Some additional installation photos of Christmas in Midtown
http://www.midwestinfoguide.com/2017/10/christmas-in-midtown-installation-sdc_20.html

There's no excuse for people who "can't" find Midtown during Christmas.  We may have to wear shades to walk through there.

I just about think those entrance trusses could stay and be decorated for other times of the year, as well.  They may be the secret to getting people into that area.

Shhh!  That's the nice, old fashioned, quiet area of the park!  Keep it a secret!

Not any more - at least not in November and December.

^^^^And for the record, that's how to use the quote feature.

Unless you want a thrill ride plopped down in there you better hope the foot traffic increases the rest of the year.  JS

Some preview photos of the area all light up.  I cannot wait to see this in person.

WOW!!.   and thats just a taste of what we will see.

Very cool. This is exactly what they needed to kick the lights up a notch to stay on top of all the new competition. Photos never do lights justice, but this looks great already!

Now they need to upgrade the main tree again.

Can't wait to see it in person.  We're going on the 11th where we'll probably be lucky just to find parking!!

.  Absolutely...  new songs, new lights, new patterns...

I really think Six Flags did a pretty awesome job with their tree.

Like that tree, thanks.   The patterns are nice..

SDC redid the tree at the wrong time. The technology they rebuilt it with was kinda old then and wasn't all that impressive, and just a few years later it we were already calling for them to re-do it again. Didn't help that they slashed the budget for it at the last minute, or so the rumors at the time said.

It's just completely outclassed now, and the Christmas competition is fierce, so I'm sure it is on the schedule somewhere - maybe even next year...

They just need to call Michael Haygood and let him "handle" it..  His work with LED lights and programming is 1st class.. and is World Class..

He already has done and maintains the Ferris Wheel, The mountain coaster on 165, And Bigfoot on the strip.

[shavethewhales]

He did this version of the tree too, if I recall correctly. He's literally done everything with lights in Branson. I'm not sure if there's even anyone else to call.
