pasitheaAw man. Disney World's River Country closed and was abandoned? That's kind of a bummer. it was one of the best attractions in the park. (Or at least one I liked the most as a child) http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2344523
It's also interesting how sharp my visual memory of this place is and how those things all looked 20 years ago. All of those pictures I see the picture and I know where they were taken from and what they were looking at even with the decay. *sigh* Sometime the memory damage I have from the car wreck is so very frustrating. My memory used to be so sharp. Most of the world from before the accident remains razor sharp in my memory. I recall visual elements in great detail. Since the accident, I wander in a world which is almost always new to me. I can visit a place a dozen times and it feels unfamiliar each time and I see things I don't recall seeing before though people around me assure me they've been there for years. (Big things like buildings, not small things)
I often wonder if my drawing would be better if my visual memory weren't so poor. I feel like most of my drawing skill is encoded as muscle memory.
But ohwell. Life sucks and then you die.

I raised a glass recently on the last night of "The Adventurer's Club" - I haven't been back there since it closed, but I miss it, just knowing it is not there anymore saddens me.

Or maybe the water park wasn't competitive with other attractions in the area.
No idea really.
