Welcome Ozarks Gal! Glad you finally took the plunge and joined, looking forward to reading future post from you. You are a year younger than I am, so we have experienced the park the same way.
A lot happend in those 7 years you missed out on SDC fun, but glad to hear you and your husband returned and enjoyed yourselves.

I'm glad to know someone who grew up with the same park as I remember! In some ways the park is just the same, and in some ways it is so different. There's the big things, like the Grand Exposition, Wilson's Farm, and Half Dollar Holler. And there are the little things, like no more bookstore on Hill Street and the re-location of the Apple Butter Shop. I still love the park, but there are bittersweet moments as well. (The lonely-looking Treehouse and Waterboggan tower come to mind.) I could go on, but I'll save those for another time.

I really miss the Treehouse. Wouldn't it be nice if they would renovate it?

I would love to see that done but as brought up in another thread, it would have to be ADA complient and SDC might not want to invest in that large of an ADA compliant scale. It would be neat to see how they would do it though....
