Magenta Lizard Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 That's a good catch! "The façade of the Family Care Center features the unique style of a Fischer Home with a covered porch while the inside offers all the comforts of home including restrooms, electrical outlets, charging stations, Wi-Fi services, televisions, refrigeration and ice, and hot water. Available at no additional charge." Free outlets and charging stations? This is going to be very popular Curious where exactly it is/will be. It just said on International Street near the tower, but I can't think exactly where it would fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'd assume it would be in place of the old Baby Care Center, across from a certain chicken restaurant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yeah, that would make sense. I didn't think of it because I don't consider that area still International Street. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I also saw there was a Lost and Found form on the site that I hadn't seen previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I wonder what happens to the facade when the Fischer Homes sponsorship comes to an end? If the end of the BMW license is any indication, we'll end up with a cream-colored, vaguely-house-shaped blob with its doors, windows, and mirrors gone. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 When reading, my first thought was at Tower Gardens, but I've not seen construction one going on in The Forbidden Zone. This is a great improvement. Any patron that had with them a passle of kids wil be grateful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It's likely in the same place it's always been. It wouldn't make sense to have two of those so close to one another. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'd assume it would be in place of the old Baby Care Center, across from a certain chicken restaurant. Based on the way that path is, you'd be correct. They certainly wouldn't put it on Coney by Vortex, completely away from the kids area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEARSOMERIDER Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere, when browsing the KI website under 100 reason, then entertainment, there is a Dog Show mentioned,a acrobatic show called Oracle (I think), along with the Hollywood Musical review and some other shows from last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes. And it's "revue" . NOT "review".The only people that are making reviews are usually found on this website in some fashion. This Family Care Center, I'm pretty sure will take over the old, brandless location. Having the extra money maybe helped pay for some extra amenities that weren't available in the baby care area. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I loved the baby care center the last couple of years. With a toddler in tow it's nice to have a ACd place (since we don't have many trees cough cough) to sit and let him cool down. Also they had a microphone and changing tables/family rest rooms. I know recently I have become a sort of old man cranky on here about some things but the children's area and this area in particular are out of the world great. Don if you read one post from me all year the crew that have been in the baby/family center and the crews running the littlest of the rides have been outstanding. It's the reason we keep getting passes. Our little guy is too small for anything outside of the kids area. Your crew there honestly makes it one of the best days. Now back to complaining about trees, smoking areas, and trams....lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes. And it's "revue" . NOT "review".For some of our non-French speakers on here "Revue" is French for "Review". As trademarks go, be precise, but really it's just some French mixed in with English that means literally what it sounds like. Anyways off my French Soap Box, I honestly believe this could be a cool location. A nice facade, maybe a few small bushes and flowers, it will serve as a great advertisement for Fischer Home. As well, a great family meet up point, as to meet "back at the house" is already common family lingo. My only question is how it will be run, as I could see this area getting crowded, quickly. To have a limit on guests or to have an expansive area? Also, I wonder how well it could be the lost kids area as it might not be this location as if it is to be mainly a family relaxation point, the dual role of being a lost children's area seems a bit much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take in a good amount of Planet Snoopy from where I stand, which is important when there is more than one kid. And yes, my desire for Tower Gardens to be grand again clouded my judgement on the location of the New Lost Parents. Of course it would be where the parent would likley to get lost. (I just see that blank area by the Eiffel Tower and wish otherwise.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! But looking into is it seems the English usage of revue means literally the kind of shows with a variety or series of short sketches be it songs, skits, stories. Whereas the French revue is literally review, having the same definition of review. So I will continue to advocate for revue usage 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
