As Samson resists the Philistines--and his own personal calling--he soon falls prey to temptation, losing his strength and sight. But has he lost hope? Experience this biblical drama in jaw-dropping scale as it comes to life through a world-class cast, spectacular special effects and live animals--on stage and in the aisles.

Experience an unforgettable, uplifting thrill ride that literally brings down the house at Sight & Sound Theatre.

BRANSON JET BOATS Making a Splash!

A whole new lake tour has arrived in the Ozarks. Branson Jet Boats is the first of its kind in the area. The tour combines an ideal location with history, local stories and natural beauty along with a specially designed boat, capable of thrilling maneuvers that makes for one unbelievable adventure in Branson.

THE BRANSON COASTER begins with a 1000ft descent immediately after departing the loading dock! The tracks twist and turn so close you’ll think you are going to collide! As you reach the bottom of the track, a chain driven system will

catch your cart and begin to bring you back up. You will pause for a brief second before you cross over the first track and begin your free fall. Don’t forget to smile as you glide past the camera! Just after making the final turn you will be lifted back towards the top!

BRANSON MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE PARK is home of the Runaway coaster.

A unique family friendly thrill ride takes you over 5,000 feet of track as gravity pulls you down hills, around corners and through two 360° horizontal loops as you race to the bottom at speeds up to 30mph. Riders can choose to go at full speed for maximum thrills or use a personal braking system to travel at a more moderate pace and enjoy Branson’s natural beauty and spectacular views as they descend the mountain. The Runaway is just the first of many planned outdoor adventures at Branson Mountain Adventure Park.

BRANSON AREA GOLF COURSES The Branson/Lakes Area is the fastest-growing golf destination in America, likely the world. Three courses have opened in the past four years, and another three are planned to debut in the next three years.

And they’re not just any courses. They’re mind-blowers, with recently opened

courses designed by Nicklaus, Fazio and Player. A Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw layout is under construction and will open in 2018, with two more by Tiger Woods announced.

There are eight courses in the Branson area. A prime example of the new direction golf is taking here in the Ozarks is the Top of the Rock course, part of Big Cedar Lodge Resort. It is a Jack Nicklaus designed, 9-hole, par 3 golf course, and is one of only eleven courses in the nation to be recognized by the Audubon Signature Cooperative Sanctuary Program. Buffalo Ridge Springs and Top of the Rock are played annually as part of the PGA Tour Champions Legends of Golf each spring.

The newly planned courses join an existing collection of good to great. Golf first came to Branson at Holiday Hills, built in 1938 by a well- known Chicago golf pro, Don Gardner. Many locals enjoy delightful Thousand Hills, a Bob Cupp design that belies the first impression its par-64 routing invokes. Sinewy, impressive Branson Hills Golf Club, where the state amateur championship was held, is a hearty, gorgeous golf test. Don’t omit playing LedgeStone Country Club or Pointe Royale Golf Village when in the area. Both public access, the former is a rollicking routing over hill and dale, where

hole names fittingly advise golfers of what’s to come – The Slot, Temptation, Deception and The Plunge, to name a few.

FUN MOUNTAIN at Big Cedar Lodge offers a 4,000-square-foot arcade with 60 of the most exciting games anywhere and featuring a few classic favorites.

An augmented climbing wall combines projected graphics and body tracking to create interactive games and to excite any climbing skill level; You can also bowl in the ocean – sixteen full lanes offer a unique underwater experience surrounded by sea turtles, sharks, stingrays, and other saltwater species. Handpainted murals and fish suspended in the air – you have to see it to believe it; Or turn your world upside-down on radically different bumper cars that rotate 360 degrees. Each time a car is hit, the car does a series of surprising moves that makes the game even more exciting; Wilderness lovers will be transported to Fort Big Cedar, an arena that can host up to 24 players at a time for the ultimate laser tag experience. Be on the lookout for wild animals like mountain lions, bears, and wolves that come alive to attack you while you are tagging your family and friends.

The run is designed to give maximum thrills to all ages, in the beautiful setting of the Ozark Mountains. Traditionally a winter activity, the Snowflex® tubing hill will also be available throughout the spring, summer and fall.

BILLY YATES’ IN THE ROUND brings the performing songwriter experience to the stage as this award-winning, Grammy-nominated singer hosts two hit writer/artists from Nashville at the Americana Theatre. You’ll feel the raw emotions, laugh, and possibly cry, as these performers share their heart and soul in this experience “like no other” in Branson.

LET BRANSON’S FAMILIES ENTERTAIN YOUR FAMILY “When half of the Lennon family considered moving from California to Branson in 1994, we called the Osmonds,” said Kathy Lennon, one of The Lennon Sisters, America’s Sweethearts of Song.

“They told us Branson is exactly what America needs, where families really matter. With the different generations of Lennons performing here, it truly is a family matter, and we love it!”

For many in Branson, show business is the family business. The Baldknobbers and Presleys feature generations of family members who perform together nightly.

Visitors can hike the trail at the 1,574-acre Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area.

In addition, there are three hiking trails, a cave and a view of Lake Taneycomo within the 130-acre Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area on Fall Creek Road.

Within minutes of the neon lights of Branson’s entertainment district, outdoor enthusiasts may enjoy ziplining, hiking, biking, riding a Segway, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, trout and bass fishing, hunting, trap and skeet shooting, spelunking, rock climbing, as well as recreational and competitive sporting activities. Public parks, beaches, resorts, campgrounds, national forests and recreational facilities abound.

The Branson/Lakes Area has three pristine lakes with hundreds of miles of natural shoreline and more than 100,000 acres

Missouri’s 1.5-million acre Mark Twain National Forest offers guests a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities in and around the nearby towns of Kimberling City and Forsyth.

TOPOGRAPHY The Ozark Mountain terrain of caves, streams, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, grasslands, forests, steep rocky hillsides, bottomland and glades make up the breathtaking topography of the area.

BALDS Although hardwood forests cover much of the Branson/Lakes Area, one of the most intriguing features is the “glades,” frequently referred to as “balds” by locals because of their characteristically sparse terrain of semi-desert soil, ledge-rock,

scattered cedar trees and prairie plants amidst rolling seas of oak and hickory trees. You’ll most often see glades on the south and west-facing slopes of hills where intense and prolonged sunlight – coupled with fires started by lightning, Native Americans or early settlers – have kept them relatively clear of trees.

BALD KNOBBERS The area’s balds served as important meeting spots for the 1880s vigilante justice gangs that organized in Taney County after many years of lawlessness following the Civil War. Started by upstanding citizens, the Bald Knobbers, as they became known, concealed their identities for fear of retribution by criminals and eventually lost popular support due to their increasingly ruthless and seemingly indiscriminate (and sometimes murderous) tactics.

You can still see “Baldknobbers” in Branson, the musical instrumenttoting kind, at the Branson’s Famous Baldknobbers show – well past their 56th year of bringing live music and good, clean family entertainment to audiences.

An authentic zipline canopy tour, plus SnowFlex Tubing Hill, has visitors soaring through the trees while traversing a series of ziplines, sky bridges and platforms or tubing down the slope.

It’s not uncommon to see wildlife within the city limits of Branson. If you visit one of the area’s lakes, rivers, city parks or campgrounds, you may see birds on the flyway to summer or winter grounds.

Lasting memories are made here.

RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS Are you planning an RV or camping trip?

If you are, you’ll be happy to know that Branson offers a variety of camping sites and RV parks for you to enjoy.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE GOLF The Branson/Lakes Area is the fastestgrowing golf destination in America.

Three courses have opened in the past four years, and another three are planned to debut in the next three years. And they’re not just any courses. They’re mindblowers, with some recently opened ones designed by Nicklaus, Fazio and Player.

These area courses are so good that two of them – Buffalo Ridge and Top of the Rock – are played annually as part of the PGA Tour Champions Legends of Golf each spring. “The best par 3 course in the world,” says World Golf Hall of Fame member Gary Player about Top of the Rock, which includes Arnie’s Barn (yes, it’s from Latrobe, Penn.), the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum, and the Lost Canyon Cave tour (in a golf cart which is included in the green fee).

The Mountain Top course designed

by Gary Player opened in 2017. A Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw layout is under construction and plans to open in 2018, with two more by Tiger Woods, including Payne’s Valley, named after southwest Missouri native, Payne Stewart.

The new and planned courses join an existing collection of good to great ones.

The Buffalo Ridge Springs course has a growing reputation as one of the top public courses in the nation. It ranks as the best public course in Missouri. A Tom Fazio design utilizing the natural features of the landscape, formerly Branson Creek, now has a herd of bison looking on.

There are eight courses in the Branson area. Top of the Rock course is part of the Big Cedar Lodge resort. A Jack Nicklaus designed, 9-hole, par 3 golf course, one of only eleven courses in the nation recognized by the Audubon Signature Cooperative Sanctuary Program.

Branson Hills Golf Club is a tribute course honoring Legendary Missouri golfers. Natural rock outcroppings, waterfalls, creeks and wooded areas are incorporated. The course was designed by Chuck Smith with design consultant and PGA Tour Professional Bobby Clampett.

Thousand Hills Golf Resort was rated 4-stars by Golf Digest magazine. This course has gained popularity due to its unique ability to cater to all golf skills levels. From novice to professional, the three separate sets of tees ensure a challenging, fair game for all.

LedgeStone Country Club at StoneBridge Village was described by Golf Digest as a “masterpiece of mountain golf architecture.” The 18-hole, par 71 championship course is just minutes from downtown Branson.

Pointe Royale is a true “shot-maker” course with lush bent grass greens and Bermuda fairways, eight water holes, sand and grass bunkers and tees for all levels of play.

Holiday Hills invites you to “play a round” with them. The scenery alone is breathtaking. A round of golf at Branson’s first golf course, built in 1938, promises to be a golfing adventure.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE LAKES

S T I L L WAT E R S R E S O R T

THREE PRISTINE LAKES The Branson/Lakes Area is well known for its three pristine lakes: Table Rock, Taneycomo and Bull Shoals. Water sports enthusiasts can swim, water ski, wakeboard, tube, boat, sail, scuba dive, jet ski, parasail, kayak and, of course, fish.

The lakes’ waters never freeze, welcoming visitors’ activities year-round. All three lakes offer resort lodging, camping and picnicking facilities and easy access to the water at a number of public marinas and boat dock/launch areas. Several commercial docks offer fishing guide services and a wide range of boat rentals, including ski boats, pontoon boats, bass boats and wave runners. Many of the resorts on the three lakes offer guide service, rental boats, snack bars and private dock facilities for visitors’ boats.

TABLE ROCK LAKE Accessible from multiple public and privately owned locations just minutes west of Branson, Table Rock Lake has been delighting visitors and residents alike since it was formed by the damming of the White River in 1959. While visitors can find dozens of places to stay and play along the banks of Table Rock Lake, the area’s commercial developments have placed

a high priority on preserving the scenic beauty of the Ozarks’ natural shoreline, bluffs, forests and wildlife.

FISHING TABLE ROCK LAKE Missouri’s deepest (200 feet) and clearest reservoir, Table Rock is nationally recognized as a top bass fishing lake. Large numbers of largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky spotted bass and white bass thrive in its diverse underwater structure and immense forage base. Bass, crappie and large bluegill are caught in abundance.

Catfish of all sizes also roam the bottom of the lake.

Many area resorts and marinas can connect you with an experienced fishing guide, and there are hundreds of national, regional and local tournaments held throughout the year.

TABLE ROCK LAKE FACTS • 43,000 to 52,300 acres of surface area (depending on the water level) • 857 miles of shoreline • Table Rock Dam was completed in 1959.

• The dam is 6,423 ft. long and 252 ft. high.

lake. The cold, clear water, stocked annually with approximately 750,000 rainbow trout, makes Lake Taneycomo a world-class trout fishery.

LAKES LAKE TANEYCOMO Accessible from many points, including downtown Branson, Rockaway Beach, Forsyth, Powersite, Hollister and the Fall Creek area, Lake Taneycomo was formed with the completion of Powersite Dam in 1913. Originally a section of the White River, Taneycomo is now technically a lake, yet retains the look and feel of a river.

When Table Rock Dam was completed at Taneycomo’s headwaters in 1959, the nature of the lake changed. Taneycomo’s water now comes from the bottom of Table Rock Lake, making it a cold water

TA B L E R O C K L A K E

Resorts and full-service public marinas offer canoeing, kayaking, fishing boats, motorboats, guides, tackle and pontoons for relaxing and fun-filled lake activities.

FISHING LAKE TANEYCOMO The uppermost portion of the lake is reserved for artificial lures only, such as tiny jigs and crankbaits. These headwaters are also ideal for fly fishing with flies that imitate the freshwater shrimp and other natural bait that trout feed upon.

The locals say the best way to catch trout is by drifting salmon eggs or angleworms.

Affix the eggs or worms to a small hook and cast into holes with an ultra light rod and reel. This method used from a drifting boat or dock will yield a nice stringer.

Lower Lake Taneycomo harbors a wellkept secret. The downstream area closer to Forsyth offers considerably warmer water and many other species of fish, making Taneycomo a versatile and challenging destination for anglers who are aware of its changing character from one end to the other. Fishing guides are

LAKE TANEYCOMO FACTS • 2,000+ acres of surface area • 40+ miles of shoreline • 58 degrees - average water temperature • 750,000 + rainbow and brown trout stocked annually FISHING LICENSES A fishing license is required to fish in the state of Missouri. Residents under 16 and over 65 are not required to have a basic fishing license, and daily fishing permits are available. Military serving in the armed forces of the United States, and all former members of the United States armed forces and their immediate families stationed and residing in Missouri, may receive resident permit privileges.

Initially, these grapes were used for juice and jelly. Their Branson winery opened in 2017. Here, you’ll find live music, a gourmet restaurant, award-winning wines, juices, specialty foods and gifts. Enjoy a complimentary tasting before purchasing wine, cider, or beer.

B R A N S O N H OT E L

A MARVELOUS BEGINNING For more than 100 years, the Branson/ Lakes Area has been attracting visitors to the Ozarks, lured by natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities. The first family attraction to draw visitors was Marvel Cave (beneath the property where Silver Dollar City theme park is currently located). First called Marble Cave because its limestone walls were thought to be marble, the cave was described by geologists in the 1860s and explored in the 1880s by adventurers who lowered themselves on ropes 200 feet into the main chamber.

Scientific American magazine described the cave in 1885, and word of the natural wonder spread throughout the continent.

Canadian mining expert William Henry Lynch read of the cave, purchased it sight unseen, traveled to the Ozarks and, with his two daughters, opened the cave for public tours in 1894.

On the advice of his physician, minister Harold Bell Wright traveled from his home in Kansas to the Ozarks in 1898 to seek a more suitable climate for his health. He stayed at the homestead of John and Anna Ross, whom Wright

later immortalized as the characters Old Matt and Aunt Mollie in his bestselling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.”

Published in 1907, the book told the story of the self-reliant and stoic hill people he encountered in the area and of the wooded valleys, the mountain “balds” and the incredible cave he had seen.

The book was a huge success. Millions of copies were sold in several languages, and four movies were filmed, including a 1941 version starring John Wayne, his first Technicolor film. Wright’s novel has become the fourth most widely read book in publishing history. Following the publication of “The Shepherd of the Hills,” local residents began noticing a great influx of visitors. Many came to the Ross homestead. The Rosses eventually sold their homestead to Miss Lizzie McDaniel of Springfield, who began presenting the very first dramatization of Wright’s story, right on the front lawn.

When Ozark Beach Dam (also called Powersite Dam) was built in 1913 near Forsyth, and Lake Taneycomo was created, the area became quite a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who came to fish, boat, swim, hunt and enjoy the rugged beauty of the Ozark Mountains. Travelers flocked to the Ozarks on the newly built White River Line railroad that stopped in the neighboring town of Hollister.

TV SHOWS & HYDROELECTRIC POWER The area first gained national prominence in the entertainment industry in 1954 when Red Foley, a legendary country singer with 38 top-ten hits, moved to Springfield, Missouri, from Nashville, Tennessee, to host “Ozark Jubilee,” one of the first successful network television shows from our area.

In 1959, the area was changed forever with the completion of Table Rock Dam. This brought much-needed power to the area, spurring the growth of many area businesses. Until 1959, Rockaway Beach, located just a few miles east of Branson on the banks of Lake Taneycomo, had long been a playground for America’s rich and famous with movie stars and U.S.

SILVER DOLLAR CITY In 1960, the long-term plans of Hugo and Mary Herschend came to fruition with the opening of a small, old-time Ozarks village attraction atop the long-popular Marvel Cave, about 10 miles west of Branson on Hwy. 76. They called it Silver Dollar City, and it offered an 1880s steam train ride, demonstrating craftsmen, themed shops and music. The first year, it drew 125,000 people. Following Hugo’s death, Mary and her sons Jack and Peter continued to direct the growth of the family business, and by 1963, Silver Dollar City was Missouri’s top tourist attraction.

In 1967, Silver Dollar City received national exposure when the “Beverly Hillbillies” TV show filmed five episodes at the Branson theme park.

SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS

BALDKNOBBERS JAMBOREE In 1959, Mabe brothers Bob, Bill, Lyle and Jim began performing twice a week in a converted roller skating rink on the Lake Taneycomo waterfront in downtown Branson. The brothers combined popular country tunes with Ozark Mountain music and threw in a dash of comedy to entertain audiences. In 1969, the Baldknobbers, as the brothers called themselves, built a theater on Highway 76, making their act the longest continuously running show.

BALDKNOBBERS JAMBOREE

presidents among those who retreated to the small resort community.

Construction of a dam created Table Rock Lake, nationally renowned for bass fishing and water sports. In addition, the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock Lake that was now flowing into Lake Taneycomo changed it into one of the country’s most popular trout fly-fishing lakes.

SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS HOMESTEAD & OUTDOOR DRAMA A few miles east of Silver Dollar City, Dr. Bruce Trimble and his wife Mary, began staging an outdoor pageant in 1959 based on the best-selling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” The amphitheater was located on the site where author Harold Bell Wright’s characters lived. Under the direction of Mary, with her son Mark, it grew into one of the nation’s most popular outdoor historical dramas. In 1985, Gary Snadon, teacher and former cast member, purchased the homestead. The tradition continues with Jeff Johnson, grandson of one of the original performers, who took ownership in 2017.

The company later expanded to include other popular Branson attractions: White Water water park and the Showboat Branson Belle. Today, Silver Dollar City has grown into a multi-million dollar entertainment complex. The park also hosts six festivals each year. In 1998, Silver Dollar City was given the Applause Award by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions as the top theme park in the world. The family-owned company, Herschend Family Entertainment, currently owns, operates or partners in 21 properties in nine states.

In 2004, Jack and Peter Herschend were inducted into the Hall of Fame of the amusement industry’s largest organization worldwide, the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.

PRESLEYS’ COUNTRY JUBILEE In 1963, the Presley family began a music show at The Underground Theater near Talking Rocks Cavern with special guests from “Ozark Jubilee,” including Red Foley.

They made history in 1967 when they built the first music theater on Hwy. 76. Today, Presleys’ Country Jubilee stars three generations of Presley family members including two original members of the show: Gary and Steve Presley, Lloyd and Bessie’s sons. Together with other family and cast members, each night they perform a variety of music on a wide range of instruments and a much loved array of comedy skits.
