Gilligan, it will be a Pizza place, and my understanding is a large place..

Supposedly a "brick oven" type of pizza establishment.

My understanding is that there will be seating for almost 300 people

( maybe swoosh can verify that number.)

That sounds about right.

Thanks for the breaking news, swoosh!! Exciting to hear about these changes! I think it is a smart use of space for the area. Let's meet for some pizza next year swoosh! I'll take your pic with a piece of pie! On a side note, the apple dumplings with cinnamon ice cream are out of this world. I don't usually like sweets but they are in a whole nother world. Amazing.

I think it definately has the potential to turn out better than some are thinking. The brick oven part sounds really appealing and like it will fit in with the mix of craft food items in the park. Sure, it's a bit out of place for Missouri in 1880, but I'm sure they can make up a theme about an immigrant italian family or something.

It will be most interesting to see how they reuse that part of the structure. I assume they're kind of using the skeleton and adding more deck around it. Perhaps they will add a second story floor.

I think that most of you will be surprised at how they redo that area... the pizza place is going to really stretch out in that area, and the path has some big mods headed its way,,

Whew! Well thank goodness they will be reusing/re-purposing part of the old fort. The original ball pit / ropes would make a good restaurant. It could have really high ceilings, or they could put in a second floor like Molly's Mill (although I wonder how that would be ADA). Also, I am wondering if they will completely enclose the structure, or if it will be open air, like the Lumbercamp. I am kinda picturing that style restaurant in my mind of what they might too.

Oh, and I'm sad that the bridges will be coming down. That makes a nice entrance into the area to pass from one section of the park into the other.

Something interesting to note. If you look at the Pathfinder for this week, there is an 'add' for Aunt Pollys on page 3.

LOL...speaking of bridges,,,

Since we are letting all the rumors/details fly....

I understand that there is a bridge in the works that will cross from OR area over to the Opera House area, most likely for restroom access.... But that will help with traffic flow from PK to OR also..

And again... Swoosh may be able to verify that detail also

SDC#1fan · October 23, 2012, 07:12:13 PM

Ok im lost what is the OR area?

ttroyer210 · October 23, 2012, 07:15:06 PM

Outlaw Run?

SDC#1fan · October 23, 2012, 07:44:53 PM

well i feel dumb now

First I've heard of it, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.
I know that the access road will continue to exist, at least at night as there are gates being constructed right now for both sides of the new pathway to OR. The bridge might be at the other end of the section?

Like I said, first I've heard of it.

sanddunerider · October 23, 2012, 08:51:26 PM

Swoosh, for what its worth....i understand the bridge will go over the tracks and tie into the area just east of OH.. that is where the tracks are below elevation anyway. so that would be easy enough to do anyway..

I dont have much more "info" than that as far as the bridge is concerned...

Maybe when you all do the ACE event they will tell you more..

OR better yet maybe the PTB will release a complete footprint of the project
