    • I believe some of that pink slime is some kind of soap residue, unless we've been experiencing a Ghostbusters II scenario without me noticing.
    • It's one of the air conditioned and less smelly bathrooms.  I'm still salty that they replaced the counters throughout the park that used to be rocks under polyurethane. That was original and something I remembered from when I was a kid. On another note, has anyone ever paid attention to the pink slime that grows in the white sinks?
    • If I recall correctly the name comes from Enchanted Forest Water Safari. The park names themselves may be something else (these trademarks feel like a way to get their foot in the door) and could each end up being a secondary name (aside from St. Louis). I would imagine any new names might follow the existing scheme and come out to Enchanted Michigan's Adventure and Enchanted Worlds of Fun (assuming they also purchase WoF). It is interesting that these trademark applications were filed for the IC 025 class for clothing and merchandise instead of the IC 041 class for Amusement Park Services like park names are. This could be to get a little bit of a head start on making merch. I think the IC 041 trademark application will come closer to when any actual sale is announced. There's been a little speculation online about this potentially being an owner-manager situation where Enchanted Parks simply takes over the management of these parks — especially since most of them are water parks — however I don't see that happening. I think it's possible that these parks could be spun off into their own company if they get flipped. There could be enough traction for them to operated independently. The operating budgets of larger prospective buyers would be about where they are now under Six Flags IMO. Most of the larger operators (Herschend, Merlin Entertainment, Six Flags, and United Parks) either just bought up a bunch of properties or are not doing too well financially. This is another reason why I feel like they could be spun off into their own company. This one is hard for me to find a good answer for. These parks are good enough as small to mid-size regional parks and any downsizing could work against them.  I don't think it would be a good idea to make the water parks be owned independently from the dry parks in these particular situations, but it's clear that this area of guest experience is not particularly Six Flags' forte.
    • Yeah I figured that they’re not necessarily a high value item, but to me they seem like a great piece for any Hanna-Barbera collector. I mean even if it is just the gloves, it’s not too often you see costume pieces from any of the parks show up. 
    • Lol, I don't remember the last time I had skyline in the park and Panda is very seldom. I went by that bathroom a lot while I was taking pictures and looking at Invertigo.
