Park News - (10/15/09) Silver Dollar City will host it’s annual An Old Time Christmas at the park from Nov. 7th to Dec. 30th, 2009. An Old Time Christmas transforms the 1880s-style theme park into an evening wonderland, featuring the Christmas on Main Street light and sound show throughout the park Square, 1,000 decorated Christmas trees, a Holiday Light Parade, the Broadway-style production A Dickens’ Christmas Carol, festive holiday foods and over four million lights.
    The 5-Story Special Effects Christmas Tree is the park centerpiece, a towering visual icon that comes to life at dusk each evening when the Christmas on Main Street shows begin. During the shows, the massive tree blazes in synchronization to the musical movements of Christmas songs -- up to 100 light changes per second -- while lights on buildings, in hanging canopies over Main Street and on Christmas trees around the Square flash along with it, accompanied by surround-sound, immersing guests in the experience.
    (10/5/09) Pictures taken at this year’s National Harvest Festival event can be found at MidWestInfoGuide.

    (7/6/09) Silver Dollar City welcomed coaster enthusiasts from around the country late last month as the park hosted ACE’s big national summer convention. The park has sent us a nice picture of some ACErs enjoying a spin on Wildfire (see sidebar).
    (6/13/09) With the World Fest event now over the park has moved on to the summer long National KidsFest event. New this year will be performances by a Swedish group called “Jeerk!”, the returning Magic of Peter Gossamer show, VegieTales: The Invention of Silliness and much more. Visit the official site for details.

2010 - Tom & Huck’s River Blast - Confirmed - (11/5/09) Silver Dollar City has announced Tom & Huck’s River Blast as their new attraction for the 2010 season. River Blast is a “Splash Battle” style boat ride where the riders are armed with a water gun to shoot at interactive targets as well as guests along the shore, some of which can fire back with their own water guns. Go to the official site to read more details while you wait for it to open on March 18th, 2010. In the meantime, new construction pictures from the park were added to SDCFans about a week ago, and you can see that the station building is already very far along.
    (10/4/09) Construction progress has begun once again for the 2010 project. See pictures at MidWestInfoGuide.
    (8/18/09) Construction for the 2010 attraction at Silver Dollar City has started once again on the old site. You can see more over at MidWestInfoGuide.
    (10/14/08) A reader who visited the park on Sunday tells us that the signs on the construction fences around the Tom Sawyer’s Landing Project have changed the date from 2009 to 2010, confirming a rumor that this park would follow Dollywood’s lead.
    (10/8/08) New pictures of the construction site at Silver Dollar City have been posted to SDCFans.
    (7/28/08) Make the jump over to SDCFans to see some current photos of the Silver Dollar City construction site where quite a bit of clearing has taken place. They’ve also posted new pictures showing off the status of the parking lot / new road project as well as the nearly finished Culinary Arts School building which is said to be opening on September 11th.
    (7/7/08) A new construction update from Silver Dollar City can be seen at MidWestInfoGuide. It shows all the large new construction walls blocking off the Tom Sawyer’s Landing area which have now also added teaser signs promising a new “family-fun ride” for Spring 2009. There are more that offer some clues, like a message from Tom claiming that he and Huck will be back “next spring with a blastin’ load of fun.” Meanwhile the rest tease everyone about looking for peepholes and how they’re not giving away the secret just yet. There is also an update showing off more about the current Kids Fest event.
    (6/26/08) According to Screamscape sources construction walls have suddenly gone up surrounding quite a bit of the old Tom Sawyer’s Landing area. The popular rumor is that a Tom Saywer and Huck Finn themed River Battle style attraction could be coming in, an attraction that was actually shown off in a recent guest survey about possible future attractions. We’ve been sent a copy of the artwork used for this survey as well. According to the survey the are a few different names variations under consideration for the attraction, all of which seem to include the use of the “Tom and Huck” names followed by things like River Battle, River Blast, River Adventure, etc.  Now I guess the only question is this… would this be part of the multi-attraction package on the way to the park for the 2009 season, or would this all be for 2010? You can view some discussion about the matter posted to the SDCFans Forum as well as some pictures of the new construction walls here blocking off the balloon ride and other sections here.

2011/2012 - New Coaster - Rumor - (10/14/08) With the delay of the 2009 project to 2010, I am assuming any new coaster project for the park will also be delayed for a year or two.
    (6/26/08) While this is just a small rumor right now, we’ve heard the Gerstlauer name dropped for SDC’s 2009 project once again, but this time in connection with a possible new custom Spinning Coaster project. Anyone know more?
    (12/3/07) Silver Dollar City revealed to the ACE Coaster Christmas Con attendees that something BIG will be coming to the park in 2009 that will be their largest capital investment to date. By coincidence they will also be hosting the ACE Coaster Con that year. Previous rumors have claimed the park was seriously looking at adding their own custom themed Gerstlauer Eurofighter to make a themed attraction similar to Dollywood’s new Mystery Mine.
    (5/11/07) We've heard that Silver Dollar City may be considering the addition of their own themed Gerstlauer Eurofighter coaster, inspired by the positive guest response to Dollywood's Mystery Mine.
