at the "Wild Adventure theme park" the following is from the parks website
Through one variation or another the band has been recording and touring ever since, with Tommy Shaw rejoining the band in 1996.
Bring your lawn chair as the concert is included in the price of admission. Show starts at 6:30 pm
Any thoughts?

Classic, the ripping was done because most of you in the DDY zoo (I mean camp) for this debate were non stop in the ripping of Styx for their choices of venues. Then when Dennis finally decided to join the living by crawling out of the batcave getting a website up for his fans and doing a few shows he booked virtually the same type of venues as Styx had been playing. It's soooo damn funny how some of you will rip one area, then praise another when its virtually the exact same. The Zoo vs The Theme Park = the same type of venue. Look back and see who actually started this argument. I'll tell you who it was, it was the DDY (zoo), I mean (a taste of), I really mean (camp).

Yogi,
I only seek consistancy, if you rip one camp for choice of venue, you should rip the other as well......I do think it's sad that the parts do not equal the sum, but hey, that's just reality.....on all sides.

Yogi and Classic:
I also seem to recall some Styx-venue bashing and Dennis-venue defending being directed by the same parties. I also opt for consistency. Rip one, rip the other, or vice versa.

Classic, It was EASY for your zoo, I mean Froy, I really mean camp to rip Styx when they started touring back in 1999 because your guy was holed up in some cave praying for the revival of his Hunchback play. Your guy wasnt touring so all yall' did was take potshots at Styx and their choices of venues. Your camp had nothing to lose, because your guy was doing absolutely NOTHING but sitting around . A year or so passed , then, Your Guy came 'Back To The World' and he started playing the EXACT same type of venues as Styx had been playing. By then Styx had moved on and up to BIGGER venues with REO and Bad Company and then you all ripped that they needed other bands to produce a crowd, all along Dennis is playing the same type of venues that Styx started out with in 1999. Oh yes, Dennis did need an orchestra behind him in some of his shows. It's kind of like Froy calling Styx a cover band then he jumps on a plane and flys to California to see Journey perform at Arrowfest. You really cant have it both ways I guess.. unless........... You live in the land where Deyoung is King.
