- Located deep within the Ozark Mountains, this 1880's theme park not only offers great rides, but also elaborate theming, gorgeous landscaping, good food, and a one of a kind cave tour! It's no wonder people travel from all over to visit this one of a kind park!

I haven't even watched it yet, but I already know he's gonna talk about cinnamon bread.
yup
6:43
Lol ya
Cinnamon bread city
Heck yea!
"I got some gold, six flags golden membership".
"Six flaaaaa I don't need to talk about that place"
Lol
Taylor: "This park feels like you stepped back into the 80s"
Time Traveler: Your welcome
Underrated comment! Bravo! 👏👏
@@jackcrola1076 Thank you!
that was good lol
You're
Hahaha
If Knott's Ghost Town was turned into an entire park, SDC would be that park.
I was just thinking about the similarities the other day. It begs the question if Herschend bought Knotts from Cedar Fair what else would they would do with it I wonder?
@@sgtmyers88 I think they would make the entire park western themed and would probably have different additions that would fit the western theme better.
The city is known to be haunted sooo
To me you can’t get any better than this park as far as a complete package. Rides, Food, Shows, Theming, and Employees are all top notch. This is the closest experience you can get to Disney/Universal at a seasonal theme park!
I’ve gotten night rides in the cold during a fog advisory. Insane
If there’s one cool thing about Missouri that people don’t know, it’s that we have really good caves
FRRR
Meremac Caverns is one of my favorite. It’s kinda hidden in the forest, and I don’t know how anyone found it.
We are the cave state
I’m really enjoying the high quality re-reviews!👏👏👏❤️
Silver Dollar City, a park that let's you cancel your gym membership.
Underrated Comment 🤣
Lol
Always great to see a strong review of one of the best and not often enough talked about theme parks. I’ve been going to the park since 1997 and it never disappoints. It’s a treasure and cannot be replicated. The setting alone is perfection. It doesn’t feel like a theme park. It feels so authentic. Everything is rustic, raw lumber and rusted metal and tin, hand painted signs and artwork, craftsmanship galore. I adore it all. I appreciate you mentioning the continuity of the theming as well. I’ve always preferred this park because you almost never see a theme park with one theme throughout. The immersion is endless here and I think it’s a huge leg up compared to Dollywood with its various themes and blown out open spaces in the back.
This is my childhood park and I absolutely agree with everything you said. The theming and immersion throughout the park is severely underrated. The whole park is an experience in and of itself, and it literally feels like a whole different world. It was even crazier to me when I was a kid. I'm very glad that I live so close to it.
I really do hope they have that shark problem under control
@@officialchase02 uhhh....it was a joke
One of my biggest regrets was being within about hour from Silver Dollar City on a cross country road trip and not pushing to go there.
I used to go here every weekend with my family. Its the best experience, I have so many memories flooding back watching this! Thank you🥺 I've been missing my home, and my family in Branson so much. I needed this smile.
I’m blessed to live only a hour away and I’ve grown up going to silver dollar city and I’m still never bored when I’m there
loved your commentary and shared your passion to coaster! I’m totally amazed by your ability to explain everything effortlessly and clearly. One can only imagine the immense work behind the scenes, well done mate.👍 keep the good content coming.
Thank you!
Is this park handicap assemble?
I've been to DOLLYWOOD..
Went here for christmas an few years ago and my mind was blown. Hands down one of the best parks out their
Ah thank you for taking me out of my misery of watching the Artemis Fowl movie by uploading something for me to watch 🙏🙏
That movie makes the Percy Jackson movies look like high-brow masterpieces
I’m a Branson area resident and grew up going to the park, i sometimes forget how special it really is. Great video!
I grew up not far from this park and went there countless times and it is crazy to see what it has become. Thunderation was THE ride at the park for so long until wildfire came and started the shift into what is today. It would have been awesome growing up around the park now, such a different experience.
Been going to this park sense 1963 was 6 years old never disappointed . Go back every few years Feels Like Home
It looks like a great theme park, I really want to go, I am a very big theming fan so it definitely seems to be my cup of tea.
Def go!! My family and I go ever year,it's amazing and so much fun never disappointing, totally recommend
@@Macc777 Have you ever got the fast pass trailblazers? Also, is it busy on Sundays if Yu have ever been? Thanks
@@arthurfrayzond I haven't!
The theming is probably the best in the world outside of Disney and Universal! My advice is to go during their Christmas season for some real amazing theming.
Mystic River Falls is a ton of fun. Also their log flume gets you soaked and it really takes you by surprise.
