It looks good for now but 2 hr wait is not a good thing for the long run, ppl will get frustrated of long wait and may plan to avoid NH next time, more restaurant option should be available, max wait time must be 30-45min.

NH will be just fine even with 2 hour wait times. It shows popularity. You snooze, you loose. Having restaurants constantly booked is a good thing. If you want to eat during a certain time, make a reservation. Simple.

Don't know for certain but I would be surprised if they didn't. The plan for the outdoor space is still in play. Not sure what the delay is but my guess would be not having the capital to break ground yet. Not for profits are still having a rough time. If it were me I would hit up Tanger's Foundation and MGM for contributions/partnerships.

That would be a HUGE draw, weather permitting. wonder if they could do college ball as well.

All the reviews online are 2 stars at best. Wonder how long it will be. Nice to conter balance things for a family to do when mgm opens.

I could understand why they wouldn't. Just like they cancelled the 4th.fireworks. folks would think they could bring coolers of alcohal and tailgate food lol.

Yeah the recession really did a number on what they had planned for that location. I agree it would really create a great balance. Hopefully there are future plans to improve their indoor space as well and expand the age range that they serve.

the low rating is for the abysmal cost/benefit. Parents and kids both get charged $10 for about 23,000 sqft of exhibit space. My wife went and it is pretty lame for that price. If they took the price down to $3, it would probably get better ratings. We've had more fun at the Turkey Hill Experience in Pennsylvania for $10 a piece for adults and $8 for kids.

they probably could. I believe those types of games shown in a public place would require them to pay some type of fee. Still the trade off for drawing traffic would be worth the cost if there was one.
