Cool! The pictures are definitely giving me a City Museum (St. Louis) vibe. Anyone know what the cost of admission will be?

Just in time to miss the summer traffic... ::) ::)

My thought exactly. This doesn't seem like the most strategic of plans. Maybe they'll have the off-season to work out the kinks.

I'm looking forward to checking it out. Looks like it could be a lot of fun.
Not sure it's a bad opening time. They should get a good rush of people with the holidays, and then after that, they'll have some time to take a look at how things worked and what they can do to fix, improve, and streamline things, and then have them ready for the tourist season next year after some time to get everything down and running smooth.

I wonder how much parking they have. The 3 times I have stayed in Branson this summer it was absolute gridlock between SOTH expressw and Gretna. I tried to drive by the wheel coming up behind White Water on Gretna and turn right. The traffic did not move. While comming up to the intersection I noted all of the roped off parking lots and signs that were specific to "Ferris Wheel Parking, this way". I never drove by the wheel being the traffic did not move and I waited in traffic for a while before getting out of there. I decided that they had built a attraction without the parking they needed and this is what caused the standstill. People will stop traffic for a mile in Branson just to wait for a opening in a parking lot to pull in. Considering they have built another attraction on the other light I am wondering if this will further hold up traffic. Branson really needs to buy the businesses at these intersections and do right hand merge and "in my dreams" fly over intersections.

It'll be a great place e to take the kids to......

Whew! Over $120 to take my family of 5. Even though my husband wouldn't participate, we still have to pay for him. Their season passes are more than an sdc season pass and is only good on sundays during the summer. No. way.

Has anyone gone? Was curious if it's worth the price? How long does it take to get through?

Yeah, definitely some elements of the St. Louis City Museum in there.
That pricing is pretty nuts though... I'm guessing it will be like the water park in Moore where the first year the prices are ridiculous until they figure out what they are doing.
Considering what people will gladly pay for zip lines though, I can understand why they set the pricing so high to start.

I see they have added an I-Fly type if attraction.

It was one time visit for us, they needed a reduced admission for those that just were bringing the kids but it's been some time now and things may have changed.

I don’t see how they stay in business with how outrageous the prices are.

I have been seeing posts on FB from friends that have tried it out. Great reviews! Almost all of the Haygoods have tried it! some of the Grand Country Bunch have tried it. Looks fun!

Because even with those prices they get a lot of people visiting. I've had a number of friends go, and they've always commented on how busy it's been. Even during the week.
And then add in an amazing number of school field trips to it... I don't think they are hurting at all.
