There are some hotels and restaurants that changed names, but very little construction. Probably the one big one is Dinosaur Adventure Golf. It sure looks like it will open soon. The dinosaurs look amazing. The only drawback is that it will take a couple of years for the plants and trees to mature and give it a nicer &#8220;jungle&#8221; sort of look.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the people I&#8217;ve seen around on the weekends in the last month or so, it seems like this summer could be strong.
