Rhythm and dance artistry stomps to the stage as Silver Dollar City presents the Swedish Supergroup JEERK in their first U.S. performance, all part of the theme park’s summer-long festival, KidsFest, June 6 – August 9. The park’s biggest show year ever features kid-favorite entertainment productions including the Magic of Peter Gossamer and an original live stage show from VeggieTales, plus Kid Concoctions and roller coasters soaring through the trees.
A phenomenon in Europe, JEERK is five spectacular performers who use their percussion skills, rhythmic body movements and an array of novelty props to drum, dance and crash their way through this one-of-a-kind stage show. “Kids love action, and JEERK presents an energetic and outrageous combination of dance, percussion, music and acrobatics, all in flawless precision,” said Brad Schroeder, Silver Dollar City’s Director of Special Events.
Additional featured shows include The Magic of Peter Gossamer with tricks, levitations, vanishings and comedy from the master illusionist, and an original VeggieTales live stage show, “The Invention of Silliness,” starring America’s favorite talking vegetables in a musical adventure created exclusively for Silver Dollar City. Hands-on activity is the focus at the Kid Concoctions Activity Center, where kids can make their own creations from the acclaimed Kid Concoctions books and television show.
Thirty themed rides and attractions offer thrills and adventure, with high-speed coasters such as the explosive-launch coaster PowderKeg, named the Best Family Thrill Coaster on the Planet by Thrillride.com; the multi-looping coaster WildFire, the 7-story super-swooping Giant Swing, and mega-splashing rides like the American Plunge and the Lost River raft ride.
For real ride fans, the park presents Moonlight Madness featuring nighttime fun July 27 – August 9, with rides running until 10 p.m. for summer night thrills.
Tour Schedule Includes 43 Show Dates

Neal McCoy’s show opened on June 16 and runs through November 1 on selected dates. Yakov says, “Neal McCoy and I are a great team because Neal McCoy has three platinum albums and I have four…Celine Dion’s, Cher’s, Garth Brooks’, and Frank Sinatra’s. Just like those entertainers, Neal’s show is more then a concert, it’s more then country music, it’s a high energy entertainment experience packed with a variety of musical styles and it’s dynamite fun!”
Neal McCoy says, “I like to entertain and have a great time with the folks. Here in Branson people know how to have a good time! So that’s what we’re planning on doing and you gotta love that.”
Neal McCoy, known for his fast-moving shows and fun music has received Entertainer of the Year two times and other exciting accolades including five #1 singles, five top 10 hits, 1 Gold album, and many, many others. His hits include Wink, The Shake, No Doubt About It, You Gotta Love That, They’re Playing Out Song, Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On, The City Put The Country Back In Me, Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye, If I Was A Drinking Man and more. Along with over 13 USO Tours, Neal has traveled around the world bringing his signature brand of entertainment to the fans.
Neal McCoy, who was named Humanitarian of the Year by multiple organizations, is using his first eight shows in Branson to raise money for local charities including Make-A-Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, The American Heart Association, and The American Red Cross. Each charity will have a benefit night at Yakov’s Theatre. The first four shows in June also include special performances from Yakov. Neal says, “I just do what I can to help.

Bambi, Princess of Magic, premiered her new show June 8th, with a reception and award ceremony receiving the title as International Female Magician of the Decade.
To have both a prince and a princess among its vast constellation of entertainment stars, Branson is without question regally charmed. Look only to the House of VanBurch to find such a royal line holding the keys to the kingdom of magic. And now, adding to the array of offerings of shows designed to defy the senses is “Bambi: The Princess of Magic” presented at the Music City Centre most afternoons.
Bambi VanBurch is the dancer and magician’s assistant-turned-producer and co-starring illusionist to master magician and headlining husband Kirby VanBurch. “Having my own show now, people wonder if we’re still together!” Bambi says, quickly affirming a marriage that began with love at first sight and flourishes today as it did from the beginning. “Only now I’m doing double duty with my own show as well as the Kirby/Bambi show.”
Indeed, “Princess” Bambi, three time named International Magician of the Year for 2007, 2008, and 2009, and was recently recognized as one of the region’s ten most beautiful women in 417 Magazine, summons never-seen-before illusions to leave her subjects spellbound and wondering, “How did she do that?”
“That’s the question I get asked the most,” Bambi says. “‘Tell me how it’s done,’ they always say to me. And it’s true, people want to be tricked; they want to know that it’s real!”
And like the disbelief the audience finds itself suspending, Bambi levitates during the performance, even descending weightlessly on balloons at the very beginning of the show. Her face appears as big as the stage itself, replacing the sight of the gold lead cherubim on the act curtain and readying her audience for the fantasy ride that will fill their senses for the following two hours. Floating in clouds, and sharing her magical dreams, the princess descends on a dime, her feet materializing on terra firma, also known as the Music City Centre stage. And the show has just begun.
Used to the massive illusions that she and her husband employ at the Kirby VanBurch Theater, Bambi’s eye for production and proportion envisioned a different style of magic for the more intimate Music City Centre venue. “I’m petite, so I wanted a show that a closer-up audience could feel more a part of.” This down-sized setting, she says, is particularly well suited for Branson’s summer crowds which are usually rich in children. But nothing is lost in terms of a big show feeling, or one that is uniquely designed by Bambi herself. A lover of animals, Bambi parades ducks and chickens onto the stage as part of her act, and one lucky duck gets shot from a cannon. Unharmed, of course, she hastens to point out.
Bambi’s menagerie is also replete with other beasts including a mind-reading kangaroo. Say no more. The joey will figure it out.
The show also features an illusion better seen than read about, where a young lady has her head pushed down into her body and her arms pulled out. Unharmed, of course, Bambi again hastens to point out. And then there’s Tinkerbell, the fairy from Cathy Rigby’s Peter Pan run at The Mansion, who flits over to the Music City Center to help Bambi levitate.
Smoke and mirrors? “Sure,” she says, “it’s all part of a great show.” But then again, it’s magic — the stuff that Bambi VanBurch says makes grown-ups feel like kids again, and kids feel like — “like all of their dreams can come true.” Maybe even the dream of some day becoming a prince or a princess.
The NEW Grand Country Fun Spot features the Indoor White River, black light mini-golf course in 3D. This interactive course will take you into the through the sights and sounds of the old river towns. Experience riverboats, fishing and kids in overalls painting fences just like back in the days. State of the art computer generated special effects and animations, makes this a “You have to see it to believe it.”
“Grand Country has always been a fun place to visit and we are very excited to have the Fun Spot as our newest attraction! It has something for everyone and for all ages,” said Glenn Robinson, Grand Country owner.
In addition to the 3D black light mini-golf course, Fun Spot’s video arcade game facility has the most popular video and fun arcade games for every age group, from Guitar Hero to Big Bass Wheel, which features a 1,000 ticket jackpot. Fun Spot has all the latest arcade attractions including a state of the art prize redemption center with prizes ranging from glitter rings to Nintendo Wii.
Fun Spot also features Comfyland, the perfect place for toddlers. This unique attraction has a wide range of interactive features to appeal to toddlers at every developmental stage. The Senses, Music and Cognitive Corners will enable children to to develop new learning skills and build self-confidence through fun play.
Fun Spot is enjoyable for the whole family. Everyone will have fun with the two-story interactive Ballocity play feature, Mini Bowling, and the interactive Laser Maze.
