@marshalljimduncan Yes, it's definitely still there. In fact, they just finished celebrating their 50th Anniversary in 2010.

k thanks

[ECWRulz12]

wat r the names of these songs

[rjoyhelvie]

@ECWRulz12 The first is the official Mystery Mine theme from Dollywood. The second is "Fire in the Hole" by the Elders (a Kansas City-based Irish band). The last is... I'm not sure. According to the filename it's a piece by Ry Cooder, but often songs were miscredited in the Napster days.

Going there this summer. can't wait!

[TheBanjo557]

dollywood pwns this to the ground

[rjoyhelvie]

@TheBanjo557 To each his/her own. The fact still remains that SDC is Dollywood's parent park, and without the Herschends, there would be no Dollywood.

Google it....

[Blackick79]

We'll be go'n in May. Google SDC from the satellites, you can hardly see anything cuz'a the trees. Its neat!

[rjoyhelvie]

Yeah, I like to take snapshots of SDC on Google whenever they update the images. The best satellite images I've got were from when they were taken during winter, so you can actually see stuff in the park, LOL.

[Blackick79]

great vid!

[SilverDollarCityGirl]

this is da best...place...EVER!!!!

[rjoyhelvie]

I've been wanting to make another vid, but my hard drive is full, and I also don't have access to the 'Net at home. I will definitely be working on at least storyboarding a vid so I can make one once I've got things in order.

I'm happy to hear that you're eager for another SDC vid!

[ratbombgt]

sdc kicks butt

[rjoyhelvie]

Hopefully my reply will go through this time... I got my copy from a friend who ripped the song from his CD for me. It's from their album "Pass It On Down", which can be found on their website, eldersmusic . com

[Blackick79]

my favorite place besides go'n to dirt track races!!

[nightmare374]

what is that song after the mystery mine que music?

[rjoyhelvie]

The song is "Fire in the Hole" by the Elders. The moment I heard the song, I knew I had to use it in conjunction with SDC and especially the ride Fire in the Hole.

[RebeccaSwenson]

Great video brings back alot of memories before everything changed... I used ta go every summer and every christmas with my family. Now that Branson has changed so much it is not the same. I plan on bringing my family there later on but i will always have the great memories of when i was there as a kid. there are so many memories i dont know where to even begin with at Silver Dollar City!

[postalmage]

i love sdc but fire in the hole is the scariest ride their and ive rode them all

[chillgrl95]

oh yea my grandma lives near there i loove that place!

[cheren28]

No wait.. it was thunderation was just brand new the last time I was there.

[ihatemichealjackson]

which was wen??

[rjoyhelvie]

I believe Thunderation was new in 1993; my first visit to SDC was in 1994, and Thunderation was still the newest ride there.

[cheren28]

I used to work there too and it has changed so much. My last visit was back in 1995 I do believe they just started building Wildfire.

[taraann80]

I use to go to Silver Dollar City all the time when I was younger...it's weird how much it has changed since I have been there probaly 11 years...when I was there there wasn't all those rollar coasters...but it was still a great place to go...plan on going this august with my boyfriend and friends of ours...can't wait...but I still won't ride Fire in the hole..lol

[cheren28]

because of the snakes?

[buckbeak1965]

I used to work there, It is a great place to work does not pay the best, great benfts, I own a small trucking compny, one day when I retire I will go back.
