This show brought back so many memories. The music was so good. The only drawback is that Mickey can no longer play the piano because part of his left hand is paralyzed. My husband and I visited Gilleys in Pasadena, Texas many years ago

Enjoyed Rock N Roll Royalty this week. Fun Show. Loved Tony Turner's tributes to Bon Jovi, Buddy Holly, and Frankie Valli. Other favorites were Matthew's "American Trilogy" by Elvis Presley, and Alexis's "I Feel the Earth Move" by Carole King. Great value - saw the show for half price since I had been to Awesome 80s show at Americana earlier this season.

This one is fantastic. My wife and I were very impressed with the quality of the meal. It may be the best meal of any dinner show we have had. The show was top notch and included a lot of audience participation which helped to make it more personal. You were left saying “how did he do that” many times throughout the evening.

Clay Cooper Show is a must see when we are in Branson. This show will not disappoint! You can tell that Clay loves what he does. My husband asked one of the singers in his show if Clay was as nice as he seems-she said he was even nicer! He stands out in the hall after show and visits and takes photos with guest until the last one leaves. His wife and two sons are very talented also. Don’t leave Branson without visiting the Clay Cooper Theatre. All shows there are excellent.

The Branson Alpine Mountain Coaster is the first thrill ride of its kind in the Branson area. This family friendly coaster uses the hilly topography of the area to provide the fun and excitement your next visit to Branson needs. The unique aspect of a mountain coaster is that it utilizes the natural terrain to make it go. Instead of building invasive lift towers and massive structural supports, we found a big hill and used it to make our coaster in Branson go! Gravity speeds you down the hill through turns, dips and helixes at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. The total combined rider weight per vehicle cannot exceed 300 pounds. A lone driver must be at least 9 years old and 52″ tall. A passenger must be at least 3 years old and 36″ tall. To ride double, the driver must be at least 16 years old. All participants must watch the 2 minute instructional video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXGiRUl5jfA&feature=youtu.be

Inclusions: All Fees and Taxes, One Single Driver Ticket - Good For Ages 9+ and 52"+ tall
