I know this is off topic, but not that Tiny is alive again, I'd love to see a fancy fountain in that spot. Something decent sized that might require the removal of the tree.

I'm not suggesting they do it, or even think it'd be a good financial investment, but it's something I always wanted to see there.

Going off that, the park should really invest in replacing the concrete "vases" on top of the Hometown Square and Orleans Place entrances as well. The only thing I notice on them are the broken parts. Also, some letters on the bricks are broken as well.

Sporlo wrote:^ My guess:
1) why bother? Too much effort.
2) By not messing with the entrance/pool/carrousel area, you preserve the integrity of the area's open, welcoming, very clean atmosphere. Sticking in a bunch of noisy games with plush toys everywhere would just be out of place.

3) The best place for the waterpark entrance would really be the very farthest place from the main entrance. It's not JUST about the games, but it's about exposing your guests to the whole drypark experience before they make it to the waterpark: games, rides, food, extra-charge rides, misc. activities and other shops.


Concerning the entrance, I've always wondered why the didn't build a HH entrance outside the park for guests who wanted to start out there right away, sparing some traffic at the main entrance.

^ You kinda answered your own question on the previous page.

It's a business strategy where children will see all the games and such and beg their parents if they can play later. Therefore, money is attracted to the games department.
