Discovery Channel Filming at Kids Fest

The Discovery Channel will be at SDC on June 10th to film Nik Wallenda performing aerial stunts from a helicopter flying over Echo Hollow. This show will take place at 4 pm, and you can be part of the audience. The Fabulous Wallendas will also have a show during the run of KidsFest from June 11 -- July 24th.
More details in this article from the Springfield News-Leader:

That sounds great!! SDC will get some nice national exposure and it sounds like a really fun show for the guests! Wish I could be there.

I am not sure if national exposure is a good thing, or a bad thing since it can only entice more people to visit, and overcrowd our humble little park.
Teasing aside, I think this is wonderful that Silver Dollar City will be the host location for such a neat event. Silver Dollar City has really been hitting the big time these past several years. No longer is it the Ozark’s best kept secret.

Forgot to add this -- it's great timing for the Wallendas to be at SDC. They just completed a major stunt in Puerto Rico that was covered in the news over the weekend.

Anyone know when this will actually air on the Discovery Channel? I didn't see it in the article but I definitely want to watch.

It may be too early to say since the segments haven't even been filmed yet. However, the show is supposed to premier on June 22, so I would imagine shortly after that.

Here's another article (from Branson Tri-Lakes News) about the Wallendas and Kids Fest. Their regular KF show will be in the Opera House.

A few pics of the event:
The helicopter was hovering for the most part over the trees behind the Echo Hollow set. The ampitheater had been roped off about half way on the outer sections because people in those areas would have very limited viewing because of the trees on the sides, but they had to go ahead and open up the whole venue. It was packed. Overall, it was a pretty neat event. The other helicopter in the last picture had the Discovery Channel camera crew in it.
