  1. Supposed to be mid 70's by Thursday. Sooo, next weekend should be ok.
  2. Yeah, we're actually having flooding. Also, there are supposed to be snow showers on Sunday. LOL! Snow Showers in Atlanta!
  3. This is actually a great festival. This and the Celtic Festival are always great to attend.
  4. It's actually good to see the Flower Show go back to a park setting. It would be nice to see it moved back to Ault Park.
  5. And I can't remember "It's a Small World After All" every being played inside the Enchanted Voyage.... or anywhere in HB.
  6. And this weekend it was announced that Dubai would not allow a Ladies Israeli tennis pro into the country to compete in the Sony/Erricson WTA Tourney. I'm sorry, why are we wasting so much time on such a backwards country? The sooner this country sinks back into the sand, the better.
  7. Well, I worked for the park for 7 years. I (to this date) maintain that my employment at the park was far superior to both High School and College. The skills and knowledge that I obtained through park sponsored training, travel and contacts last to this day. I remember arguing accounting and business principles with my Accounting and Economics professors in college. And as example, I could site managing an operation that would gross almost a million dollars within a 6 month period. The governor is right in that public education needs reform. Days are simply not the only thing that needs to be looked at. They need to look to what is actually done in schools and allow the teachers to actually teach. The sooner that schools can ditch the Every Child Left Behind program and stop being babysitters, the better. OK .... WooferBear off his morning soapbox.
  8. Tear down what is an absolutely beautiful horse track? Obviously, you've not thought this through.
  9. And yes, I'm still amazed. I never would have thought it would have happened. One thing I've noticed. Advertising for Budweiser products has decreased on television specifically and in general during sporting events. Sponsorship by Anheuser-Busch has been down at various festivals and events around the country. I would expect the Anheuser-Busch name and many of their products to be folded within the next 5 to 10 years. My predictions about customer's remaining loyal to an InBev ownership remain valid. This Bud's Not For You
  10. Those are not images as much as they are nightmares. Disney involvement with the Busch Parks is certainly one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
  11. I would absolutely cry if Disney purchased the Busch parks. After I was done crying, I'm certain I would become violently ill. Interp.... You are so right. Some of us know it. Some of us even lived it. <G>
  12. Not been to Cedar Point since I was in college. But at that time the food at both Kings Island and Cedar Point was pretty amazing. I have been to Knotts and I have been to Carrowinds though, recently. We will agree that Six Flags Over Georgia can not be considered food. Well, other than the BBQ. It's not bad.
  13. The Busch do have the best food over all. I think that it's the only chain that I make certain to have at least one meal in. Six Flags and CF parks have comparable food. (Not exactly stellar on any realm of the imagination.) The only Disney parks that I find to have decent food is at Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Dollywood's food has come soooooo far from what it used to be. It's just about at the level that the old Opryland had.
  14. Never had a problem with mosquitos up and until 1990.
  15. No bank or mortgage ever wants to foreclose on any property. Anyone that works in banking will tell you that it's more work for them than if the purchaser ..... actually pays what is owed.
  16. Exactly. I know that Busch Gardens used to run ads in the Tampa/St. Pete area but I've not heard them do that in years. Any idea if Six Flags is doing that in any other markets?
  17. Even still, I was just really really surprised to hear advertisements for the park on the radio. I know that staffing problems can be challenging some times, but I can not believe that there is that much of a need.
  18. Yeah. Goliath is just a perty sight, ain't it! My theory for why there are so many accidents on I-20 near the Six Flags hill.