The best theme park I've ever been to❤
These updated reviews are really good. You should do more of them.
Dollywood is an hour and a half from where I live, so it's my home Park and I love it. After seeing Taylor's excellent video and hearing him enthusiastically describe SDC, I must say I'm a bit jealous/envious. Can't believe I'm even saying this, but SDC looks prettier AND cooler than Dollywood. I love the constant theme vs the various different areas at Dollywood also.
Gotta get to SDC as soon as I can.
It's so weird to think back to before Wild Fire, its a small B&M but it really marked a turning point for the park. It was the first REAL thrill ride the park invested in. I've been going since I was 7 or so, about to have my first kid and SDC will def be their first park.
How is a 160 foot tall b and m small
@@R7SkIlZ short layout. It goes drop, Immelmann, vert loop, cobra roll, slight turn, corkscrew, 270 degree helix into breaks.
@@blakebetsworth9869 well yeah if you mean length but that’s like calling outlaw run small because it’s 30 seconds long or saying dragster is small because it’s like 15 seconds long
@@R7SkIlZ compared to other B&M coasters of the same model type its small. But if you're really getting hung up on the word "small" then fine, I think it's short. And being as you brought up Outlaw Run, I think its also "small" compared to other RMCs, but to be fair it's topper track and really stands alone as a coaster type after all of the rework on Lightning Rod. I love both roller coasters though.
This is one of the only things I miss from the Midwest. I love silver dollar city and went there ever since I was a kid and have fond memories of going. I hope I can go back sometime. So far this has been my favorite theme park of the ones I’ve been to
We first went to Silver Dollar City in 1977. From then on we went back every year, sometimes several times a year until our kids were grown. Now we go back every once in a while with our grown kids and our grandkids. We've got some really great memories at that park !
SDC is beside Islands of Adventure and Cedar Point my absolute favorite themepark in the US and maybe overall!
A friend of me said "It´s like oldschool Disneyland, but in real". Love the unique atmosphere, the ride lineup, the scenery and landscaping, the cavetour. This park is just love!
You described everything perfectly. This park is amazing, hopefully I can get back here sometime soon.
I’ve been going to SDC since the mid 90’s. It’s my favorite theme park and it’s changed a lot over the years. My favorite part, as a kid, was splash harbor. The cave is awesome.
I grew up in the Ozarks and went to SDC nearly every year growing up in the 80s and 90s. Great video - glad you captured how immersive the park is and all the unique rides and amazing food. They have a lot of new rides since I moved away but I'm hoping to visit again someday soon. One of the best theme parks in the country, for sure!
In STL so only a few hours away. We used to go here every year as a kid. This place brings back so much nostalgia it’s insane. Love how they continually add new rides as well.
I got on Outlaw run with fireworks going on at night. It was ✨lit✨
I remember doing the shootout water ride! I'm 34 and remember doing this when I was 11! Definitely an old ride! Thanks for the blast from the past!
I've lived in the ozarks my whole life and going to SDC biannually is what keeps me going.
Gotta say that I've also got friends that work there and hate it especially during the summer. Employees have to wear old timey dresses and things and the probability of passing out from heat exhaustion is very high. Gotta love it.
I would also like to point out that SDC has one of the best social media accounts ever
Right after Wendy's xD
@@coastercar can’t forget them
@@tismejaytee and now they own KK, which already has a great social media account too!
True. Whoever runs their social media pages is a complete savage
What happened with the last video? where a piece flies off of Superman? I know you can see this Taylor
Edit: like so Taylor sees this
Six Flags probably told them to delete it LOL
I kinda wanted to see that, also about the metal part, it probably has nothing to do with b&m, most likely just six flags being six flags.... :)
I removed it
SDC is my home park and the one thing you couldn’t have mentioned is their consistency. I probably 20+ times a year and every single time they deliver an amazing experience.
It changes every year (new rides, different shows, the weather is bendable) you'll literally never get bored, I go every year and to mention the staff that play the part of old times so well its good to take kids and friends
One of my favorite parks, can't wait to go back for opening weekend! Btw good bumping into you and the crew at Dollywood for New Years!
Taylor... thanks for the great review of this gem of a theme park. I have been going to SDC since i was a kid and have so many awesome memories of past visits. I have to say that there has never been a visit that has in any way disappointed. My fave rides are Fire in the hole, flooded mine and powder keg. Branson is a super cool area to visit too with plenty of things to do once you are out of SDC. Keep up the great work and bringing us good content that is well put together, delivered and brought to all of us enthusiats. Stay safe and healthy! Jeff G in Chicago P.S. I am also a HUGE Fan of your friend from the UK, Shawn Sanbrooke.
