It seems that raising prices on parking would definitely effect locals who use the marina often. I have noticed where I live that they charge an insane amount to go to the beach. You pay for parking and then again when you actually step onto the sand. Ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteYou shared problems that effect many people in your area.
Hi Kyle! I particularly enjoyed reading the third article about the 64 riders left in the air on Sheikra. That is actually my favorite rollercoaster at Busch Gardens. So it was unsettling to learn that the coaster has been experiencing some electrical issues. I think, considering the popularity of that ride, that finding a solution to the problem is imperative for the continued success of the park.
ReplyDeleteGoing downtown during rush hour in Tampa really suck, so have four event all happening at one time make a person just want to park their car and grab a drink. The article on Bush Gardens' Sheikra is kinda surprising. People get stuff on that ride so often its really nothing surprising anymore. I remember once they actually had to grab all of the stuff people off the ride. Hopefully they will finally look at that ride.
