Some other supposedly high-rated clubs I've been to in North America include Pacha in NYC, Studio 54 in Las Vegas and The Guvernment in Toronto. They're good, but DON'T EVEN TOUCH what Mannequins delivered. There is no doubt that Mannequins & 8TRAX could operate as profitible stand-alone clubs.<br /><br />BTW, I'm in Montreal this evening to check out some of the big name clubs here.KingBobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-52814933206371445152010-07-24T14:28:23.752-04:002010-07-24T14:28:23.752-04:00my point was that they REPLACED RC with not 1 but ...my point was that they REPLACED RC with not 1 but 2 big water parks! On top of that, there was a bacteria in the water that made it dangerous to operate.<br /><br />When PI was heavily advertised, gated, and had entertainment, it made money. They built the west side as a knee jerk reaction to citywalk which started the problem, then 9/11 hit and they laid off a bunch of entertainment, then ungated in 2004 leading to this argument about families and drunks being mixed together(which all goes back to the WS mind you)<br /><br />Accepting that someone else does it better? That is not the way Disney used to operate. PI was built to put a thriving downtown nightlife district out of business and it did exactly that! Now what's left? The copy cat Citywalk! How sad!<br /><br /><br />And you bet, if they opened Mannequins and 8-trax, I'd be there, money in hand. I'd pay 20 dollars just to get into Mannequins again. There was NOTHING like it and sadly I doubt there ever will be.zulemarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04441085809363061992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-22366762048553786712010-07-23T23:08:20.220-04:002010-07-23T23:08:20.220-04:00your right Bob I don't buy what your selling

But there's a new leader at the helm and changes are afoot at the top. That big announcement by Jay Rasulo last year about the additions to Fantasyland. Already being changed. See the article at jimhillmedia.com <br /><br />I have no idea how the new guy feels about PI but our best chance of getting some clubs to reopen at PI may rest with convincing this new guy that abandoning the adults was a mistake.