Once again just want to say love the reviews man. Always excited to see a new one.
I adore this park so much it’s one of my favorite parks I’ve been to. Great review!
This makes me even more excited to go to SDC this year for Moonlight Madness. Thank you, Taylor.
I'm loving these park review videos!
Love Silver Dollar City, love it every time we go, my dad owns a timeshare and a resort in Branson and never disappoints when I go! And heck yes the food is so good and the food there is homemade, made by scratch! Like you can't go wrong with homemade food
My list of parks to visit is so big now because of these reviews, but I'm super excited to start visiting them!
@7:20 I would like to mention too while we all got our preferred favorites. My go-to for night rides at the park is Powderkeg. Experiencing that sudden launch and shooting over that first and 2nd airtime hill into complete darkness in the woods is freakin AM-A-ZING.
This is my bucket list park in the US... Looks so so good! 👌
I've been going to this park since I was a baby, so I never really considered the layout to be confusing. I know that place better than most know they're own house.
I'm 39 years old and have been going to this park since I could barely walk. I remember when the park had no roller coasters to speak of, but it was still a helluva good time. The theming and shows are top notch. The food is amazing. Fun fact, some of the theming is based loosely on the history of the area. The indoor kiddie coaster Fire in the Hole has its theming rooted in a town, now under water, that was destroyed by a fire in the 1890s. I believe the old church in the town square is an actual country church that was moved to the park and restored.
That’s pretty interesting! I remember going there
I went in 2020 and I can't wait to go back to this park. After Cedar Point, this park and Dollywood are my next 2 favorites. I really need to go for the night rides on Outlaw Run and Time Traveler as that wasn't an option on the day I went in 2020. Great review!
I agree with all of your points. Granted, since it's my home park, I take it for granted so badly, but seeing great people like you who rave about this place make me very thankful that it's so close to home.
As for Mystic River Falls, it's been a maintenance headache for the park, but it seems like they got the shark issue under control thankfully. Sounds like the sharks all went south for winter lol
Flooded Mine is indeed one of the older attractions, if I'm not mistaken it opened in the 1960s. Fun ride, but nothing too special
Great to see your refreshed thoughts on the park!
Taylor the 4K footage coaster beast.
i live in springfield missouri so i’ve grown up on silver dollar city and i’ve always loved it. i’ve been during the christmas event twice and it’s truly amazing. i’ve been there so many times and i’m sure if i went today i would still be able to find a new place that i haven’t seen before because there’s so many nooks and crannies in this park. surprisingly i still haven’t been through the cave but i’m planning on it for the next time i visit. if you can catch the park at a time when it’s not too busy like when it first opens or in colder weather it’s truly an amazing experience. there’s so many little stands and things to do here i don’t think it would ever not be fun for me. i’ve been to a lot of different theme parks and while they’re fun i don’t think anything will ever top sdc for me.
I live a bit far from here but try to visit every other year or so. Probably my favorite park in existence since it has both one of my favorite coaster lineups and best atmospheres combined.
I've always wanted to visit this park, it looks like a great time!
Wow, this review could not be any better timed. Our family is thinking of going there for spring break. It's nice to see a review that takes Covid restrictions into account.
Fun fact: Dollywood used to be called Silver Dollar City before Dolly Parton bought it though Herschend still operates it and always has.
Actually the park is co-owned by Dolly Parton and the Herschend family
Thanks for the video! We are going for the first time this week.
Lived in branson all my life and even I couldn’t remember the layout of SDC till I started working there. Best part of working there you might ask, the 50% off on all food!
The flooded mine and fire-in-the-hole have been around since the late 70s that I am aware of
I went when the time travler was finished being made and im oing again in a few weeks. I can agree with all of this. I love it so ,uch and I cant wait to ride the rollar coasters again!
One of my top 5 parks. The theming is amazing. Time Traveler is awesome.
I live an hour from there and visit all the time! It’s an amazing park!! Time Traveler is my favorite ride there.
Thanks for the review. We're visiting soon
I’m going to silver daller city on Tuesday I am even more pumped now
My family has come to this park ever since it opened. By far the best park in the United States. I have more fun here than I do at Universal or Disney!
My home park is literally my favorite place ever
I LOVE THIS PLACE
Growing up going to SDC I never realized how lucky I was to have such an amazing park nearby. It’s wild to me that cinnamon bread is so popular! I have never tried it! My families go to was always funnel cake! I can’t recommend moonlight madness enough riding outlaw run, first row, in the dark was amazing!
