But it's not just an issue specific to NOS, as you know. Pressler started the cancer of mediocre merchandising throughout every corner of the park, and nothing's really improved much even since he left.

Pressler is long gone. DLR is now on its 3rd manager since he left. The current team doesn't seem to be doing much to change the status quo. They seem to be turning the parks venues into standard tourist trap fare. But that is another story.
