TV program to feature SDC

Junior, too! · July 14, 2014, 05:52:12 PM

You likely have seen a post or two here on the site in the last week about a production company that is developing a six episode series of shows about amusement/theme parks across the country. SDC will be featured in a segment of one of the episodes. I mentioned on another thread that I put my name in the hat to be considered as the person to escort the show host around the park, and I suspect a few others that are members here have done the same thing. Anyway, I had a Skype video interview today, and I think it went well. The producers said they will take about two weeks to review their interviews before making a decision. So, is anyone else here trying out? Just curious. I won't say much more about this until I hear back from the producers. This will be a fun experiece for whoever gets this gig! Best wishes to any sdcfan.com members who are interviewing, God bless.

I'm supposed to have my interview today. Just waiting for him to come online... Kinda nervous, to be honest. :-)

Joy, I hope all went well, and that you enjoyed the experience!

It went well. That's the first time I've ever done anything like that.

Good luck to all my fellow fans who are in the running! It's good to know that whomever gets chosen will be someone from here!

I also threw my hat in the ring as a few of you might know. I don't post much lately with all going on in my life, but I was interested in this opportunity. Good luck to all who had their screen tests! Hopefully the best things about the park will be showcased well by the network.Any clue if this show is a 30 min, or 60 min episode?

If I understand it, this is a six episode series, with each episode focused on a different region of the United States. The Silver Dollar City episode will be the "southern" region, and will feature Silver Dollar City, Dollywood, and another park. It would have to be an hour long to do all of that.

Thanks HB. I knew it was a group of 3 parks, and assumed it would be a 60 min episode leaving around 45 minutes after commercials/ credits, so roughly 15 minutes per park. I know it is one dedicated day of taping, but I know that'll be a full day for them as well. That's alot to cram into one TV spot, but I know all other parks have the same issue as well.

Well, for all we know it could be six ninety-minute or two-hour episodes. We shall see.

I expect producers to make a decision within a few days. We shall all find out more then. Again, best of luck to all contenders!

Are y'all at liberty to give us the name of the show?
