For those worried about the safety of the ducks, don't. There has never been a accident on the Original Ducks. Unlike Branson they don't go out in a lake. Within seconds they could have that duck on the beach and safe. Also, if you look at the roof of the duck in the video you'll see a red area. That is an emergency exit. It's Velcro and just tears away. The Branson ducks had a solid roof and side curtains blocking exits. Besides the duck never being more than a few seconds from shore on the river once it gets out on Lake Delton the lake is only 8' deep and a duck is over 8' high. If it sank you could just sit in it until a rescue duck showed up.

I guess I must have good luck because I have been on the duck boat tour at least a hundred times in my 50ish years of life & I never had one sink while on it. The two things I do remember that are different from when I was a kid is, the water level, when riding in the river the water was at least 5 or 6 feet higher, maybe more. You can see in this video on the rocks where the dark water lines are. Also there were two employees that worked every duck. One, the driver & the other a standing tour guide that faced the people. The tour guide maybe made a joke or two but that was it, she told more about the Dells & the history of the Ducks. It was great & us kids couldn’t wait to ride the duck boats every time we went up north to our cabin & that was several times a year. This tour is so much more worth going on in the Fall when the leaves are turning colors!!! The people in the comments are right, this driver is annoying as hell!!!! 👍🏻
