Hyland Hills is a three rivers park, which means it shares its revenues with all other three river parks. If it were to keep the money it brings in, funding would not be an issue. Let Hyland keep all, or at the very least more, of its generate income.

Would love to see a mountain coaster for use in the summer time. The one in Duluth is awesome, if one was built for Hyland I really believe the user fee's would pay for itself. Timber Twister is very fun - not scary at all since you control how fast you go.

Drive up to Elm Creek Park in the northern metro and you will see a wonderful venue that is used by so many during the winter months. The snow making enables thousands of cross country skiers to continue to enjoy the outdoors in these challenging weather times. Three Rivers should learn from this, and skip all the "contrived" attractions costing millions, and utilize a fraction of the funds toward x-c snowmaking at Hyland Park.
