A few of Branson East's theme-park operators are in
a tiz because some nose-in-the-airs failed to nominate
their ride for teenage girls for a Best Tourist Trap award, arguing such attractions "dumb down" the visitors' experience. They forget that
High School "Musical" [sic] has beaten them to it in the hinterlands. Besides, the theme-park operators needn't worry for the long term; crowds who could make hits out of such carny draws as
Grease or
Spamalot clearly want to see
anything.
