Those are some nice pictures of the park, sucks that the TeePee is being torn down. Those new lockers suck too. Looks like the upcoming season will have a lot of changes. Prospertown Lake sure is pretty, one good thing of living south of GAdv is I get to drive past the lake every time I go to and come home from the park.

Hey awesome pictures of the park for all of us to see. Looks like the tour was a great time by all who were there. The park definately looks like it will have some serious changes in time for our arrival on opening day, both good and bad ones. Thanks for sharing the general experience with all of us who were not fortunate enough to go through this venture.

 

P.S. Harry isn't gonna go and kill you now is he? lol
