If they had a restaurant like Boma's in the park, and didn't dumb it down. It would make a fortune.

(If you take the working CMs and the guest CMs out there was oh 20-30 people in the area at any time...) Very decent food selection with great pricing (everything about 3-4 bucks with very good portion sizes- much better than Food n Wine) the merchandise "part" was ehh but the energy of the cast made up for the blah selection (think inventory of Mombassa moved outside) The closing "celebration" was cute The information guide was creative All in all I give it an 8 out of 10 -em
