I wondered what happened to this place, too. Wasn't it connected with an aquarium and a waterpark?
There is another huge resort being built nearer to Branson West. I think it's supposed to have a big waterpark attached to it, too.
While we're at it, I've started new threads in the Branson Talk category - one for shows, one for food, and one for attractions.
Yep, Pinnacle Falls will open in 2010. It is supposed to be have a European theme with year-round attractions including an aquarium, themed restaurants, shopping, and an indoor waterpark. David Cushman is developing it; his family used to own Mutton Hollow (where Celebration City is now), which explains why the $600 million Pinnacle Falls will be located just west of Celebration City.
The new resort near Branson West will be called Indian Ridge Resort, and it is just massive in size and scope. It will be built on over 1,000 acres(!) and will be a resort community with lots and homes to purchase, plus a full-service condo hotel, an 18 hole championship golf course with pro shop (the pro shop will contain a "virtual golf" experience), conference center, themed-retail shopping, multiple restaurants, and an Indian History Center. And, of course, one of the three largest indoor/outdoor water parks in the US. According to the website, the outdoor waterpark will surround the indoor one. The entire resort will, logically, be Indian-themed.
It sounds like Branson will be overloaded with these resort destinations. I wonder if they can all survive and succeed? Check out Indian Ridge Resort's website
www.indianridgeresortinc.com. I will warn you that the intro has a weird looking sunset scene with what appears to be the Eye of Sauron coming at you. So be prepared!
