Berry Farm Trip Report.
After a couple hours at
Knott's, we decided to leave for a bit since the crowds were getting
unbearable, so off to "The Block" we went....
Our first stop was "Lucky Strike Lanes" Bowling Alley.....
Dallas got to go bowling for the first time, but as you can see, he still
thinks he's on the Screamin' Swing!
Elissa gets a strike!
Although
Lucky Strike Lanes was a fairly nice establishment, we have a story which
makes us say:
"DO NOT GO TO LUCKY STRIKE LANES!!!"
Our lane was
right next to where this kid was bowling. At first, we saw the kid
and an adult there. The adult came by, plopped
down some food and a drink, then disappeared, not to be seen again.
After about 20 minutes, we realized, not only is this kid
completely unruly, but he is also unattended by any sort of adult.....
Here he is climbing into the bowling ball machine...
Here he is sitting on the machine...
Here he is stealing Dallas' ball!
Here he is sliding around on the floor....
....So
finally, we felt it was necessary to go say something to someone at the
front desk. What we were told was unbelievable:
"Oh, yeah...that's the manager's son. The manager can see him from
the office, and if he starts doing anything really bad, he will come
out and do something." We explained what he was doing. "Yeah,
well, if it gets worse...come let us know."
So, after
spending $47 on bowling, we didn't realize that "Babysitting the manager's
son was part of the deal." Needless to say,
we will NOT be returning to this establishment.
Next up we stopped by the arcade where Dallas gets friendly with some
Jurassic Park dinos!
At the skate park, it's more important to advertise DVDs than it is to
display the park rules.
After a good couple hours hanging around The Block, it was time to head back to Knott's.
Elissa: "I'd rather be dead than be at Knott's."
Where are the graves for the Original Berry Stand? Or the Missions?
Or the Soap Box Racers? Or the good park operations?
Or all the other stuff they've killed at the park!!!
I'm betting that it won't be long until the Bird Cage Theater gets a
tombstone! =)
And now what you've all been waiting for!!!! Construction photos of Knott's latest attraction!!!!!
Here it is!!!! The worlds tallest, fastest, scariest T.G.I.
Fridays!!!! =)
And for all you people who just didn't get enough "dirt photos" during
Silver Bullet's construction...here's a few more.
Then on the way home, we see the best thing we saw all day....
"Show me your tits." We laughed the rest of the way home!!!
