New deadline: September 1: https://www.fortwort...mini-train-july

 

well... tomorrow is Sept 1 and no announcements of opening tomorrow, though as of yesterday their facebook page says an announcement is coming soon.

I assume the announcement will be about an opening date, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

While it's a bummer they missed the Summer window for kids being out of school, it was also so dang hot I'm not sure how many folks would have been out anyway.

new hours:
Sunday:   10am to 6pm
Monday:   Closed
Tuesday:   Closed
Wednesday:   10am to 6pm
Thursday:   10am to 6pm
Friday:   10am to 6pm
Saturday:   10am to 6pm

new pricing:

While the price hike leaves me a little saddened, I can 100% understand and still feel it's probably a fair price overall.

With the investment put into it, I'm not sure they had much of a choice.  And it was grossly underpriced prior to closing.  What I've seen of it looks top knotch.

Maybe it was discussed before but I did not know of the Hames/Talley family connection (if I'm following this correctly).
