I think low cost exploring trails would bring a lot of enjoyment, and very high ROI.
But the disappearance of such like of Tom Sawyers Landing, The Treefort, whatever was expected from Firemans Landing, causes me to loose trust in the future of that.
Liabilities considered, I still dont see how providing the Ozark experience without long queue lines on fancy rides is so hard to implement. Grampas Mansion is STILL a favorite, and must do for everyone with us every visit.
How long before the Cave is replaced with a spinny princess ride and drink station???
Last year, buying a slingshot and shooting acorns next to the knife shop where black powder demos used to be was my sons favorite experience.
I have been going to WOF and SDC for all of my memorable life (40+yrs), and will keep going. Sure i like the thrill and adventure, and will love the new raft ride.
SDC still gets my vote on the experience for Food, Craftmanship, Adventure, Thrill, and Fun for the whole family.

Topgolf will be near the Walmart AMP. I read that another D&B will be in F'ville.

Pretty sure the current ISD layoffs are in regards to better, cheaper, and yes, foreign contracts as replacements. While the layoff tradition appears to grow, so does the WM hiring seem to be growing.

Now that the newness has worn off on FL, does anyone else miss the Gulch?
This is the first time in a decade that I am considering against Season Passes for next year.

If your email link is not working, and you are advertising deals on forums, you have a broken business model.
Maybe I should be soliciting my website management skills here.

Classic never responded to my email about a room. So they are off my list of potentials this year.
I too hate constant plugs for business. As we should be tolerant of the product placement, we should be tolerant of the opinions of such.

farmer was probably the largest occupation. and it is broad enough to include moonshiner, animals, country cookin, farm equipment.
Little House on the Praire roots isnt too awful far from SDC.

I am under 60.
I know many under 60 that would fine the cultural and actual connection entertaining, no matter if they watched the show.
I do see what you mean though.
How about adding a Moonshiners class at the Culinary school?

Put a Casino in there.
Wouldnt it be cool if George Strait/Alabama/Garth Brooks could do something in Branson? Maybe recent old Country Stars are too big for Branson anymore.

A new area called the "Beverly Hillbilly Experience". There could be a ride that is like the famous truck, American Plunge could be rethemed as Texas Tea, ...
