Kamp Runamuk

Yay for being spontaneous! Four Kampers were on a mission today: to accomplish an extra day of SDC this year…and it paid off exceptionally well.  A grand total of 15 rides for the most experienced riders (12 for Spider due to hunger) made for a very good day at Silver Dollar City.
This gives us our [...]

Today, the weather was very sunny and hot….and humid.  However, that did not prevent us from getting in many good rides on our second of the three planned SDC trips this Kamp season.  Not even the big crowds could keep me and Bobber off the rollercoasters, because for some odd reason everyone wanted to wait for [...]

It’s official….Corky’s back to Kamp for his rollercoaster fix.  It was an official agreement between all three current Kampers that an early start was in order to achieve maximum ride time before the crowds woke up from their long naps and came out to SDC.  So that is what we did…we departed Kamp at 7:50 [...]

Unfortunately, this Kamp Season’s done. But, we will return next year, and sail…..to the setting sun. As this Kamp draws to a close, it is now time to present the FINAL SCD RANKINGS to all Kampers, according to myself. After four awesome and fairly unique trips (seriously, no two trips were alike) I have the [...]

That’s right, week number four. A much less Kamp-Populated week for sure, conisisting of only myself, Spider, Bobber and Cookie. But a smaller crowd did set up for many more rides! In total, we took fourteen rides all over the park today, surely a new record. But this was not the only Kamp record set [...]

In order to be included in the discussions regarding the rankings of the Roller Coasters and rides at Silver Dollar City , I had to be brave and get on the rides to experience them first hand. I can say now, that I did have a lot of fun and am glad that I [...]

The sound of repetitive country music and “y’all come back now, y’hear?” was a welcome sign of our third trip to Silver Dollar City. A later start due to Kicker’s departure gave us a good look as to what really happens at SDC on the day after a big rainstorm. Crowds were eminent, yes……but we [...]

Hello Kampers! I have from the presses the rankings from our Second Official SDC trip. A fun time was certainly had by all….even accounting for the crowds and the cold weather (which normally would be welcome….not after a trip down both the American Plunge and the Waterworks Waterboggan). Although we only went on each ride [...]

Aaah, yes. The sweet smell of popping kettle corn, cotton candy and stagnant water. The return to SDC was causing excitement in the air all last night and this morning….which we began, as usual, with some big cinnamon rolls. We ran it a bit differently though today, as me and Huck took off on some [...]

This may be considered “Post Kamp” news but Bobber and Cookie went to Silver Dollar City on Friday and Bobber rode Wildfire AT NIGHT with Mark and Linda.  What a riot!  SDC is lit at night with Christmas lights but the ride is still in the dark.  There’s nothing to prepare you for the next [...]
