heh, the best laid plans sometimes: yeah, I missed that my shirt collar was off kilter until after it was all filmed. And there were a couple of spots where I blew my lines (hey, it's been 9 years since I've conducted a train!) And the green screen... sigh. But I hope that you enjoy this look back at what it might have been like riding one of my trains.
@Craig Kollai there were definitely times we would do things like this to our outfits on purpose, so it's not totally out of characer on the train to have the collar and other pieces out of kilter.
@Josh ingram I actually did a recreation of me driving Rhino Rally a handful of years back. You can see it at th-cam.com/video/e_uv8NMUlT0/w-d-xo.html For Disney there really isn't any way I can recreate that, as each interaction was different. There wasn't a standard or set formula for any of them, and definitely not a script. But that's also why I have so many videos telling stories about my encounters there. :-)
Mr willow, you just blessed us with probably the greatest video you have ever made. I have waited so many years for this and I can’t wait to watch. We are gonna love this, thank you. ❤
@@SirWillow it was indeed amazing. Wouldn’t have any trouble with getting a Branson show after this performance. The green screen videos are always the best and stand by it. This also brought a memory of you actually doing our train. It was more than once but I don’t have the best memory lol. Really enjoyed it. Now all we need is a couple of viewers you get together and recreate the robbery 😂 thank you so much.
I'm working with a couple of guys who used to be on the train- not just on a collab but also trying to see if we can't somehow recreate the robbery. Not sure if we can do it or not
Thank you so much for the video showing me what you did as a Conductor on the Silver Dollar City Train It was very entertaining & fun God Bless you so much Thanks again
Thank you so much for the recreation of the train script! Although, I hate that it will be changing this year due to some things that have happened in the past year. But, it has been a lot of fun listening to the conductors on the back while riding over the years. Now that I am a rail fan and that I LOVE taking videos of the trains there, it's so easy to say that I have learned a lot about the train and that I am actually friends with a couple of the crew people there. However, I do hope that I will be able to take more videos in the coming years. Even though, I love looking back at all of the memories from the train; I still enjoy it to this day. Especially if it happens to be my favorite ride on the park.
Very fun to watch they still do the "What are you waiting for get off my train!" Phrase. I wish there was more Merchandise for the train it self shirts, model trains, Pictures, signs or more
Not a bad job after 9 years George! This was really cool. Love the bloopers. I am sitting here trying to remember some of the spiels from some of the rides I worked on 20 to 30 years ago. I guess now you are going to have to do Rhino Rally.
Hey sirwillow me and my youth group are going to Branson Missouri for champions 4 Christ in July I love your videos hope you have a great day you did a really good job
If I could add or change part of the script, it would be nice if the conductors talked about whatever locomotive is pulling the train that day. Maybe a brief history of it and the railroad itself.
If we had a delay at all- and there could be a number of reasons for that- that was usually one of the first bits of information that would throw out there while waiting to be able to start moving again.
@@SirWillow now that you mention it I do remember that back in the day when engine 13 sometimes had to stop at the roundhouse crossing to build up more steam to get back to the depot. Gotta say this railroad has come a long way! 😊
So fun + interesting! I do wish you could've filmed both sides of the train so we could see what you were pointing out that was on the right side of the train. One question: why does the train seem to slow down when it is approaching the roundhouse?
I would have loved a film both sides. Trying to find a video of the whole train ride I could use was more difficult than I thought. It slows down just for the round house because it's actually weaving through the outlaw run track and there is a crossing there
Sadly now since the train had an actual derailment they took out the old Trainwreck and don't even mention Ichabod coming around the corner and jump in the tracks. I understand why they did it but it's still frustrating that they took that part out and that's not all they've changed about the conductor spiel
I knew that was coming when I filmed this- which was after yhe incident. That was one reason I wanted to record it- to preserve that part of the script before it was forgotten.
Have you rode Amtrak? Do they have an official chord for their engines? Texting them at 268725 was a non-answer said it was a button or lever, they didn't know, they'd never heen in there.

Fun though regardless! Thanks!
I just thought SDC and Disney had different standards for what is considered bad show...
Hey sir willow I loved this can you do something like this for when you worked at Disney and bush gardens of what it was like at those parks?

We just saw you recently at Escape Code! Thank you for making our experience so much fun!
Thanks for coming! Happy that we could make it a great experience for you
I remember riding the train as Silver Dollar City and had you as the conductor once and another visit you were robbing the train it was fun.
Mr willow, you just blessed us with probably the greatest video you have ever made. I have waited so many years for this and I can’t wait to watch. We are gonna love this, thank you. ❤
LOL let me know if you still think that after watching it. 🙂

I wholeheartedly agree with you TimeNerd
It was a great video
@@SirWillow if you can manage to do that, I will raise my tier on patreon, that would be so worth it. Please
Haven’t got to experience this in person but this is just as great in my opinion. Thanks for sharing keep up the magic.
Hope the retooled script is as much fun as this one. Thanks for for virtual trip for those of us who aren't able to get there as easily.
6:13 - C-3PO Moment.
This is a fun video. Thanks for putting a smile on my face
Im from Arkansas! You are the best theme park worker on youtube!
Thank you so much for the video showing me what you did as a Conductor on the Silver Dollar City Train
It was very entertaining & fun
God Bless you so much
Thanks again
Thank you…so much fun! Especially for those of us who have never been there.

This was absolutely incredible! I had a great time riding and watching!!
That's a good thing to see.
This was awesome, I loved your jokes!
Great job as a robber too

I actually did it already! though it has been 4 years since I posted it. You can see it at th-cam.com/video/e_uv8NMUlT0/w-d-xo.html
@@SirWillow Thank you. I either missed it or don't remember watching it.
Thanks George, that was great. I'm just wondering if anyone ever did pull that orange cord on your watch
Several times. I talk about them in some of my older videos about things that went wrong
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the fun ride. Is it weird I was hollering and answering everytime you asked for the crowd to?
Hey sirwillow me and my youth group are going to Branson Missouri for champions 4 Christ in July I love your videos hope you have a great day you did a really good job
Awesome! When in July? I'll be out of town for much of it but if I'm around it would be fun to cross paths. :-)
It would be it is the 17-21 in July
I fly out of town on the 18th, so sadly it probably won't happen. :-(
I still loved the video I’m watching it for the second time so far love your videos so much I really hope you have a blessed day ❤❤❤
my right ear really liked the first video..

How you doing and i am a ride operator for 7 years at the same theme park
I guess they can't say the only wreck now
Have you rode Amtrak? Do they have an official chord for their engines? Texting them at 268725 was a non-answer
said it was a button or lever, they didn't know, they'd never heen in there.
I've been on several Amtrak and local commute trains. SDC's is the only one I've seen with the pull cord like they have it.
@@SirWillow Dollywood's train has the emergency pull cable.
I guess this is taken from a script you had from 2014 ish?
2013 is my base year for the video. :-)
Nice
Good video @sirwillow
