not a duck fan.....never appealed to me to sit in a boat/car andd drive around witha buncha strangers and drive around the lake that I have seen. I could get the info they tell ya on the internet cheaper. I dunno, party pooper I guess but just think of if it were to capsize and you are trying to save your family with 20 other families trying to save theirs..............that spells fun.

You'd be surprised at the experience - it's quite entertaining, as well as educational, and it's not contrived at all.

WHAT?????? :o :o :o    A  "non-duck" fan??    say it isnt so!!!!  Come on, take your SDC pass.  Get your discount and ride the table rock ducks.. May be a little cool now, Need a warm summer day, with the wind blowing in the windows for full effect, BUT " try it, you will like it"..  Oh yes, 1 more thing. Sit in the front 1/2 of the vehicle if you can.. ;)

I can sit outside with the fan on for the warm breeze with my laptop watching a video of the ducks while my hubby gently mists me with a spray bottle from the dollar store....

cost:
50 cents for spray bottle
4.50 cents internet usage for the day
2.00 to run fan for 2 hours
Cost: 7.00...........and I stayed home and didnt capsize.

Oh, come on be a (duck) quack! I say try it before you hate it. That would be the same as me telling you how bad Silver Dollar City is without ever steping foot inside of the park. ;)

Life is short; go out and experience. Just saying. :P

It's not about the vehicle;
It's not about the splash.

It's totally about an experience that you can't get in another setting.  The Ducks are not boring.

Of course, if you have a real fear of capsizing, that's a whole other reason, and I can respect that.  The good news is:  there aren't many barges in the Branson lakes.

I've ridden the ducks three or four times and have enjoyed it each time...my family loves the experience and my four boys love the quackers and driving the duck...We actually enjoyed the Branson Landing cruise the most but both are great...The guides are very funny and share very interesting info...give it a try...

your right.. try it...  The information about the area and history is great.  the landing ducks actually tour the college of the ozarks and the driver gives a lot of history and current info..  Sorry i find it hard to believe u dont like it, but yet have not tried it yet.... AND as previously stated NO barges.  Just the showboat and they stay out of the way!!!!...  LOL.....  few days to go.

If I get one of those quack whistles, can I give to my six year old daughter and make her take it to the ex's house?

LOL...Hummm, choice 1- riding around the beautiful Ozarks countryside and going for a cruise on a beautiful lake.
Choice 2- riding around a parking lot full of cars in a green tram.  ???  I think I'll take choice 1.
