My 8 year old has been sold on this park since he first hear about it. My 5 year old daughter...well...not so much. After watching the virtual tour with the park GM that was posted on the Orlando Sentinel last week she is now as exited as he is. If they want to know how their target audience if feeling about the park...that should give them an idea that they are pushing all the right buttons.

I don't think I've ever heard a CEO being quoted "Moan and b----" before!

The title of this struck me as funny. Isn't it the CEO's job to be enthusiastic about thier product? It's not like they're going to go around saying, "Eh, it's ok. I guess."

It wasn't my intention to criticize you Jeff. I'm sorry if it came out that way. I figured it was a quote from the article, that I must admit, I did not read.
