This
season Old Tucson Studios has beefed-up its entertainment offerings
with the introduction of six new attractions including three live
shows, trail rides and a western-history educational program
focusing on Arizona's pioneers including Native Americans.
Old Tucson Studios has also joined with
Budweiser for an all-new entertainment series with dance-parties and
concerts featuring top-name national acts. The concert season
includes Eddie Money on July 31 and Kenny Chesney on August 24.
Three years have passed since the fire made
Old Tucson Studios a national news story. Now that the park has been
re-opened more than a year, the challenge is to continue offering
new entertainment mixed in with a taste of the Old West. If the
recent flood of positive guest comments are any indication, Old
Tucson Studios appears to be in a strong position to meet that
challenge.
