Mid Course Blues

Other parks when they make ride announcements: social media post 😠🚫👎

Silver Dollar City when it's time to tell people about new popcorn buckets: broadway production and free swag 💋💅🥰

The City's Innaguaral Fan Fest was a blast! It really set the bar for fan engagement. From charming character skits to delicious new treats, every second of the event was filled to the brim with fun. Now that this format is a proven success, I can't wait to see it used for next year's [top secret] announcement.

Some things I did as a creator:
🪓 Listened to live bluegrass
🪓 Cheered as a saloon girl was shot out of a cannon
🪓 Tried a new custom soda debuting next season
🪓 Watched other people enjoy cheesy garlic pretzel bread (*cries in gluten-free*)
🪓 Received a one-of-a-kind certificate of interest in the Marvel Cave Mining Co.
🪓 Toured the construction site of the Silver Dollar City Resort
🪓 Took a few photos

Did I miss anything?

Give me a space to be terrified and safe. Give me a world teeming with danger, but with soft edges and safety nets. I want to be a child walking through the park again, terrified of what's around the next corner and unable to contain my desire to know.

If i could take pictures like this every time I went to Universal, I'd be a happy man.
