The Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson, Missouri is blasting into 2025. I was there last week to check out what’s new at the park and to get another look at the construction site of the new Silver Dollar City Resort hotel. The 262-room resort is currently under construction just down the street from the theme park. It’s part of a $500 million investment Silver Dollar City is making to expand the theme park and its offerings.
