Today was our first day in Silver Dollar City, the largest amusement park in Branson. The park not only has rides, it has shops and activities also. We were lucky enough to come to SDC during Kid’s Festival, which means that free activities are stationed all over the park.
We wanted to check out some of the more popular rides before they got too busy, so we went for the nearest roller coaster, Thunderation. After riding that, we decided to get a little wet on “The Last River of the Ozarks”, which actually uses real water from the Ozarks. We had all day to dry off…I don’t think we ever did get completely dry though!
They have quite a few coasters at Silver Dollar City, and we rode all of them except for one because Rachel wasn’t tall enough for it. I think the best of them all was Powderkeg, a high-speed, quick-turning rollercoaster. Rachel really liked it, but she says the Rockin’ Rollercoaster at Disney was better, as if anything could beat that!
We spent quite a few hours in the park, and then went back to the motorhome to get ready for our dinner out, as well as one of Branson’s many shows, Presley’s Country Jubilee.
We ate at a restaurant along “The Strip” in Branson, which was a buffet called Peppercorns. The dinner was really good, especially the cobblers that they had for dessert – blackberry and apple topped with ice cream…YUM!
The show that we went to was really great! It was several different types of music (classic rock, gospel, and country) mixed with hilarious comedy. The Presley family had the first show on the Branson strip, and has been entertaining visitors for 40 years. The shoe features four generations of Presley’s, all of which did a great show!
