This sort of goes against my previous post but does anyone think they'll ever pipe in regular TV at Duff Gardens? That might make it a more appealing place to sit and relax for a long period of time.

They don't want people to sit and relax for a long period of time...they want them to order food, order drinks, get up, and go spend money elsewhere. So no, don't count on it.
So they don't want the place to be an actual bar.
They're not in the business of running bars...they're in the business of operating a profitable theme park.
Except for the bars that they have elsewhere in the park. :eyeroll:

Except those aren't cartoony outdoor themed bars--Finnegan's and Chez Alcatraz are located in locations squared off from the rest of the park. The environment is more controlled and less busy, making it easier to monitor guests and drinking, etc. Managing a bar isn't as easy as serving people liquor--quite a bit of work goes into it. Running a bar in the middle of a main thoroughfare isn't a good idea.
In any case, food and drinks, not alcohol, is what makes up the majority of sales in a theme park.
You realize they serve actual beer at Duff Gardens and inside of Moe's, right?
Whatever. Don't lecture me on the difference between two places in the same theme park that both serve alcohol.
Gimme a break, Justin. He began with the condescending tone.

I agree with this 100%. I've said before that I think Duff Gardens would be an awesome place to hang out and watch some football on Saturdays or Sundays. I'm not promoting guests to sit there and get wasted; just relax, enjoy a few beers, and maybe catch a game. The longer people hangout, the more money they spend. I'm quite surprised there's no live TV. Finnegan's gets too crowded at times, and NASCAR is a walk. Oh well, it is what it is I guess.This sort of goes against my previous post but does anyone think they'll ever pipe in regular TV at Duff Gardens?

:thumbs:Wasn't the park map supposed to be updated weeks ago by now? This is really getting ridiculous. Fast Food Boulevard and The Simpsons Ride are still in "World Expo" with no sign of Springfield. Is there some sort of contractual issue that is holding the map update up?
One other thing to consider: if you think YOU--the visitor--find those repeating Simpsons clips annoying, can you imagine having to WORK there? I'll bet the employees are going absolutely crazy having to listen to the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over AND OVER AND OVER 8 hours a day, 5 days a week!
Sorry to change subjects. Buuut... Is there any definitive word on when, OR if the custom waffle irons are coming? I'd really like to try the chicken and waffle sandwich, but the prospect of frozen waffles as a bun really doesn't tickle fancy.
