This is the first time in several days that I have been able to get the board to come up. I have been getting an error message about the site exceeding the bandwidth. Has anyone else had this issue?

Speaking of 2027 projects, the billboards on US 65 between Branson and Springfield now say the resort will open in 2027. Previous billboards had an opening date of late 2026.

Brad could say that he didn't lie because TNT will be in operation in 2027 -- the last day SDC will be open for this season is January 2, 2027.

Keith Allen, known as Red Neckers, recently passed away. He worked at SDC for 14 years and also had a breakfast show on the Showboat Branson Belle.

Here's a link to the article in the Branson Globe:

We have been staying at the Super 8 on SOTH, too, at least 5 times this year. It was previously the Lynina Inn.

Lisa worked at SDC from 1989 through 2022. She also worked with Herschend in promoting the Grand Palace, the Showboat, the Rockettes at Christmas, and other things.

SDC won again. Dollywood came in at 5th place.

Thanks for the info!

Does Rhonda Vincent and the Rage do the same Christmas show in all of the timeslots? I ask because during Bluegrass and BBQ all of her sets are different, so each show is different.

Crowds in mid November were lighter on Sunday and Monday but it was a very cold weekend. Was very easy to get into the shows -- Opera House, Red Gold, Saloon not full when we went. Train was about half full.

SDC has won the 10Best Theme Park Holiday event several times. There are 14 days left to vote in this year's contest. Currently SDC is in first place. Here's the link if you want to vote:
