The old Ferris wheel got some upgrades, including a new LED lighting system.Ā The facelift cost $4 million and it is now a permanent attraction in the park. (MORE HERE)
Isn’t Branson where old country stars go to retire? My uncle Jack lived there for a few years and he said it felt as if it’s where you go at the end of life and he wasn’t ready for that yet so he moved away. Also wondering if ‘Bransoners’ (?) pay $8 for rides or if they get a hand me down discount? I guess it’s better it get used than be destroyed. Though I feel like it’s a puppy that your parents told you “had to go live on a farm where it could roam (or in the case roll) free” ROLL FREE OLD NAVY PIER WHEEL. Roll free. – @marconibologna
