SILVER DOLLAR CITY TAKES #1 AMUSEMENT PARK IN THE LAND!

A 60th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee comes with a great big bow as Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri takes the crown for #1 Amusement Park in all the land by 10Best/USAToday Readers’ Choice Awards. In total, Silver Dollar City was awarded three amusementrelated awards in this nationwide poll of USA TODAY readers. The two additional awards go to the 2015 Guinness World Recordholding wooden roller coaster, Outlaw Run, ranked in the Top 10 Best Roller Coaster poll (#10) and Buckshot Annie’s, home of the City’s favorite skillet meals, ranks as the #5 Best Restaurant. This news is during a season when the 1880s-themed park opens a historic ride and an all-new area. Mystic River Falls, considered an engineering marvel in the global attractions industry, includes a rotating 4-platform, 8-story lift and massive waterfall drop – creating an only-of-its-kind water ride, rightfully claiming “The Tallest Drop on a Water Raft Ride in the Western Hemisphere.” “These awards highlight the world-class offerings at Silver Dollar City,” said Brad Thomas, President of Silver Dollar City Attractions. “Our guests come from all over America’s heartland. The Silver Dollar City team strives hard every day to ensure these families can escape the concerns and worries of today to enjoy our crafts, our rides, our food, our shows and festivals. We appreciate these guests for believing in us and supporting us for over 60 years, and certainly for voting for us in this poll.” For a complete schedule and more information, visit www.silverdollarcity.com.
