Didn't someone dumb in our group ask about the 4 K's?!?!

LOL! So they did! Totally forgot about that!

DAY THREE, Part Two:
LAMBERT’S CAFÉ!

After World’s of Fun the bus made it’s way to Branson. Though before we got to our hotel we had the small matter of a group dinner to enjoy…

Hands down the BEST group meal on a US TPR trip I’ve ever had. Do I need to say any more?

[RailBlazerI Love Donkeys!]

Why do all the photos of Prowler have captions calling it Timber Wolf?

^You had to have been there.

Was Josh on the trip?

[jray21Why do I still have a donkey title???]

I can't believe I missed the supermarket takeover, but I guess its a good thing because I already had about three bags of snacks! Are you crying in the picture with the Doritos? I thought so That chocolate pudding at Lambert's was amazing! I never thought pudding could be that good.

DAY FOUR:
SILVER DOLLAR CITY

This place was fantastic. I visited quite a few parks in 2010 and if I had to pick a favourite I’d name this place.

I don’t think I’ve visited a park in the US with so much charm. Silver Dollar City is very different from the reams of corporate parks you’ll find in the US. Lots of greenery all over the place, fantastically friendly staff and some of the best food you’ll ever get at a theme park.

They have some pretty awesome coasters too! Wildfire is a solid sit-down B&M in the same vein as Incredible Hulk at Islands of Adventure. Often a coaster like that would be the best at the park but not here – Powder Keg, the S&S launched thingy is just brilliant. Plus, there’s also the very quirky and cool indoor dark ride/woodie called Fire in the Hole which is right up there with best attractions in the park!

Oh yeah, the whole park is built right next to a hubongous cave, that you can explore the deepest and darkest depths of!

Did I mention the food was AMAZING???

I smiled reading this entire report. It's always hard for me to decide which park is better Silver Dollar City or Dollywood. They're both just so awesome and laid back. Also, I almost forgot how much fun we had on this trip, we seriously just need to do the exact same thing again (perhaps about 25 degrees cooler though)!

Excellent update Divv! I miss this trip so much

Great TR Divv! Thanks for sharing.

I finally made it to SDC last year and I was really impressed. Wonderful atmosphere. It reminded me somewhat of Dollywood. And though I still like Dollywood just a little bit better, SDC is definitely one of my favourite parks in the U.S.

Just wish I’d had more time to spend there - not knowing how awesome SDC was going to be, I gave myself about two hours to credit-whore the place before driving back to St. Louis to catch a flight. Needless to say, that wasn’t enough time - I could have spent three days there. I rode the coasters, but that was about it (didn’t get to do that amazing cave). The coasters all exceeded my expectations. I think Wildfire impressed me the most - built on the side of the mountain, it looks SO much taller than it really is. Oh yeah - and I hit that jerky stand. I tried the kangaroo jerky - delicious! Awesome park - I really need to visit again soon.

Divv, I love your sense of humor. There were several LOL moments in the last update. Thanks for brightening my day!
