My biggest complaint is when a small group of complainers change what I have come to love, and expect from Silver Dollar City. The reason I keep returning to Silver Dollar City is because of ma, the use of firearms for stage show and prop purposes, and the corny jokes. If I want a Six Flags style theme park experience, then I will go to Six Flags. Keep Silver Dollar City as Silver Dollar City.
Late to this video, but I was at work today and the question "What's your first memory?" came up. Then we had a discussion about how to define "first memory." I remember riding the train at SDC when I was probably 6 or 7 years old. We came up from Texas with our grandparents and parents. The actors at the time chose my grandmother to be Ma. It was funny, and my usually very straightlaced grandmother was bright pink at the end. It was a good laugh. It seems that the park has changed since I was a kid. Sad to hear.
I love the "Ma" joke when I was at Silver Dollar City. One time I was on the train, "Ma" claimed the boys and all the actors started laughing so much they couldn't continue the set. It was great!
I'm not a big sports fan but even I got the baseball jokes. Might help that I've lived in Cleveland suburbs all my life... I nearly did a spit take when you said "dad jokes" because maybe 15 minutes before I watched this I was talking to my wife about me liking your sense of humor & you using that term! :)
OH my goodness!! The Yankee joke is my absolute FAVORITE out of the whole show!!!! We've been riding the train since before I was born and it's one of my absolute favorite part of SDC!! But I really miss the guns and the ma joke and everything that was so classic. I also love how you talk about how normal guns are in the south XD
Honestly the gun thing was something we had to adjust to a little bit ourselves. Having grown up and lived in California most of my life, then living in Florida for several years, while I knew people who had guns and hunted it wasn't part of "normal" life like it is in Missouri. But I've come to realize that I like that part of the midwest and south much better- far more common sense and better adjusting to guns so they play a proper role in society instead of the almost paranoid fear of them I saw in some places.
Silver Dollar City want a crowd fund for accurate firearms, I am in. Where i come from, hunting means 100 to 200 pounds of meat and we pass it out to aunts and uncles or other family. We all do Hunter Safety Courses by the State and if we smart off Father ir Uncle would remind us quick to respect guns.
Used to work on Journey of the little mermaid at Magic Kingdom and have to deal daily with people telling me that the scene at the bottom where they sing about everything is better down where it’s wetter is too dirty
I was maybe 6 and I can't remember who was robbing the train. I absolutely loved the ma bit and miss it. I SDC is where my family would meet up sometimes for weekends. One weekend my great aunt and uncle came. I wasn't sitting in the same row as them, but my great aunt got picked. I don't know what made me do it but I said, "That isn't your ma!" I can't remember what all I said and I was just saying that is my aunt not your ma. I remember being really embarrassed that night after we got home. Lol
, I worked for Six Flags Over Texas in the mid-late 1970's as a Riverboat Spieler on LaSalle's River Adventure. We were given a script by the park. In 1978, the script talked about the diet of the Karankawa tribe. It mentioned that they ate boiled earthworms and raw fish. Some guests complained to Guest Relations that we were disparaging the native Americans with lies about their diet. Park management threw us under the bus and claimed that the employee had "gone off script". The spieler (in question) was never identified so nobody got fired...but from that point on, we knew that we couldn't count on management.
Thanks for this, I’ve wondered why the ma and pa part has left the train recently, so thanks for explaining it. It’s sad that people who couldn’t understand the joke made it leave.
I'm native American I find the robbery hilarious I've been riding the train since I was a kid and I'm 25 now plus I love trains and always wanted to be an engineer at SDC any way I know that the Yankee's or Indians line has everything thing to do with baseball lol I've never complained about the robbery maybe because gee I can take a joke.
I've seen this show in many of your videos, but I never noticed Ma's grave in the background. However, with that being said, I feel like it is pretty obvious that Ma wasn't on the train.
One "complaint" I have is one year, my family was getting in line/going into the depot, and there was almost literally no other guests there. My dad, sister and I were just at the door, and the person at the front/conductor, saw my mom dip under to catch up with us. He made her get out, and weave the whole way back to the front, because "what lesson was she teaching her kids by jumping the line." We thought he was joking at first because we have never been spoken to poorly there and because like I said, no one was there and she wasn't cutting, plus when you get into the depot...you can go wherever you want anyways... 🙄 In my whole 24 years of going there, I have had that, and maybe 2 other bad experiences, but people are probably just having a bad day is what I try to tell myself
