SaluteScoutSilver Dollar City Military Discount — Sources and Search Audit
Official pages list ticket and passport amounts without a comparable regular-price base. Seven of the nine original result bodies were readable; the full top-ten gap cannot be established.
Google sample and official page bodies checked September 24, 2026; published September 24, 2026. No purchase or eligibility verification was performed.
The Google sample did not produce a stable tenth result
The query was silver dollar city military discount with hl=en, gl=us and pws=0, checked September 24, 2026 in the signed-in Chrome. The bare Google page displayed nine natural links after excluding the AI Overview, ads, video and other non-organic features. Its footer could not determine the machine's location.
The homepage-typed search and Google Web view (udm=14) retained the first five URLs but changed the ordering from result six onward; their first seven did not match the bare page. The basic gbv=2 view had the same lower-order change. A continuation request at start=9 repeated entries from the first page before showing new URLs. Those views were not mixed into the original ranking, and no alternative URL is presented as the stable tenth result.
Original ranks four and nine were reopened once each and remained inaccessible (403). Their URLs and ranks are retained as Unknown. The tenth row records that no stable URL was observed. Counts below use only the seven readable original page bodies; therefore they do not establish the complete top-ten gap.

Among seven readable original bodies: 0/7 state a military percentage; 5/7 state a product basis plus eligibility or a limit; 7/7 provide a route or a link to the route; and 4/7 state a product season or offer-valid window. “Product base and limits” records whether a body identifies the product and a material eligibility/quantity rule; a Yes does not mean a regular-price comparison base exists.
Official offers and dated reports are kept in separate rows

| Official Military Appreciation Days page | Read in Chrome; HTTP 200. Page shows May 1-29, 2026 and says the offer has ended. | The page itself does not give the event's ticket price or detailed benefit. | Event window is separate from the review date and other ticket/pass rows. |

Reports free 2026 passes for active-duty U.S. military and separate 2026 prices for other pass types. | Reports ID.me registration, in-person CAC activation by July 31, 2026, and no Bring-A-Friend tickets or added benefits for that pass. | Posted and updated October 7, 2025; July 31, 2026 is the reported activation deadline, not the article date. |

| Reddit result | Unknown after two opens in Chrome; page displayed a network-security block. | The title and Google summary were not used as body evidence. | Unknown. |
The ID.me result's summary mentioned a percentage, but the source body was blocked twice. That summary is excluded from the rate count and from this page's offer findings. A date printed beside an article is recorded as a publication/update date; it does not replace an offer window, a 2027 season label, or the reported July 31, 2026 activation cutoff.
What this sample can and cannot support
The readable official page establishes the stated military ticket amount, ticket type, eligible group and claim route. It does not show the ordinary-price denominator, so this review does not calculate dollars saved or a percentage. The Showboat ticket, 2027 passport, 2026 Community Heroes ticket and dated free-pass story are different products or programs; their amounts are not added or ranked.
There is no current nationwide percentage conclusion here. The two blocked original pages remain Unknown, and the unstable tenth result remains Unknown. Search snippets, inaccessible source bodies, and offers from other parks do not fill those cells.
