The plastic round green slide does not bother me at all. Seems strange, after I've harped on other theme breaks.  :)

i agree with you on non-theming items,

i however dont really notice it as much as many of you. But when i was there last weekend I too noticed, the cardboard boxes, the exposed pop cases, the yellow coolers,  and it seemed like I saw more trash cans also.

If I  notice these items, I know it has to be bothering you veterans.

There is no doubt these are all item that could easily be fixed/hidden. IF the PYB decided to.

They sure could try to keep these things out of sight more than they do.
Wouldn't take much and if it was done well it would ADD to the theming of the area.
Ever been to Disney? they are wonderful at this.

There is a tern the Disney fans use : Declining By Degrees.
that is what is happening here

I think what we are seeing are as the "old timers" retire and/or move on and leave the park, and the new help/citizens hire on, to replace them we are seeing less and less theme concern.

Nobodys fault, it is happening gradually and will continue to happen unless the city hires somebody to do just that. keep the theme in place.

If there isnt anybody showing the younger/newer help, the proper dos and donts, how will they know how to truly honor and protect the city and the ways the we love.

OK> done now.

good words sanddunerider.
i agree with tryin' to keep the theme, but all this doesn't bother me. i've seen it happenin' in the last 5+ years, even the way they dress. it's just not the same. but it is 2011.... my woman says she'd rather see a trashcan around so trash dont end up somewhere else. we have noticed its really bad waiting in line for Powderkeg between the 2 buildings, & it used to be bad across the swingin' bridge.
we have said before - City is gettin' city'ized.

He is amazing..   But just remember just because you see him in 4 locations within 5 min of each other and he is a different Character each time..   He is still only one person....   Maybe :)

Terry was at the trams to greet people on opening day with two other characters. I stopped by briefly to shake his hand and say hello as he was busy. Good fellow, talented, devoted to family and work. I helped to train him his first few days on the job in 1980. He wanted to work at SDC since he was a kid. After graduating from SMS in Springfield, he got a job at SDC and has been there every since.

Well i dont know all the details yet, but i had heard they were going to put in either another booth or replace the air paint artist by the saloon with a tatto artist of some kind.

Now i dont know if they are using permamnet ink, paint or pencils?

So there ya go!

Thanks for the warning in big red letters! However, this was one of the things I did notice while making my park tour on opening day. As I mentioned in at the top of this thread, I had to actually pull back from taking out of theme pictures as it was starting to depress me. By the time I saw the tattoo book on the shelf, I'd switched into "I'm going to relax and have fun mode." A tattoo artist booth does not surprise me, but it is another let down. NOT IN MISS MARY'S TIME! :)