When I was in Disney world, my fiancee's sense of humor wasnt working. In the middle of the animal kingdom safari, i decided to sing Pumbaa's "When i was a young warthog!" from the lion King as we passed some warthogs. The entire car started laughing, except my fiancee. She FLIPPED OUT. "YOU DONT DO THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOUR YOURE GONNA GET US KICKED OUT OF THE PARK! THAT WAS HORRIBLE ANYWAY AND YOU TOTALLY MISSED THAT NOTE!" Etc etc etc. The tour guide cast member didnt laugh because "I hear that at least four times a week" and i looked at my fiancee and was like "did you notice how the entire car laughed except you? I dont know about you, but other people apparently thought that was funny. Sorry your sense of humor is out of the office right now" but it was just a stupid thing for her to go off on me about. And she used her lack of coffee as an excuse. Im a coffee addict myself, ive been through coffee withdrawl but i still have a sense of humor.
Sometimes you just have an off day and that thing that you've heard a hundred times isn't funny at that moment. It's new and original to everyone around, but not to you. It happens. They probably could have smiled, but at the same time I totally understand where they are coming from. But not worth "going off on you".
@@SirWillow to avoid confusion, my fiancee was the one pitching a fit not the tour guide. She was convinced my pumbaa stunt would get us kicked out. Well. It didnt.
My favorite complaint came from when I worked as a mechanic on Time Traveler. Older lady in her late fifties came off the ride, recognized my maintenance uniform, and angrily goes, “This ride spins too much, you need to make it spin slower.” To which I responded, “Ma’am, if we slowed the spin any more, there’d be no spin.”
we had a Family Complain about the Smoke from our steam train because "we wrecked our party"... we just went passed them, we had operated that Line for over 30 years and the line has been there for over 120 years,
Indigenous children were taken from their families sent to a residential school until 1996. Their heads were forceably shaved and they were beaten on a daily basis. Many were sexually assaulted. Indigenous people are still brutally attacked for defending their homelands against illegal construction. Just look at what happened at the Unisto'ot'en raid just one or two weeks ago. But thank you for putting things in perspective. I know understand that out of this situation you're the real victim of society. Some guy on the internet is asked to stop using a slurs.
Havent been around for ages due to having leg amputation surgery in January (Been focusing on recovery really) so this is the first video of yours I've watched in a while and I have to say, It made me chuckle hard and put a huge smile on my face! Thanks! Keep it up!
If you're against guns, don't have one. Simple. End of story. I won't come to your house and make you own one. Don't come to my train robbery and take my fun away.
not a ride, but some parents seem to think dog parks are petting zoos. I told a parent that no your kid can not pet my beagle. she is very nervous around kids and I don't want to stress her out. they got very angry with me, told me that I was being mean and that all dogs should be fair game to be pet or hugged by their kid. I now have a fenced in back yard for my dogs to run around in peace.
Years ago at a McDonalds I heard a man complaining about the chicken nuggets. Of course, there are legitimate complaints such as the nuggets being raw or partially frozen. However, the man's problem with the nuggets was that they weren't all the same shape.
Love it! Had to laugh when you mentioned a .410 shotgun. For those that don't know - a .410 shotgun is basically only good for squirrels or rabbits. I shoot skeet every weekend. Yes I use a 12 gauge. Political correctness drives me nuts. I know you talk about SDC in this video but we've definitely seen the re-tailoring of the Disney properties over the years as well.
Not a complaint but my favorite are from one of my Cats visits in UK where I had Cats make up on (yes I like to do that) and showed it to the people sitting behind me. One of them said: "Do not show that to my sister, she hates that kind of make up!" - Really? You guys are on the wrong show. Johan.
One of the saddest things I ever heard was someone referring to the saloon girls as glorified prostitutes. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are entertainers. And they do a fine job.
SirWillow Lol it the lightbulb went off. I have that book! Would be great to see you out there eventually. Look for the very enthusiastic ride op that’s likely me haha
When I was a kid they used to pull a passenger off the train, my dad got pulled off once when I was little, it was all I could talk about for a year, my Dad got pulled off a train and robbed by Jesse James is what I told people 🤣😂🤣
I enjoy the show. Surprised there weren't complaints about the sound system. The Train has a good on to bad the robbers can not be hook into it. I am not surprised on the ones you said but I would never have those issues. But people complain about me doing magic even though I am a Christian Illusionist.
Seen multiple videos of the robbery and I only now notice Ma's grave! XD I wish people would calm down and realize guns were a part of life in Old West. I live in Idaho and guns are still a part of life! Even the city folk love to go hunting in the woods. Plus, I'm sure all the employees are trained on gun safety.
I wish they would bring back the old show I miss it stop playing to the sensitive people if they don't like it to bad keep quiet and don't ride it anymore easy fix
I so scare of guns 2 bad things happen someone die and someone hurt bad and I saw both I have very good hearing I almost hear a dog whistle I don't like fireworks balloons
Quite frequently. Especially at Silver Dollar City, but every trip I had to Walt Disney World this last year I ran into someone I knew from working every day at the parks.
I always considered myself political correct because I wanted to show respect. However, these complaints are rediculace. The political correct people today are just over the top.
All this talk about how the skit takes place in history and all the stuff is a product of the times and then you try to say that women aren’t property.

