Known for operating Silver Dollar City and Dollywood, Herschend Family Entertainment once operated a second destination theme park in Branson only ten minutes away from Silver Dollar City. Celebration City would only operate for five years before being abandoned.
Amusement Anthology returns with Episode 10! In this episode, hear the story of the ambitious second theme park intended to complement Silver Dollar City, themed to the United States in the 20th century. With a spectacular laser/fireworks show and outstanding attractions like the GCI Ozark Wildcat, this was a nightlife park that shouldn't be forgotten.
