Default Silver Springs Update

[QUOTE=Bogie Shooter;579590][QUOTE=Dr Winston O Boogie jr;579577]We went to Silver Springs yesterday and I had very mixed feelings about this place. When I first got there I was very disappointed. The park is very old and run down. I like the feelings of old places as long as they are maintained and this place is not. There were very few patrons which may be why the place is so run down.

I just checked the Silver Springs website and found this update:
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PLANNING YOUR VISIT:
Dear valued guests, please note that Silver Springs nature park is being turned over to the State of Florida as of September 30th, 2013. In preparation for that, Silver Springs is undergoing significant renovations in order to bring it into a more natural state which emphasizes nature over rides and attractions. Accordingly, when you visit, you will find most if not all of our rides and attractions have been closed (and some may be in a state of deconstruction). However, the world-famous Glass Bottom Boats will continue to operate, so that guests may continue to experience the stunning wonders of these natural springs and the wildlife therein. The famous and wildly popular concert series is in full swing with an array of top talent, so attend as many as you can this season! This is your last chance to visit the park before it gets turned over to the State of Florida. Thank you for your patronage, and enjoy your visit!
