Let me get this straight....concert venue(very popular here), mudding(very popular here), airboat racing(very popular here), 4x4 racing(very popular here), but it's not going to be successful. Sorry, but there are tons of people outside The Villages, and I would venture to guess a few in The Villages (me being one) who would love this type of venue. Believe it or not, but some people like other things besides golf, bocce ball, driving golf carts and other activities inside the bubble. I have friends, colleagues, students and their families that do all of these things EVERY weekend. Now, to have a common area where they can compete and socialize with others, sounds awesome.

good

:agree: Dirt bikes, tractor pulls, demolition derby.....the more diverse activities in the area the better. Love tractor pulls!

Amen.Strange how people bitch about Wildwood but everytime someone wants to do anything to make it a better place,well that's no good either. JMO. As for me I can't wait for it to open.

I read back and didn't see anyone bitching about Wildwood. Many of us have never been to a park like this. IN FACT I didn't see ONE negative post on here except from people who were responding to what they thought were negative posts. Read them all from the very beginning. No one is fuedin' a fightin and a fussin'. Some people are alwys madeningly positive and others are always ouchy negative.

You learn something new every day.

This kinda park is new to me. I might just be over there once a week.

You can't know until you try it.

But NO horse poop.

Referring to ALL the previous negativity to wards Wildwood prior to this post.

There is a tractor and truck pull 6pm Jan 11, 4pm Jan 12 at Zellwood Sweet Corn Festival Grounds, 4253 W. Ponkan Road, Zellwood,Fl. 352-255-3855 for info. It's about an hour south of The Villages.

Personally, I'm there if they offer roller derby - especially if the local Brett Musburger will say over the PA - "Thunder Thighs" our number one jammer is in the box...oh my".... to me short of gladheaterher games - that real sports talk. Whether you enjoy it for the competition or irony..it is a uniting force in our culture. Plus, you can usually buy a good all beef dog and some suds.
