Branson Landing removes Balloon Ride citing costly repairs on international parts
BRANSON, Mo. – If you plan on visiting the Branson Landing this summer, the north side of strip will look different as the tall Balloon Ride near Belk is being removed.
According to the social media post, repairing the Balloon Ride became too costly as most of the parts come from France, so the owners decided to take it down.
The Branson Landing says the north parking lot will remain open as construction takes place, with a walkway between Paula Deen's and the construction fence.
In a social media post, the Landing says there is additional parking behind Paula Deen's with another walkway between Black Oak Grill and Lindwedel Winery.
Commenters shared mixed reactions about the decision to remove the ride. Some supported the decision saying the ride was often broken, while others mentioned they'd miss the vantage point of Branson lit up during the Christmas season.
