^Such a cynic.

It's a teaching tool to teach children know how to pronounce Zulema, since they know it rhymes with creama.

My apologies if the pages are loading slow because there are so many pictures on each page. I want to keep this Photo TR moving along so whether you are enjoying it or hating it, if you want it to load faster post a comment. That way the stops will be spread out on seperate pages.

Lately there have been a lot of PTRs that make people say "I want to go to that park." This will not be one of them. A couple of miles south of Santa's Village is Six Gun City. It was also Customer Appreciation Weekend at Six Gun City, so admission was only $11 versus the usual $22.

Let me just say that this is a park best visited when you can get in for half price. There just isn't enough for me to justify the regular $22 admission price.

From the parking lot, one last shot of my fourth new credit on the trip. For the record, I neglected to show a cool little log flume for kids, because I didn't take a photo. But that's pretty much the whole park.

Looks like a cool little layout for the coaster. My say on Six Gun is nice idea, not enough effort.

The next stop on the tour was about an hour south of Six Gun City. I had heard good things about the detail that went into Story Land in the past and was impressed with the theming I saw at such a small park.

The park has lots for families to do together and even more for kids to do. This includes a very big story book area focusing on nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Many of the fairy tale exhibits include live barnyard animals, which is neat.

Admission to the park was $27, and entering after 3PM gets you a return admission anytime before the end of the 2010 season.

LOL! Totally agree with you. I'm surprised PETA hasn't gotten involved here as that Panda is obviously in some severe distress!