Went here a couple weeks ago with my grandparents when I was visiting them in Arkansas. (we went to Branson for a day) were getting some frozen custard and this guy gave us his 2 day tickets because his daughter's didn't feel like going a second time. I loved the train, flooded mine was pretty cool I went on that one log flume type ride twice. We got some of the taffy on the way out. Sucks I didn't end up seeing those animatronics. 8 1/2 out of 10.
im so glad this is my home park
My home park. It’s amazing! Definitely recommend it.
im going here in June! and imma stay at a rlly nice airbnb! so excited! :D
Heading there tomorrow never been there before hope its alot of fun
This was super helpful, thank you!
Currently in branson, going to silver dollar city soon
I’m from Branson and I actually rode Mystic Falls (the new water ride) in December! Froze myself to death but it was great!
lol it probably would have been a lot more refreshing and satesfying on a hot day in the summer
I’ve missed your content lol ❤️ I just stopped by your channel to see if I wasn’t getting notifications or something because I feel I haven’t seen videos the last couple weeks lol know you’re appreciated❣️
Thank you, I promise there will be new content soon, sorry I have just been very busy!
@@CoasterStudios Awesome, no rush! As long as you’re doing well! ☺️
Haven't been here since 2015 but I'll be going here this Thursday
8:52, I had no idea the manufacturer was on the seats! I dont think i hace ever seen that before
Fingers crossed that the cave opens up again this year.
This is my home park the food is phenomenal
Headed there this fall. We have a Dollywood membership, so we can't wait to see how their decorations compare. Half price tickets helps too.
Went here for the first time in july
Definitely plan to return.
The view from wildfire is insane.
My grandparents worked there way back in the day. When the Powder Keg came out I was able to ride wildfire over 40 x straight in a row after the first 10 times he stopped making me get off the ride to walk around because there was literally no one else
I had the wonderful opportunity to visit my first ever amusement park last year
really glad it was Silver Dollar City
stayed in Branson for a week with my family, absolutely loved it
I'd also recommend visiting White Water, Talking Rocks Cavern, and going on the Branson Scenic Railway, which actually goes into Arkansas.
There's also a waterfront zipline called Parakeet Pete. Didn't go on it yet it seemed fun
This year me and my family went here and had the time of our lives! We came last year and I didn't go on any of the intense roller coasters. So I sat there and watched my family have a blast, I wanted to go but I hadn't experienced going upside down or drops. When we came back this year my mom got the courage to attempt time traveler. She said it wasn't that bad, so I tried it and I absolutely loved it! If your scared of roller coasters don't be, their amazing. Time traveler is the best intense one to start with trust me!👍
Did you get on outlaw run
Love this park
Silver Dollar City is the true meaning of “Theme” and “Park.” And also, the epitome of “spared no expense.”
I’ve lived in Branson for 10 years and it’s taken me all those years and many trips there to get the layout figured out. It’s so much fun tho
I love time traveler I just came back from Branson I love it🙂😊⭐️❤️! My dad wanted to go on marvel cave I was able to ride wildfire but I said no everyone thought I was 6 I’m 8!😂 mystic river falls is so Fun the train is so funny!! The flooded mine is cool! The cinnamon bread is yum!!
The nostalgia of me going there with my aunt's and cousins
Used to go every year as a young kid. Remember on the train, when you first get on. This guy was telling you about the train and the show and he says, "see that string up there? That is for emergencies only. You pull it, it stops the train. And if there isn't an emergency, I'll make one." And he holds up a rifle. I miss going to branson and silver dollar city😂😂
I love silver dollar city so much that I just wanna go there.
Some amazing stuff
Getting lost is one of the best parts of this park!
I’ve gone so much with my family that we don’t get lost anymore. We know where everything is😂
As an employee of Silver Dollar City I agree with everything he is saying about the city. Great job 😊😊😊
I’d also be glad to answer any questions you might have about the city to the best of my knowledge.
This is surreal to watch. I knew what Silver Dollar City was before Disney World because I grew up less than an hour away from this place and I still live in Springfield. It's called Steal Your Dollar City by locals but this review has given me a new appreciation for a theme park I've been to dozens of times. Yes, go during Christmas time at night it's beautiful. Yes, the food is really good. I can't really say if the roller coasters are good because they make me sick. But yes, if for some reason you end up in the Ozarks then check this place out because I promise there is literally nothing better to do here 🤣
