There was no backstory to Pirates (originally) -- and it wasn't so darn literal. You traveled back in time but it was done cinematically. I think sometimes this backstory stuff gets a little too "inside baseball" and geeky.

I doubt it will be that busy in the middle of the afternoon in July. Much like its predecessor, Golden State Park, Paradise Park doesn't have much shade.

But if someone becomes a fan of the attraction, they will want to learn more about the attraction. ie, what's the story, how was it built, how did they do that? (spfx), etc.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "Also be happy there are no trees otherwise your WoC view would be blocked." Of course. I wasn't complaining, only pointing out that on a blazing hot day people won't be milling about in that area.

I'm pretty sure there are people out there crazy about early period buses too. Who? No idea.
