THE BEST OF BRANSON Not all adventures require the physical experience of a roller coaster or a Ferris wheel. FlyRide, Branson's newest attraction, offers a bird's eye view of more than 20 iconic locations from the comfort of a theater seat. "It is more than a movie," says spokeswoman Tracey Barton. "It's an immersive experience with a four-story-high curved screen, full motion seats that dip, turn and soar and amazing effects that give the guests the feeling of flight." FlyRide is the first of its kind in this part of the country. "This has been an evolution of creative thinking that has allowed us to adopt the latest in technology and combine it with entertainment for 'techno-tainment,'" says Barton. "We want our guests to always have an interactive, immersive experience. Being on the forefront of technology, we are continually developing new concepts like FlyRide. "With the development trends happening in Branson, we felt FlyRide would be a perfect addition to the attraction-based entertainment that has seen significant growth in recent years," she adds. "We will continue to expand in tourist markets that embrace attractions as an entertainment option for their visitors." Up to 40 guests can experience FlyRide at the same time, no virtual reality equipment required. And as they zoom over Yellowstone, the Redwood Forest, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Mount Rushmore and more, technology adds the experience of wind, mists and "other amazing effects," Barton says. With an investment of more than five years and more than $8 million, it seems fair that its developers bill FlyRide as "a world-class attraction." You can experience FlyRide inside Beyond The Lens Family Fun located at 3115 West 76 Country Blvd in Branson. They open daily at 10am and you can reach them by calling 417-337-9333 or visit their website at flyridetickets.com for pricing. There are no age or health restrictions but they do have a 32" height restriction and a 300 pound weight restriction. Take Flight Across America! NEW TIKI BAR AT BRANSON LANDING Andy B's Tiki Bar is now open on the Branson Landing. The tiki-style bar overlooks scenic Lake Taneycomo and offers specialty cocktails alongside a selection of beers, spirits, and non- alcoholic beverages.

Andy B's Tiki Bar is located on the Branson Landing Boardwalk adjacent to Saltgrass Steakhouse and Joe's Crab Shack. It will be open throughout the fall season and in addition to walk-in business, it is available to reserve for private events and celebrations.