I would have. I would play right into it. Throw them off.
"Do you really want to watch this in the bathtub?" - SirWillow, 2k19
I am offended, I am a member of the Grumpy men of America and you are wearing a shirt that makes fun of us. How dare you wear that shirt. ;)
But I'm a professing member of the group just sharing my grumpiness with the rest of the world. :-P
My Grandma got to be 'Ma' once, she loved it so much. Not only did it make her day but she talked about it for years!
I'm not a big sports fan but even I got the baseball jokes. Might help that I've lived in Cleveland suburbs all my life... I nearly did a spit take when you said "dad jokes" because maybe 15 minutes before I watched this I was talking to my wife about me liking your sense of humor & you using that term! :)
I’ve never liked people without a since of humor.
Happy Valentines day to you and everyone

LoL that's hilarious!! I dont doubt it a bit but talk about people having their minds in the gutter and missing the obvious
I was maybe 6 and I can't remember who was robbing the train. I absolutely loved the ma bit and miss it. I SDC is where my family would meet up sometimes for weekends.

I heard someone say that had a horrible customer service experience. Craziest thing I ever heard.
I'd like to complain about the Road Runner and Coyote. Coyotes have feelings too and they do not appreciate anvils being dropped on them.
I've seen this show in many of your videos, but I never noticed Ma's grave in the background. However, with that being said, I feel like it is pretty obvious that Ma wasn't on the train.

Nice video as always.
I have never had a complaint at Sliver Dollar City at all so you don't have to worry about me.
I Love Sliver Dollar City.
My favorite complaint came from when I worked as a mechanic on Time Traveler.

Gotta be P.C. Can’t play Cowboys and Indians any more. Now it indigenous people and cattle management specialists.
And you have to let the indigenous people win.... and the cattle management specialists are the bad guys- excuse me, bad people.
Indigenous children were taken from their families sent to a residential school until 1996. Their heads were forceably shaved and they were beaten on a daily basis. Many were sexually assaulted. Indigenous people are still brutally attacked for defending their homelands against illegal construction. Just look at what happened at the Unisto'ot'en raid just one or two weeks ago.

