Well, since there will be no pub, Mark, you go can lay in the lagoon(in your speedo and dickie doo intact) and we'll bring you a frozen margarita from Outer Hanks. We might not be able to try to get it out of that area but we'll do our best. We'll have to follow park rules. If not, I can contact Robert Viands for some of his best hints for smuggles libations into a park. Anything to make a day showing off your speedos and dickie-doo much better.

Ohh...

This reminds me of a story from the 80s while I was still in college. Several of us had gone down to see the Robert Palmer concert (the first of three that I saw at the park-"The Addicted to Love" tour. Trivia. Remember that) at the Paladium.

(I bet Robert Palmer is rolling over in this grave for the sacrireligous use of Addicted to Love for the "Addicted to Lost" commcerial. Maye they should use "I Wanna Be A Cowboy" for Brokeback Mountain. Or change it to "I Wanna Ride a Cowboy" and have Tommy Faircloth sing it.)

"Uncle JimmY" as he was called had to sneak back to his van before the concert for something. He came back into the park higher than a kite. He saw the Frenzoid and had to ride it. He was still flying. Said it was the best trip of his life. He wanted to go back to the car to reload and ride it several more times. But, he didn't get to because the concert was starting soon. Uncle Jimmy grew up to be....maybe I'll save his identity for later.

I won't even mention the scandalous behaviour that took place during the Howard Jones concert that invovled Thunder Road. I'll saveit for the TR thread Or getting the shock of my life during the Tears for Fears concert. It just involves lesbians and I don't go to the Dark Side.

#1- that's gross.. hehe.. that pond was greenish brown last time i saw it
#2- i hope they keep all the change in there.. it would be a great incentive for the kids to dive to the bottom and get it.. hehe.. btw.. how'd they get all that change out of there?
#3 i like the idea of boomerang bay.. they finally did something with all that dead space near the frenzoid instead of making it a very mean dead-end

Of course, the geese will be happy since they removed half the river, and their sundeck(the boat). I imagine if we counted geese in our attendance next year, we could beat PKI and PCW's.
Admissions Head:"Sir, I have good news and bad news."
Management:"What is the good news?"
Admission Head:"Attendance is up 10% for this year upready!"
Management:"And the bad news?"
Admission Head:"The increase isn't people, it is geese."
The Geese:"Honk, honk!"

I took a gander at the BB blueprints today while visiting a friend who has them. They had a separate set of plans for The Pub, a new restroom and a Guest Relations building overhaul. I was kinda in a hurry and didn't look at them for long, but from what I could see on the blueprints, didn't really excite me. I noticed they retained the lagoon over where the Frenzoid was. I could only note one new slide that looked pretty boring.

I am sure it will be a beautiful area once completed.
