BIGFOOT FUN PARK The fi rst family entertainment complex completely themed around Sasquatch features one-of-a-kind indoor and outdoor activities, including a Bigfoot-decorated arcade, incredible 8D interactive experience and a Bigfoot-themed miniature golf course. The Bigfoot Action Tower, the highest point in Branson, features two daring rides that were the fi rst of their kind: Gravity Bomb and SuperSling. Gravity Bomb drops riders from 200 feet using a state-of-the-art magnetic braking system; SuperSling launches riders high into the air, where they then tumble end over end as they descend. For a thrill of a diff erent kind, Bigfoot Farms is the only place where guests can join a Bigfoot research team on safari trucks to search for "activity" during a family-friendly Bigfoot Discovery Expedition. LEGENDS IN CONCERT The leaves are falling, autumn is calling, and we've got a new lineup you're sure to "fall" for! It's been over 10 years since Sir Elton John was on our stage, so we were excited to have Stephen Sorrentino here performing the soul-infl ected rock ballads that put him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Wynonna (Kathy Shelby) also joins the cast bringing her bluesy, rock style of country vocals, along with the sultry bass-baritone voice of Jourdan Carroll as Barry White. Add in the comedy and energy of Clint Nievar and Danny Zeligman as The Blues Brothers™ and the incomparable Ryan Pelton as "The King of Rock N' Roll," Elvis, and it's a fabulous fall cast! Legends in Concert 3p.m. and 8 p.m. shows at Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater. BRANSONBULLETIN BRANSONBULLETIN CHATEAU ON THE LAKE Looking for a great spa getaway? Head to the beautiful AAA Four- Diamond Chateau on the Lake Resort & Spa and take advantage of the "Spa Chateau Be Pampered Package." The resort is the perfect place to relax, be pampered, have fun, and unwind. In addition to featuring a magnifi cent lakefront and mountaintop setting, Spa Chateau, one of the Midwest's fi nest spas, is convenient to the many popular Branson attractions and live shows. C hristine Severin was impressed by The Hughes Music Show. "I don't know how that much talent fi ts in one family," the 50-year-old Omaha resident said. "They're a really talented bunch of kids." Christina, her 19-year-old daughter, agreed. "I love that there are all diff erent ages," she explained. "I love the variety of songs and dance. So many surprises." After more than 24 years of performing on stage in Branson, the Hughes Brothers are still going strong. "Our show has always been a standout," Jason Hughes explained. "Our show is for families and done by families, but we are a family show on steroids." Jason, the second oldest Hughes Brother, directs the show, sings, dances and works the crowd with family-friendly comedy. He loves his super-sized 40- plus member show family, and their new 2018 variety spectacular. "I really love the show," Jason said. "The kids are better than ever. There are so many standout moments." The show brings together soaring vocals, astonishing musical arraignments, show stopping dance numbers and multi-layered instrumentals. "It's a huge variety of everything," Jason explained. "We perform Broadway and doo-wop, rock and gospel, hip-hop and country. It's truly a variety show." The show opens with The Greatest Show from the movie The Greatest Showman. It moves on to high energy dance numbers, slows down for a medley of moving love songs, drops in a rockin' Queen number, tosses in a country tribute and moves on to a STOMP-like percussion routine complete with six fi ddling Hughes kids. And, that's before intermission. Jason called the show an "eclectic collection." "There are so many new elements in the show," Jason said. "It's a huge variety show. Broadway to doo-wop and everything in between. Come see it. You will be surprised."
