Thanks much!

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Oh, surrrrrre... Make fun of me and Dave. See how ya'll are? ;-) When I was a kid, closed rides were just that - closed. But! When I got older and wiser, I learned about that dandy DL contact number in the 714 area code and called it to get refurb info a few weeks before the trip. I don't recall ever changing plans because of a closure, but we got to be disappointed for a lot longer than just walking up to the ticket booths to find out a fave was on the list. ;-)

Originally Posted By oneyepete sorry Jim my bad. (although I don't feel that way.) I am very envious of everyone that got to go as a kid. I could only imagine what it was like from the TV.
