Or rather it's a seating area for Auntie Gravity's ice cream shop it seems.

And whilst on topic, I've never heard in all my years anyone reference the fact the store's name is a play (lol) on the Shakespeare play, 'Merchant of Venice'.. I don't know if it's because it's totally obvious or people really don't know.. or care 😆

As per PP Shakespeare is still taught. I'll expand my point. It's obvious to most and, while cute, it doesnt rise to the where its worth a thread or discussion. No reason to explain Shakespeare to a person who doesn’t get the reference and no real reason to discuss it with people who get the reference

I know, I just wanted to know if people were aware of the detail as it never gets mentioned. Other such references eg the Food Rocks line on the dad's new shirt in CoP, get mentioned often, even have whole YouTube videos dedicated to it 😆

Because those things are self-referential and tie back to the history of the park. Pointing out Merchant of Venus / Merchant of Venice is akin to saying, "Auntie Gravity, anti-gravity? Get it? GET IT?"
