion about the old SDC vs. the "new" SDC. A lot of us who long for the old SDC seem to imply that the park is going down hill as it changes to appeal to a new crowd.

I am going to guess that TwinsVikingsWild is a fairly young person who is obviously enthusiastic about Silver Dollar City. I am going to guess that his level of enthusiasm is the same as mine, and I have been going to the City since 1980. I think it is interesting that his poll doesn't include Fire in the Hole and the Flooded Mine, which, to us "old-timers" are sacred rides at SDC.

To me, this just proves that Silver Dollar City's attempts to strike a balance between us "old-timers" and new, younger fans is working.

Memories worth repeating.  Five Generations of my family have visited SDC, and we will keep going back.

Small wonder our lives have so little of God in them, when we come in touch with so little that God has made.

Depends on if you go there for the rides or for some other reason

We go for the entertainment, NOT the rides. If we wanted only rides, we wouldn't drive 900 miles to go to SDC.
