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.
