I think there is more to the story than simply not wanting to go because it is lame. Some people just have a fear of traveling on open water, or being on a small “boat,“ and will make up various excuses to justify, and to cover up the real reason why they do not want to go.

I can understand that, and I respect that. I have a fear of skydiving which is why I will never do it. :o Besides, I can just blow a desk fan in my face, and get the same effect right? ???

On another note, I love waving at the people riding on the ducks as they pass by on the strip. Sure it may be corny, but I want the ride to be even extra special for them. :)

I dont have a fear of water, I have a fear of spending excess money. There I said it. My name is Katie, and I have a fear of spending money. I just dont see the value. And if your arugment is the duck horns you get count me out. I dont like loud toys. Call me a penny pinchin fuddy duddy but I just dont see the darn point in riding a duck.

The whole time I lived in Branson I never even considered riding a Duck. When I got married, my ten year old stepdaughter wanted to ride one, so we gave in. My wife does not like getting on boats and on big lakes, but she and my stepdaughter loved the ride. I did too. Now I really want to take my wife on the Taneycomo cruise and tour College of the Ozarks. Funny thing is, when I lived in Branson as a kid, one of the houses my parents rented had a nice lake view, so I saw the lake everyday. Later, I was a student at College of the Ozarks. So I've seen it all...but I would still ride a Duck just cause it's been so many years.
