New York City is one of the most exciting cities on the planet.

Nice tour; It’s my favorite section of the park. There is a sign in the corner (Matheny Flower) bearing our family name. We always had fun posing for pictures in front of it.

  Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. That is neat about the sign, one more thing I love about theme parks, everyone has their favorite little detail.
