10 new family adventures & Harlem Globetrotters first-ever extended-run show

SDC_Firemans_lndg-logoBRANSON, Mo. — Silver Dollar City debuts 10 new family adventures in Spring 2015. Named Fireman’s Landing, the all-new area harkens back to the days of bucket brigades and volunteer fireman all centered around the headquarters of “Fire Station No. 3.” Featuring six family rides and four interactive play zones, this nearly two-acre addition to the 1880s city features fun for the whole family, ages 3 to 93.

But that’s not all — the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters will join the park for Silver Dollar City’s Star-Spangled Summer. For six straight weeks guests will enjoy slam-dunk hit entertainment showcasing highlights from the Globetrotters’ one–of–a–kind touring show.

The 10 new attractions at Fireman’s Landing include:

  1. Fire Spotter – Soaring balloons for spotting fire dangers
  2. Fire Wagon Frenzy – A bumpy ride for bucket brigade volunteers
  3. FireFall – The 8-story fire tower free-fall drop ride for the more daring recruits
  4. Firefighter’s Fire Drill – Featuring buckets, pumpers, foam ball cannons and targets for showering mock fires
  5. Firefighter’s Fire Escape – An obstacle course of tubes, mazes, climbing structures and slides
  6. Firefighter’s Junior Escape – A soft play area for toddlers
  7. Fireman’s Flyer – A low-flying swing ride for little firefighters
  8. Up the Ladder – A smaller tower drop ride for junior recruits
  9. The Roundaboat – A bouncing ride on Dalmatians racing around a fire hydrant
  10. Firehouse Splash Yard – Squirting water jets and pump hoses

The citizens of Silver Dollar City know all too well of the dangers of a fire as during the late 1800s the town then known as Marmaros burned to the ground. Following that devastating event, citizens rallied and quickly decided that they would never fall victim to such a fire again — together they would be prepared. The fire chief is now asking that all volunteers be ready when duty calls at Fireman’s Landing — it only takes one spark to light the fire of family fun.
