An Old Time Christmas (SDC)

Welcome to An Old Time Christmas at Silver Dollar City

First stop of the day would be the Opera House for Dicken's Christmas Carol

This longtime running show has become a "tradition" for the park.

The 60-minute musical has been consistently ranked as one of the best in the nation.

By far the best show in the park during Christmas.

Time to head to the Red Gold Heritage Hall for the other major production

The musical production of It's A Wonderful Life

This is another very well done production

The show features many catchy songs like "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life"

Another must see during Christmas

New this year at Boatworks is Tinker Junior's Toy Shop

In the Frisco Barn is Jingle Bell Junction

This large store features everything you need to decorate your house.

Back for it's 3rd season is Rudolph's Holly Jolly Parade

The tin soldiers are next in the parade

A naughty dog knocking over the tree.

A really neat ornament.

City Changes (SDC)

The west marquee sign at the junction of Indian Point Road and 76 is now complete

The entrance to the new Echo Hollow access road

You can see how much land has been cleared from Indian Point Road now

The foundation of the old restrooms in Echo Hollow have been removed

You can see where the restrooms used to be in the middle upper right.

The real question is how will the path down to Echo Hollow change,

I'm more than a little concerned with how close the new ride's clearing is to Echo Hollow.  I am also sadden with how many trees have been removed.

Here's a look at the new restroom construction in Echo Hollow.

Thankfully the facilities are much larger than the old ones.  Notice how a new facade seems to be taking shape for the restrooms.
