Branson,
MO & Pigeon Forge, TN – March 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / National
Enquirer, the crown jewel of America’s supermarket tabloid read by
millions, is coming to Branson, Mo. and Pigeon Forge, Tenn. this summer
in the form of two new, interactive family attractions – National
Enquirer Live.
The
sensational tabloid magazine at the center of some of the most exciting
untold stories of the past 100 years – from O.J. Simpson to John Edwards
to President Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos – will bring its most famous and
controversial stories to life because Enquiring Minds Want to Know!
The
two new National Enquirer Live attractions represent a $25 million
combined investment in Pigeon Forge and Branson and will create more than

National
Enquirer Live will deliver the story behind the story of the tabloid
that created an industry. From being the first on the scene, having the
first news helicopter in the sky, and being the first in the supermarket,
they will continue that history as the first tabloid with an immersive
museum attraction. Visitors of all ages will explore new National Enquirer
exclusives on the stories that changed the course of history. Dive into
the JFK conspiracy, get the scoop on the British Royal Family, explore
the biggest crimes of the past century and experience the life of celebrities
in Hollywood.
Robin
Turner, a partner in FrontPage Attractions, said, “People have shown that
for nearly 100 years, they just can’t get enough of the storytelling in
the National Enquirer - they know what their readers want - and we’re excited
to take those stories off the page and bring them to life.”
Turner
said, “National Enquirer Live in Pigeon Forge will open this May
and the Branson location will open shortly after.”
FrontPage
Attractions includes Turner and partners Bill Sims and Steve Nichols. All
three have long histories in the Orlando, Branson, Pigeon Forge, Myrtle
Beach and Virginia Beach tourism markets. Turner is co-founder of WonderWorks,
an edutainment attraction that operates in Pigeon Forge, Orlando, Panama
City Beach, Myrtle Beach and Syracuse. Turner started his career with Disney
Entertainment. Sims is a former Chairman of the Board of the most prestigious
and largest trade association in the world, the International Association
of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA).
In
Pigeon Forge, the new 20,000-square-foot National Enquirer Live
will be located at 2115 Parkway. The new 30,000-square-foot Branson location
is at 3115 W 76 Country Blvd.
FrontPage
Attractions is currently exploring other possible new attractions and expansions
based on the National Enquirer Live model. Turner says, “It is entirely
conceivable that other major media outlets could be brought to life in
a similar manner. We would welcome these discussions as we continue to
expand our Entertainment company.”
