I was hoping to see the show art for this one but it doesn’t show up at your Show Art page.

Frank, it was great meeting up for lunch. I don’t quite get the whole Gulliver’s Gate thing and I have a feeling you talking about it is more interesting than the actual thing. I mean, what is it? Just a miniature recreation of NYC? I know a ton of work must’ve gone into building that and it’d be cool to see it for a few minutes, but…a permanent attraction in Times Square? For $35 a person? Am I missing something?
I also never got the appeal of Madame Tussauds wax museums. Paying a lot of money to walk through a room full of statues of celebrities that only slightly resemble the real people. Why? I guess before the internet, video games, TV, movies, and radio, this was one of the few forms of entertainment people had.
