BRANSON, Missouri – Silver Dollar City has been named as one of the Top 5 Amusement Parks in the country, according to the national USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
The 1880s-style theme park was chosen as a nominee by a panel of amusement and theme park experts consisting of USA Today editors, 10Best.com editors and additional contributors from around the country. In addition to this award, the park’s 2015 Guinness World Record-holding wooden roller coaster, Outlaw Run, is ranked in the Top 10 Best Roller Coaster poll from the media company.
The new, original production Reuben’s Swashbuckling Adventure and new fall nighttime experience Pumpkin Nights joined over 40 additional rides and attractions, more than 100 demonstrating craftsmen and award-winning food at the park.
“Being selected for this poll by the experts and editors at USA TODAY already establishes us as a premier, global destination for families, but winning a Top 5 spot solidifies the quality and scope of experiences we offer to our guests,” said Silver Dollar City President Brad Thomas.
Silver Dollar City placed fourth in this competitive poll among some of the biggest parks in the industry, including Cedar Point, Busch Gardens and Disney’s Magic Kingdom.
Silver Dollar City is currently presenting the Star-Spangled Summer festival, running through July 21, with the park open daily.
