Say Rudolph suffered from CWD and had to be put down or finally got kilt by one of the Branson Blue Hairs' RVs on 76.
About Lake Silver...
On the lake, add a water fountain show complete with choreographing to Dueling Ban........err, Ozarkian Music. 5 minute show on top and bottom of the hour. This was quite common in Europe from Palace Gardens to theme parks. Older folk crowd pleasers they are. Puy du Fou had a smaller one on a lake/pond about the size of the former Lake Silver.
Would absolutely love to see that. Wouldn't cost much investment, and provide a nice extra down there. Once those walls come down, there'll be a good bit of viewing from Fireman's Landing and Dockside Grill, along with the Landing area.
It wouldn't be something that would bring the people in, but it would be something that would keep them there and be part of the atmosphere that would bring them back. It's little things like that that add up to big things that keep people coming.
BTW, I'll have a video look at the construction, the pumpkins and a few others things coming on Tuesday. :-)