Even Silver Dollar City isn't safe from the PC police. So sad...

Love seeing SirWillow in action!
The main thing, you silly people, is that it's FUNNY! Have a sense of humor, it's not supposed to be serious.
Do you have links to the full robbery shows you featured in this video?
Ack. Forgot to get those. Give me a few to put them up for you
Where do you know if there is a tornado warning??
People will complain about anything. Just use a little common sense when you decide who to listen to.
Unfortunately nowadays it seems whoever yells loudest and longest gets the results, even if they're not the most "common sense".....
Love it! Had to laugh when you mentioned a .410 shotgun. For those that don't know - a .410 shotgun is basically only good for squirrels or rabbits. I shoot skeet every weekend. Yes I use a 12 gauge. Political correctness drives me nuts. I know you talk about SDC in this video but we've definitely seen the re-tailoring of the Disney properties over the years as well.
I find it funny when people staying in condos complain there is no daily maid service.
A 410? Oh goodness. That's a rabbit gun!
Yeah I am a sub love your vids man
Not a complaint but my favorite are from one of my Cats visits in UK where I had Cats make up on (yes I like to do that) and showed it to the people sitting behind me. One of them said: "Do not show that to my sister, she hates that kind of make up!" - Really? You guys are on the wrong show. Johan.
Yes I agree it's a part of history.
Always wondered why the Ma bit was taken out...I miss that part. Sad people have lost a sense of humor.
Things like the gun robbery in SDC are going away because of "Special Snowflakes". I wish more people would not give them the attention they crave.
Yes that is sad.
One of the saddest things I ever heard was someone referring to the saloon girls as glorified prostitutes. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are entertainers. And they do a fine job.
Sir willow I would love to ride the train and be the one they choose as “maw”
Crud, At Dog Patch I almost got married to a Train Robber’s daughter at five
Is that Kennywood Thunderbolt above your right shoulder?
Im guessing you mean the book about Kennywood. Yes. :-)
SirWillow Lol it the lightbulb went off. I have that book! Would be great to see you out there eventually. Look for the very enthusiastic ride op that’s likely me haha

The goofy robbers I miss going on the train i love alfie and ralphy I would also give them taffy
Seen multiple videos of the robbery and I only now notice Ma's grave! XD
I wish people would calm down and realize guns were a part of life in Old West. I live in Idaho and guns are still a part of life! Even the city folk love to go hunting in the woods. Plus, I'm sure all the employees are trained on gun safety.
I also just noticed the grave
3:40
YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED
You should do my job I work with a lot of people in the stage works it can get strange sometime s
Was it just in my mind or was maw's legs still kickin'? I was probably 7 when I saw it live.
There was a period of time when her legs moved. So yes, you probably did see that.
Neat!
Bring back Ma and Pa
That’s when you should refund there money and escort them out of the park. If there that easily offended they don’t need to be there to begin with.
I wish they would bring back the old show I miss it stop playing to the sensitive people if they don't like it to bad keep quiet and don't ride it anymore easy fix
People always find ways of complaining about everything or saying something political about something. It’s sadly the world we live in now-a-days.
some people can't get jokes and are not very smart.
I so scare of guns 2 bad things happen someone die and someone hurt bad and I saw both I have very good hearing I almost hear a dog whistle I don't like fireworks balloons
That's the problem these days. No one has a sense of humor anymore. People need to get a grip. It's jokes people.
Hello
And now they’re changing the name of the Cleveland Indians. People are sensitive these days aren’t they?
They don't have a sense of humor.
Do you ever run in to people you used to work with at the parks while visiting as a guest
Quite frequently. Especially at Silver Dollar City, but every trip I had to Walt Disney World this last year I ran into someone I knew from working every day at the parks.
I love sir willow

Hmm, I think someone is having a hard time separating fiction (Alphie and Ralphie Bolin) from reality (the people on the train). :-P
