This spring we didn't get to take the Grand Exposition Coaster for a spin
so Bond wasn't able to add it to his already impressive coaster count.
So we made sure to hop on for a ride during our visit.
Here's Bond and his one hundred and sixty-second coaster. Not a bad
coaster count for someone who is eleven. But then again he has me
for a Dad and we go everywhere we can to ride so it's not that hard to rack
up the credits.
We both love a good swinging ship, especially when we can get all the way
in the back. The Galleon is one of the many rides back in the Grand
Exposition area of Silver Dollar City.
While circling Silver Dollar City if we got anywhere near the suspension
bridge Bond just had to go and jump up and down all they way across it.
I can't blame him as it is pretty fun. I did read that other than
Marvel Cave this is the only other original "attraction" that opened with
Silver Dollar City back in 1960.
