Creator's Key Takeaways
Up until the day of my retirement, my team and I tried for 15 years to get a Tropical America land into this park, and many such design attempts involved gutting Dino Land to do it.
Anytime an attraction goes down, we take an opportunity to freshen up what we can.
Parks exist to create memories. Dino Land created memories. Those memories still exist, and they are true product, not the property itself.
If you're angry about the project and you're a Joe Roie fan, now you can't complain. That's how it works.
