Creative Ink Architects LLC is the architect for Silver Saddle Productions Inc.’s Great American Wild West Coliseum in Branson. Engineers for the project are Meridian Structural Works, structural; Smith-Goth Engineers Inc., mechanical, electrical and plumbing; and Rozell Engineers, civil. With an estimated cost of $10 million, the 65,000-square-foot structure will have 2,000 seats and a dirt-floor arena to showcase the Great American Wild West Show, a western-themed family show. There will be private skyboxes available and a five-star steakhouse with arena-floor views. The project’s design evokes the great horse and cattle coliseums once prevalent in railroad centers, such as Kansas City, Denver and Austin, Texas. Completion is scheduled for summer 2008.
