Let the Celebration Begin

Branson, Missouri, the place that's a little bit country and a little bit roller coaster, recently welcomed a new theme park called Celebration City. Well, it's not new, exactly. On the site of the former Branson USA, the park features the Ozark Wildcat wooden coaster and other rides and shows themed to different eras of 20th Century America. Run by the same folks that operate Branson's Silver Dollar City and White Water, the park is open late to encourage nighttime visits and supplement, rather than detract from, the other venues.
