We had our winter concert tonight with the JH and HS bands. 
It was BY FAR our best concert yet.  These kids just keep getting more and more talented every year.  So proud of them

Yeah but that doesn't really count as there was no line because the park just opened.  I guess if you run or walk briskly to the Opera House once the chains drop then yeah the line will be short -- but the shows are always packed with the exception of the last show.

Oh and don't hate that I didn't have to wait in line for the show.  We went in the back door.   "VIP" yo,

Think there's a theater in Branson for us?

The Grand Palace is sitting empty right now.

5 days seems like a lot of days left, but we'll make it.  Will definitely be glad for some days off (in-a-row).  This semester flew by, but it sure seemed like I was busier than normal.

We had an early out due to weather yesterday and we had our first snow day of the year today.  There's about 4-6" of snow on the ground, but with the wind it is swirling around creating white out conditions.  With the wind chill, it feels like -5*F

Answer time:
Any news on what it'll be like?

There really isn't any concept art out there for it, but I imagine it will reflect the rest of the fort with regards to aesthics.

What will happen to the old parts of the fort?

It will re-open and have a spotter for the river stationed up there.

Will they re-open the crawl-ways over the main path?

That is the current plans.

What's up with the big heavy cables that are attached to Huck Finn's Hideaway and go across the path

Without the cables, the Hideaway would fall over.  There was some talk last season of the Hideaway being removed completely, but I've not heard anything here lately.  I can say, however, that there are no plans to reopen it in the immediate future.

The park will be quite overrun that weekend.  The Ozark Mt. Daredevils are coming out of retirement to do a concert that weekend.  It will be crazy packed.
