    It was a pleasure meeting you guys! Sorry we couldn't chat long, we were on our way from the Time Traveler lockers to the River Blast. 😀
    We will report back to you what is happening at World's of Fun.
    We plan on going soon to check out the situation there.

      When the ride is shut down for weather or technical issues, the ticking stops. Have never asked anyone, but that is the pattern we noticed a couple years ago. And I must add, it's the most annoying part of the park after the first couple minutes of nostalgia wear off!

    You guys seem so very nice and you're great at talking about respecting business rules during COVID. Even my kids were a little shocked watching you add in 2x that it's a great tip to keep a beverage in your hand to avoid having to wear a mask though. My young daughter also pointed out that it would be considerate to keep masks on while the waitress is dropping food off at the table.

    • @TPF
      @TPF  3 роки тому

      Thank you for the feedback. Months ago when this was filmed, we and our community were pretty new to masks and the etiquette, etc. surrounding them. We do occasionally receive comments (especially when folks watch our older videos) that we are not masking, etc. correctly. Please know that, along with the rest of the world, our pandemic response has morphed over time and we are constantly learning how best to function within the new normal. Wishing you peace and good health! ❤️

    We went to Silver Dollar City on Tues 6/16. My 8 yr old daughter and I got to ride everything we wanted: Time Traveler, Outlaw Run, Powder Keg, and Wildfire. We stayed the whole day and noticed the park was practically empty by 4pm. I actually think now is the perfect time to go to SDC. The small crowd allowed us to get on every ride in a timely manner. Longest wait was Time Traveler but only about 25 min. Nothing else was longer than 10-15 min. Just keep an eye on wait times using the app. Plus I don't mind the 6 ft spaces in lines...that's actually a nice bonus. The masks are a pain to wear but people are exaggerating the effects. The biggest issue was wearing sunglasses with the mask...causes glasses to fog up. Just pull the mask below your nose and no issues.

    • @mclabr1
      @mclabr1 4 роки тому

      We're from Ohio and just left Branson today. First time we've ever been to Branson so I wanted to say thanks John and Amy for all the videos leading up to our trip. We tried many things you suggested and loved them all. My 8 year old kept saying "Remember when John and Amy said to go here" or "Daddy, John shot that video of Amy right there!!!" You guys were celebrities to our kids. Bummer we never ran into you.

    • @christopherferguson6262
      @christopherferguson6262 4 роки тому +2

      I don't mean to be that guy, but having the mask below your nose really defeats the purpose of the mask. In order to properly protect yourself and others, masks need to cover both mouth and nose. I have glasses so I know the whole "fogging up" problem, but with a little fidgeting, i was able to have that problem not happen anymore

    • @mclabr1
      @mclabr1 4 роки тому

      @@christopherferguson6262 Yes you are correct. Eventually I was able to fidget enough to make the issue go away as well. My point was simply to state it's not a big issue overall and we had a blast at SDC regardless of the mask policy.

    • @CMKC227
      @CMKC227 4 роки тому +1

      If you have a large enough mask, you can fix it to where the glasses are overlapping the top of the mask. Thus, eliminating the fog issue. I had to change masks to a bigger mask.

    Hey Jon and Amy. Jon needs to keep his day job. They ask the same questions as they do at Walmart here in Miami Oklahoma. Then they check your temperature with those guns. I believe they got bad guns because you should be able to stand clear across the room and check somebody’s temperature. I think silver dollar city is just trying to pay for their roller coasters and other items that they’ve put in. Me and the wife used to come to Silverdollar city had season passes 10 years straight course in the wife don’t ride the roller coasters so I think we’re getting gypped. There’s too much walking anymore and I’m in my 60s.

Now tell me it's worth it for non-covid changes supporters and I'll appreciate the effort a little more. These guys went in specifically to only mention the good. They already agree with the changes, so i've learned nothing more than what sdc puts in their ads. 🤷

      I'll make a reply. It might be hard finding someone who opposes the mask policy but has still gone to SDC. My family went 3 days ago which was the second day they were open to the public. We booked our trip back in Jan before all this happened. We made the decision to still go regardless what would be open. We had to decide a month before do to our condo reservation. So we decided to go before SDC made an announcement. Good news they would open three days before we left Branson. Bad news they would require masks. We were firmly opposed to the mask policy. Yet we decided to still go since it was a full day activity we planned. Very glad we went b/c it was my families favorite day. Both our 4 yr old and 8 yr old loved every second. The masks were a pain but didn't get in the way at all. Only issue was wearing sunglasses b/c they would get fogged up. The park is practically empty so why not go? We live close to Cedar Point. Getting on a big ride in under min is great. We rode everything and had most of the day to spare.

      I am so interested in going back to Cedar Point!! That's awesome! I completely agree with you on the wait time. I remember standing in line for a coaster for at least 2hrs when Millennium Force first opened. And every other line isn't too terrible, but still waaay longer than here.
      This Silver Dollar City mask thing is a minor inconvenience at best, but it's supposed to keep people safe IN CASE someone may be sick. I'd rather be safe and somewhat annoyed than potentially really sick or dead later, or make someone's parent or grandparent or even child sick.

      Thirtysomething I’m not saying this to be snarky or rude, but thank you for staying away from the park if you aren’t going to wear a mask. There are multiple people down there that refuse to wear their masks and it makes the operators jobs much harder when they do that.

      Summer Fish thank you for bring nice about it. If a business says I have to wear one I just won’t go. I won’t go in And sneakily not wear one.
