    Thanks for taking me back to 1970, the year my parents took me there. In the big picture it has not changed that much since then. As I know you all do know, it reminds you off "Dollywood" because "Dollywood" was "Silver Dollar City" from 1977-1986. I went to "Dollywood" when it was still "Rebel Railroad". Yes I am really old. Oh, if you ever get lost in western Kentucky near Paducah be sure to check out our wacky tourist attraction full of punny folk art, toys and history. You-all did get near us at Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston

    We visited Silver Dollar city quite a bit when we lived in the St. Louis in the early 80's. Our daughters loved the park. They both would go on the Marvel Cave tour when we would first get to the park. They knew the tour by heart and became " honorary junior tour guides". One of our family's favorite rides was Fire In The Hole. Thank you for filming it so well Will. I loved Grandpa telling the Christmas story. I really appreciate it that it is part of the train ride. Would be nice for them to do that as a part of Dollywood's Christmas season train ride. Looking forward to the second part.

    Dolly bought the Silver Dollar City in Pigeon Forge and changed it’s name to Dollywood quite a few years ago. She’s made several updates, but the core feel of the park is similar. We used to have reciprocal benefits to Dollywood with our SDC annual pass. SDC is a very special place.
    So grateful they keep the Christian theming regardless of today’s culture.

    Branson is not near a major city or interstate, so your flight was either expensive, or your drive very long, only for the gift shops and to only ride a family coaster that's almost identical to Dollywood's Blazing Fury, the Flooded Mine ride, and a train that is similar to Dollywood's, though not as good, and requires a full 5 minute wait to endure Grandpa's speech? I would have at least waited until the cave was open.
