So does anyone know which slide was the first in Branson?

There were so many along the strip in the early 80's I would not venture a guess. But the one still left is probably close to being the oldest. If I recall correctly it might have been a dual slide at one time. But I would not swear to it.

Here's an article from the recent edition of Branson Tri-Lakes News:

http://bransontrilakesnews.com/news_free/article_186a8902-20fe-11e5-b0e0-bf886d2071b2.html

It says the Water Chute has been on 76 for 40 years.

Junior, too!

There were many water slides that came and left in the early to mid 80s. Some of the hotels and motels began offering water attractions, and then there is Whitewater. Trends change, and other attractions came along..
