They used to have valet parking at Pleasure Island. At the time I think it was a $5 charge.

And if they did, they could use the current dropoff location between TTC and the Poly. However, they may have to build an underpass (similar to the tramway) beneath Seven Seas Drive so as not to interfere with traffic, especially at closing time.

I may even start this as a rumor on Board-X and see what happens.

Underpass is already in the works to speed up tram service to that side of the lot.

Wow. That'll be nice for the monorail pilots, bus drivers and watercraft cast. Of course, it comes at the expense of several parking spots I am sure...


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Not that many, as it would just take what is currently the at grade 7 seas crossing that is considered back up to the tunnel and make it also a tunnel. What caused the op guide to have a contingency for the tunnel being unusable is another question.
