BRANSON, Mo. — Standing in line at Silver Dollar City, waiting to see its biggest show, the dazzling “Coming Home for Christmas,” I overheard two people talking behind me.
“I wonder if the rides are even open” during the theme park’s Old Time Christmas celebrations, they said.
“Oh, they are,” I told them. “We’ve been riding for two hours, and my kids just ditched me to ride more.” A musical didn’t interest my adventure-loving teens.
