This blows!

OzCat is one of the few GCI's that kick ass. It will be hard to go back to Branson without it. Hopefully the Cat will live on. :-/

That is a shame.  You would have to think with the comments made in that article that OzCat will somehow continue operating.  They are looking towards other uses for the land including the possibility of re-themeing the current park.  So there is still hope.

I honestly don't get why the place couldn't sustain itself. The night life in Branson is "happening". There are tons of other attractions that are serve the masses at night after everyone has been at Silver Dollar City and/or White Water all day. A huge component of SDC's demographic is the senior citizen crowd, which wouldn't have much interest in CC since it lacks the artsy/craftsy appeal that SDC has, but still. How do all of the other attractions flourish?
