I appreciate the heads up! The main reason it's on my list is I have a dear friend in St. Louis so most of the reason it's on my must visit list is so I can make her take off work and we trip down there. The park is really just an excuse to spend the day with her. Also honestly I don't drink so... the no alcohol is a selling point! XD Also I'm just a fan of kitsch and plan to stack some other attractions with the trip.
@cfoxga Ooh! Thank you! We'll have to check out that resort!
Branson, which is very near SDC, is a beautiful area. Look into a rental when you go down and stay by the lake. Lots of options from log cabins to your standard hotel room. Cheap when compared to universal too!
