According to the report, Silver Dollar City in Branson is one of the top amusement parks in the U.S. Nestled in the Ozark Mountains, the park offers thrills and fun for the whole family, whether you're looking for easy rides and lazy river to heart-pounding coasters that will take your breath away.
