I would have loved to see a bear at a park. I think they are so awesome, especially the little cubs. I like watching the ones in the Safari at SFGAdv.

And I thought that the deer grazing under the coasters at Holiday World were something!

"Bear with us. We'll open at Noon."

That was under the Lakeside sign in front of the park.

I agree if it was under the Great Bear that would be one major laugh! "Mom theres a bear!. Joe, they don't call it the Great Bear for nothing!" Hehe.

supposedly this happens all the time if they have a sign already made for an occasion like this.
