4 million lights
Silver Dollar City's An Old Time Christmas-Biggest Light Show Ever
by Press Release
published: Nov 20, 2007
A true Christmas lighting spectacular!

One of the nation’s most acclaimed Christmas celebrations is more spectacular than ever as Silver Dollar City presents an all-new, $1 million light and sound extravaganza for An Old Time Christmas - the park’s biggest light show ever. Called Christmas on Main Street, joined in its performances by one million lights on the Square. Along with the acclaimed musical production “A Dickens’ Christmas Carol,” the colorful Holiday Light Parade, a dramatic production of the Living Nativity and over 4 million lights throughout the park, Silver Dollar City’s An Old Time Christmas is bigger and brighter than ever, running November 3 – December 30.

With the new, more colorful 5-Story Special Effects Tree as a centerpiece, the Christmas on Main Street show includes lights on buildings, in hanging canopies over the city streets and on 250 Christmas trees around the Square. As the 5-Story Tree blazes in synchronization with the musical movements of Christmas songs, the lights around Main Street flash along with it, accompanied by surround-sound, immersing guests in the experience. The performance begins with the tree-lighting ceremony at 5:30 p.m. and runs throughout the evening.

Profiled as one of the top Christmas celebrations in the country by USA Today and People Magazine, spotlighted in the Wall Street Journal, and named the “USA’s Best Holiday Light Show” two years in a row by America’s Best Online, An Old Time Christmas transforms the theme park into an evening wonderland with over four million lights and 1,000 decorated Christmas trees. The colorful Holiday Light Parade, with musical floats covered in bright lights, winds through the streets of the City each evening.

1. Allow me be the first to say...
this will not turn out well (and I'm not even a big fan of ostentatious Christmas displays myself).

2. Yeah! Lets use MORE energy! Consume, consume consume!!!
It's obscene.
People in Iraq don't have electricity but
dumb fuck Americans think it's okay to waste
energy on silly projects like this.

Why does the rest of the world hate us again?

Good thing climate change is just a liberal conspiracy theory!
Let's waste some more electricity on shit like this
:sarcasm:
