We gotta stop with the post sniping. Dis shared photos. We get it. You don't like the park.

Sorry , you won’t hear from me again on this thread. I just think the folks that are endlessly defending this park are a bit blind to reality. My opinion still stands that this park was a financial mistake. I guess we will see.

I get it, but there’s only so many times you can say the same thing without adding anything new or constructive to the convo. That’s the reason for the post.

Wait, are the "folks" me? I posted some photos I enjoyed shooting. And with zero commentary other than to set the scene. The only thing I've endlessly done is post photos of this park during construction and after.

Also, who are the quotes for? I never said "massive success."

If you're not referring to me, cool.

That was 8pm at park close for a regional kids park after a rain storm (which shuts down all rides). Of course it’s going to be pretty empty.

Quite the contrary. I think folks who are on the ground and in the park have a much better grasp at what is going on at the park.

On that note, I have some feedback from my visit tonight. We all know that the last couple hours are the least busy at the park for the day. Normally I roll in at 4:30-5pm for a 7pm close and a few of the attractions are 15-25 mins and then it becomes walk on by end of day (as folks with littles head home for dinner, bed time, etc) . But today everything was a walk on as soon as I walked in. By far the least busy I’ve seen the park since opening.

School started for some of the surrounding districts today. And frisco and most of the rest start tomorrow with a handful starting Thursday. So I knew tonight would be dead (hence why we popped in). I can’t imagine theyll repeat these hours next year and I fully expect a 5pm close instead of 7pm. Next week will be a real challenge and tell tale sign of success as all school will be in session and it’s just going to be 10-5pm M-Thurs.

I could easily see them reducing the schedule this time next year for days of week also if it continues to be what it was tonight. Hopefully it was just an anomaly with school starting.

I know Brian already said something, but just wanted to add a little to it. I truly do appreciate your posts and contributions in the other threads. But please consider a guy like @Diservations and his feelings. He goes to the park often and takes pics as a hobby (I doubt he’s making serious money off it) and shares it with us. It’s simply not cool to use his pics to piggy back onto to dogpile the park. Just a dude giving us updates; and pretty much the only one who covers universal kids. Updates we will appreciate when Halloween and Christmas decorations come around.

Anyways- Just think about how that makes him feel, ya know?

Thanks, Andy. I appreciate the kind words. Luckily, my feelings are good. Now, if I had designed the park...
