       Aquatica Sand Diego -> Sesame Place San Diego. So the my Gilory
       Gardens idea is useless now.

       I saw it as a bit too much of a dream in the first place. This
       is an OK idea but From what I can see the waterpark is not
       getting down graded they are simply Shoehorning in a Sesame
       Street and a few rides.  Not all that impressive compared to the
       Sesame addition at Sea world.  Not sure if this is really going
       to help the park get more attetnionthen Lego land/ater park and
       other competign parks.

       Dutch Wonderland and the original seem to do very well, but the
       Legoland might drag NYC, New Englanders, and Canadians away.
       Also, it is very close to the Mexico border, so you have an
       untapped market with the Sesame brand (Monterrey has one based
       around the Latin American production, but that's on the other
       coast).

       I get that it's close to Mexico but I doubt they will be seeing
       a lot of Tourism from there. Weatehr or not they are goign to
       draw tourists still doesn't change the fact it's not as
       impressive as the other sesame options and if those tourists are
       coming in they still have Legoland as an option.

       Legoland is another hour north. I do wonder what it means for
       Bay of Play at the San Diego park-the area of it is roughly
       500x200 if that matters.

       Maybe I'm assuming too much but I would think if you live in
       Mexico and have enough money to do a big vacation you likely
       don't live in a border town.  With that, I figure tourists would
       be flying in not driving and therefore the hour distance means
       very little.
       also, your putting up a good sized water park with a Small
       themed section dry park against a separate themed watepark and a
       separate themed dry park.

       There was a period at the original between 1988 with the
       original Neighborhood area and 1998 with Vapor Trail at the
       original where they only added water rides, with The Count's
       Splash Castle being the only wet addition since.

       The fact the PA location is more water park then park and has
       very little to offer for its price is one of the biggest
       complaints I have heard about the park. you figure they would
       learn from their mistakes when making a second one. The lego
       lands seem to be getting better and more unique. Sesame Place
       seems to be plotting along and milking a well-known property.
       If they had land to build a solid dry park onto the water aprk
       this would be impressive but the handfull of rides its addinga
       re simply thorwn into whatever free space they can find.

       The park is surrounded by mountains on 3 sides and an
       amphitheater on the 4th. Working with the city, they could build
       a parking structure (as should the PA park, or at least a bridge
       like SFNE)

       Bridges are nice but I prefer the Tunnel that Storyland has.
       Maybe they can shift A couple slide towers to the mountainside
       and open up some room for dry park rides.
