I saw the boards up last Saturday and wondered why. Even though the expansion is really needed for the restaurant, I will miss the Vietnamese sour orange tree they took away for the space. I liked the nice-smelling blossoms it would produce (around this time of year, in fact). Remember this plaque?
Yep, just take away more trees for more concrete. The restaurant needs to be made bigger, but they couldn't figure out a way around one tree?I saw the boards up last Saturday and wondered why.

They aren't giving up that valuable desert party space just to provide more food options for people unwilling to pay upcharge prices.
Why then do you think a sizable venue remains unavailable despite a clear need for capacity?not bad .. only 5 posts before upcharges are brought into this thread

I think the major congestion at cosmic rays is at lunch time. They could easily open up the terrace at lunch and still use it for the fireworks party at night.
There's no reason they couldn't open it for lunch and dinner until 1 hour before Wishes.
Outside of that requiring staffing for the location I would agree in part. I'm not sure an hour is enough time to run people out and prepare for the party but they could run it 11:30 - 5:00 which would help pull the lunch rush and still allow for them to prep for the party. The real problem with using this area is that it would require additional staffing and with adding tables once the construction costs are done (and I'm sure they will be minimal) it's just creating room for more people to sit. They won't be able to serve anymore or any faster but at least you can sit down.
Don't give them ideas...
