I apologize if this seems slightly stupid but what would really help me is if someone could just make a list of sort of what is happening at DCA? I really enjoy this park so I'm very courious as to what they are doing. Can anyone help?

I think right now it's scheduled to open in early 2010, but the dates have been getting pushed all around. As for the abbreviations, if you can come up with some of the specific ones, I'm sure people would be willing to help you. You can usually even just ask in the thread where it's used, and that should work too!

ORWEN: FerrerAfros, duckling, do you have a crush on my ex-Futurist sweetie, too? I mean, it sure sounds like it from what you just said...

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Oh, that's not quite what I meant either. If you want, I'll help you track him down, but you can keepm him all for yourself. Seeing his name was just sort of a flash back to LP of (sort of) long ago.
