> Sounds like Johnny has been hiring some incompetents to run the show.

Johnny runs the show, everything has to run up to him for final approval. He's the worst kind of micromanager who demands final approval then drags his feet until the last possible moment before making a decision. This leaves his employees scrambling to try to execute his "vision" on extremely short deadlines. While there are surely incompetent folks at base camp, even the smartest most hard-working individuals would have a hard time succeeding in that kind of environment.

Hmm, they did reduce the capacity:

>The expansion of Thunder Ridge, increasing capacity from 10,000 to approximately 50,000, is the latest in Big Cedar Lodge’s proud tradition of hosting world-class hospitality and entertainment experiences that span a variety of recreational markets. These enhancements – which have been done without any tax dollars – will more than double the previous seating capacity, without sacrificing the venue’s stunning nature-based charm. It provides another grandiose outdoor venue for a resort that hosts 7 million guests per year, and a Branson community that attracts 10 million visitors every year. July 2022
