Well as much as I like playing at SDC with all you folks.  I also ride in the sanddunes in Waynoka Oklahoma. Have been doing that for over 30 years.  But always torn on the weekend about which way to point the car.....SDC... or The Dunes....... the city..... the dunes?  Always hard to decide.  I watch this cite religously but seldom sign in.

I agree! Sure, the new ones are more fuel efficient, and modern, but nothing beats those old green workhorses.  Take those white whippersnapper trams off the line, and let's get our green ancestors back!

Amen. I loved the smell of butane in the morning! It was the first thing I looked forward to when I got to the park. Literally cuz its the first thing you ride. lol. anyway. I miss the green trams.

I think SOTH still uses their green trams for tours. You can always get your fix there! (Plus, it's a great tour.)

Some of the trams from Shepherd of the Hills were used at Fantastic Caverns, too. It's America's only ride-through cave, ya know!

Going through and reading old threads tonight, and I found this one.

When I was a little boy, I use to call Silver Dollar City, "Dollar City." Don't know why, but I just did. The name stuck for many years, and to this day I still randomly call it that! 

My dad use to sing a song in the car as we would drive up to Branson; it was one he made up on his own.

Goin' to Dollar City.........Dollar City here we come..........Gonna ride Thunderation..........and have a whole tun a fun!

lol, I know y'all cant hear the tune, but it is quite funny!

My son also calls it dollar city and has for the last 3 years. We have been takin him since he was 2 and the word silver was hard for him to pronounce so ergo "Dollar City" is used in my home also. He can say it now but alas it has stuck.

I am from Missouri, and a girl (well, actually, on the downside of 40). I remember the time during the USA Pagent that Miss Missouri came out with overalls and bare feet. At the time I was appalled, but I've learned to embrace my country roots - hence the user name.
