Play on words maybe? "First of its kind"... Anywhere?? .... or In Branson??
I had overlooked that aspect as well, but really the whole "first of it's kind" thing is often overblown so I tend to ignore those kinds of declarations these days. It could be a ferris wheel with some sort of minor gimmick and it'd still be "first of it's kind".

So true It could be a BIg A** Wheel, and if they have Hillbilly's running it, that would be a first..!
How about a Skyplex stand alone coaster like Orlando is getting? Probably looking for a lot more than 10 million on something like that
The property is very narrow
I really don't think it will be a observation wheel. 10 million would not touch it. Orlando's came it at 90 million while Las Vegas was in the 183 million dollar range. I might be wrong though.
