I lived in Branson through the '90's. Raised my kids there. BOY has it changed!! Lived around Table Rock Lake off and on from the mid '70's until the move to Branson. My kids, now adults, HATE the Landing and the Titanic because they tore down some of their favorite places to build them. Also a lot of us called Silver Dollar City "Steal Your Dollar City". At one time it was cheaper to go to Disneyland.
I just got back yesterday from a vacation in Branson. We went to the Titanic museum, and Ripley's just to throw a couple names out. The Ripley's museum was pretty boring, but the Titanic museum was neat. I had to take my hand out of the ice water after about 30 seconds. I've never felt anything so cold in my life. Even ice cubes are warmer than that water. There's a lot of good shopping in town, but it can get expensive. We actually came home with a woolly mammoth tusk fossil. I also came home with a Mars rock, and a meteorite. Being an astronomy nut, it was well worth the trip. The only thing we missed out on was the Promised Land Zoo out at Eagle Rock. But that was only because it was closed for a private event.
If you're going to try only one Mountain Coaster make it Runaway at night.... definitely the most thrilling. Copperhead is also fun and the smoothest ride by far
Live in Nixa and just got back from Silver Dollar City about 20 minutes ago. Went into the Marvel Cave for the first time ever! Not a good time for someone afraid of heights! Was beautiful though! Nice to have something like Branson about 35 minutes away!
It IS nice! Marvel Cave is one of my favorites too. I was mind boggled when I went down there. I wondered how on EARTH did I not know a cave that huge was underneath!!! 😱
We used to live in Arkansas and it was just a "hop, skip and a jump". Now that we live in Louisiana it seems to take FOR-EVER to get there, but it's worth the drive!!
@@wiserlivingrealty Somebody should know that lives in Branson. I remember The Grand Oaks Hotel was across the street. Maybe someone their will remember. It was in the late 1990's and before 2005
I would say right in the dead center..... BUT one thing that's cool about this theater is that it goes far off to the right and left, so really you can see new things from anywhere in this place. 😂
SDC is expensive but considering you can get an entire day for around $70 when most other things will cost 30-50 for a few hours enjoyment at best.... it's actually the best deal in town. WW for about $50 is next best deal. Don't waste your money at Fritz
Do NOT rent a hotel room. Call Dreams2Reality for a beautiful fully stocked/furnished condo. Cheaper than most hotels and actually much cheaper considering there's room for the entire family. I can't believe I ever wasted money on a hotel room

It's too bad you all don't like the landing or the Titanic. I think those are nice places to go to! 😂
Um...do you have brain damage?

I'm glad to hear that you really enjoyed it! Branson is perfect for a weekend trip for anyone. You will always find something to like! 😄

Copperhead is also fun and the smoothest ride by far
As long as it's not too cold outside... this would be perfect!
Awesome video
Thanks
A food review would be good too
Honestly that's a great idea!!! I'll add it to our list.
Nice review of Branson. I just was at Silver Dollar City about 2 weeks ago.
How was your trip!?
phenomenal video!
Hey thank you so much!!! 😃

Hey, thank you so much!!
I'm a big fan of 1984 arcade. Great video! I shared on Twitter.
Hey thank you so much!!! We love the 1984 Arcade too. 😃
I go to Branson twice a year(since 2016) I'm staying at stone castle tommorow takes me about 9-10 hours to drive there from Louisiana
That's a long way to drive!!
@@wiserlivingrealty yup pretty long drive arkansas seems like its huge and takes 6 hours to get from Eudora to Harrison
We used to live in Arkansas and it was just a "hop, skip and a jump". Now that we live in Louisiana it seems to take FOR-EVER to get there, but it's worth the drive!!
Best burger in town is Shimi's
2nd best Scooters (the jalapeno cream cheese burger is delicious)
Planning to visit Branson, Check out Fairway on the Rocks, sleeps 8 and 2 miles from Silver Dollar City. On Airbnb and VRBO.
We will have to do that!
Indoor zepyr ride at Silver Dollar City??
I haven't heard of a ride called Zepyr at SDC? Are you sure your thinking of Silver Dollar City?
I saw terry bradshaw in branson Sunday night
Very cool!
Sights and Sounds Theatre is very beautiful. What was the name of the hotel before Stone Castle
Honestly I'm not sure.... but I do like Sight and Sound Theatre!
@@wiserlivingrealty Somebody should know that lives in Branson. I remember The Grand Oaks Hotel was across the street. Maybe someone their will remember. It was in the late 1990's and before 2005
I remember when it was Dixie Stampede, I went first to Branson when I was 6,im now 13,so that's cool
I went there wen I was young too and it was awesome
@@Pokeboys001 we are going back soon, so that's gonna be awesome lol
Yeah I went through like so many times when I was young but like we'd go every year but I got so upset when I heard they changed the name
@@Luna857 ik, it was such sad news to me bc I remember being there and seeing the horses and everything
I went there when I was 35 and 39 im going again soon
What is rodeo drive? You need to get out of Missouri more often.
Where is the best seat location for Site & Sound Jesus show?
I would say right in the dead center..... BUT one thing that's cool about this theater is that it goes far off to the right and left, so really you can see new things from anywhere in this place. 😂
@@wiserlivingrealty Thank you...I booked today at your rec. Any dining suggestions?
Oh and the Branson coaster was shut down by the way
I did not know that! Thank you for letting us know.
SDC is expensive but considering you can get an entire day for around $70 when most other things will cost 30-50 for a few hours enjoyment at best.... it's actually the best deal in town.
WW for about $50 is next best deal.
Don't waste your money at Fritz
I think you really can get a good deal when you're looking for it! 😃
So it's not expensive
Me waiting if he will say the Branson landing: 👁👄👁
Has anyone here ever been to grand country just asking
I went to their indoor waterpark and the buffet back in March it was great probably the best indoor waterpark I've been to
Yes sir. Lots to do and the indoor water park was okay not amazing but I will not reccomend papa grands pizza that sherry was not it
Has anyone seen Hamner's Unbelievable Variety Show?
I haven't had the chance to yet!
Hamners is absolutely amazing
Does the aquarium have real animals? Lol

Changed the name cause it MIGHT offend a African American person...give me a FREAKING BREAK!!!!!
abba dur....
