Save the Adventurers Club

[Bocabear]

No, the drunks were relocated along with the rest of the populace of PI somewhere else. The market for live immersive entertainment changed and PI failed to keep up.

Actually it didn't... The Adventurer's club had a hug following, people loved PI in general...unfortunately so did thugs and teens...the problems could have been overcome if they wanted to, but why bother running a bunch of nightclubs when you can make more money just being a landlord?...and that's what they did.... But don't make it sound like PI and the Adventurers Club were unpopular, because that is just not true.

I never got to experience The Adventures Club, but im guessing it was a fantastic experience. Hopefully something like that comes along again as it sort of reminds me of going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show (minus the scampy clothing)

more like The Jungle Cruise with cocktails than Rocky Horror... It was really fun.

Not popular enough to retain, if it were it would still be in operation as they would have expended capital to remediate those issues. Its gone , move on.

Not to be mean spirited here or anything but I would argue that if you do not like people reminiscing about a popular and beloved venue then you should be the one to "move on". If you think it is useless to talk about this because it is gone then why did you come into the thread?

Preoccupation with the past at this level is an unhealthy obsession that falls under Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). its just like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, gone never to return.

 

[Bocabear]

So you are saying it is unhealthy to reminisce about the things we loved?
wait, and "at this level"?? a post on a forum about an attraction we liked is now somehow something crazy and obsessive to do?

 

[Bocabear]

Is there a history of people with a bordeline personality disorder obsessing about 20k leagues?
What?

gone never to return.

The Club itself is gone, but its legacy keeps spreading. The Society of Explorers & Adventurers has become an important storytelling element in a lot of rides and lands, and the Skipper Canteen is filled with references and nods to the Adventurer's Club. Tiffins at DAK is its "spiritual successor", where people can tell stories about their own adventures. I doubt the Club will ever return, but it's really become legendary, which makes me happy.

Don't forget the annual Adventures in Charity event - I finally got to go last year and it was great. I'm hoping to go back in 2018!

I guess all of us that liked and remembered the club have borderline personality disorders...lol

I work in the mental health field myself and nothing said or done here even comes close to BPD. If you feel that way about it then #1, you should never talk with family about the fond memories you share. And #2, please leave the thread because we are going to continue to discuss the AC and we do not wish to cause you further alarm.

I guess historians who research and explore history enough to write books so that others might learn from it have more than a borderline personality disorder. They blew right past the disorder.

In fact, WDI, with their attention to detail and penchant for honoring the past in a glorified way must be completely out of line.

Wait a minute. The same can be said of Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas with the whole Indiana Jones thing glorifying a bygone period of adventure in obsessively detailed ways.

And before them, Walt Disney, with that place he built so that "age relives fond memories of the past..."

Damn! We are all discussing and obsessing about the hopes and dreams of a man with a personality disorder...

I prefer to think of it as we have reached a higher plane of awareness which others cannot understand and they just need to move on from.

The order taker at McDonalds works in the restaurant industry but it doesn't qualify them to be a Sous chef.

Just to be clear here, you're comparing one of the members here to a cashier at McDonalds because they work in the mental health field? You're trying really, really hard to insult as many people as possible here.

I would very much like a link to this thread. That sounds like a great read.

No I specifically equated working in a certain capacity in an industry does not qualify one to do any position in that industry. If I had said X is "a cashier" or is "like a cashier" that would be a direct attribution and possibly a pejorative depending on his or her qualifications.

Sure, that's one way to weasel out of insulting someone. Get out of this thread.

Umm no especially since Otters are a type of weasel.
