The backwards track section on Powder Keg is there because the coaster doesn't have any brake fins on the launch, so if a rollback on the top hat occurs, the train will roll back onto that section of track, until it eventually valleys. It is simply there for safety reasons. :)

And it adds to the theming with the old track on the roof

This is my childhood park. Now, imagine driving out to SSC, and there was nothing but trees....not that way now, sadly. You parked in front of the Hospitality House, and only paid for a ride ticket. The rides.... The Flooded Mine and the Train. When Fire in the Hole opened.... we thought we had gone big time! It is SO different now, but still enough reminders from when this now 57 year old was 6. I am grown up enough to admit.... I shed a few tears. I have been in Germany now for nearly 17 years.... I MISS HOME!!!!! THANK YOU for taking me back to part of my past!

LadyDragonsblood hi, we are the same age. I grew up and still live in Kansas City. My family discovered this great park when we were on our way to see Fantastic Caverns in Springfield and saw signs for SDC and my parents thought it sounded interesting. Like yo said we parked at the entrance and all the attractions besides the crafts and cave, which were great, were a stage coach ride, the train, and flooded mine. We fell in love with the area and are loyal patrons to this day. My youngest sister now lives in Branson and her children work at the park. I lived in Holland for 2 years and the week we moved back I took my wife there who loved it. I hope you get back to the states some time and get to go again.

What a stunning looking park, love the theming they've got. Time Traveller looks so good!

Love the silver dollar city newspapers. Coolest thing ever. Time traveler with a small indoor section would make it one of my favourite coasters. So sad that it didn’t come. The cave at this park is also incredible. Highly recommended.

The joy is palpable. As.a Missourian, very proud of SDC. It’s truly a wonderful park. Coaster enthusiasts will find it very easy to marathon the park’s coasters, as they are almost always walk-ons.

Shawn you should do a top 15 coasters from this trip

Love 💗 this beautiful park ....never seen so many trees & the theming is fantastic .... so jealous of you both

Your vlogs have introduced me to so many awesome looking parks. I’d never even heard of Europa Park before your videos and now it’s a bucket list park for me and now Silver Dollar City. I knew of it but had no idea what was there. I have to go!

Because of you my bucket list keeps getting longer and longer. An amazing looking park.

This park looks incredible! I love the theming. We could tell you were struggling through the first couple of parks so it’s a joy to see you two so happy here. You both seem to truly love the experience here and its well deserved. Thanks for pushing trough the sickness for all of us!

One of the best vlogs ever. Outstanding. So glad you guys had a great day.

So honored you have you here in my home, America. As of yesterday, we celebrated this wonderful country filled with world class rides. We hope you are enjoying your stay.

So glad you're feeling better, Sean and that you both really enjoyed this park. Never been, but it looks amazing with all the trees. Lots and lots of shade. Can't wait for your Dollywood visit!

Amazing! 🤩 I’m glad you guys found such a wonderful gem of a park!! It looks stunning! 👏🏻

So glad you experienced this great park. I first went with my family as a small boy in 1968. It’s changed much over the years but has kept the charm. I hope you do come back and spend more time here and really take in all that the park has to offer. See the cave, eat the great food and take in the shows. Cheers

Wow what a lovely park great idea that newspaper guide definitely worth another visit ☺

Haha class to see you both excited!!! Looks fantastic that park!

I grew up in Central FL around busch gardens, Universal and disney... but my favorite park has always been Dollywood. When I found out that SDC was owned by the same company, it became my bucket list park. I haven't gone yet, but I am so thankful for this comprehensive tour! So incredible. You do so much for all of us folks without the time and resources to travel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I was looking forward to you uploading this park. Hope you had an amazing time, you always make me laugh and smile! Can't wait for Dollywood!

SDC is such an awesome park and it’s really grown in the last 10-15 years. With Outlaw Run being the first wooden RMC and Time Traveler, it’s a park that is leading in innovation of new concepts. I’m so glad it’s a park that is in reasonable driving distance for me and is a park I try to visit at least once a year.
