Surely you can't be serious about scrapping Griffon and bringing back the Lemans cars
He’s been serious about far worse ideas.
Even I think his idea of scrapping Griffon is silly, and I'm the one who calls for Verbolten to be removed and The Big Bad Wolf to return in its old place.
Did you just work your hatred of Bolt into a discussion of Griffon in a Josephine's thread?
Also, perhaps we should get back on topic.

Only to point out how silly it is for the other person to call for its removal.
Knowing this place's uncertain future, I'm going to let my membership expire after this month (and restart my membership if it reopens by Sep/Oct). I've been trying to lose weight ever since PTC restraints started stapling me, but this place was my favorite sweet treat at an amusement/theme park and worth blowing my caloric budget for after lunch at Le Frites.
100% serious…..The Lemans Cars was a family ride that anyone of any age could enjoy. It was a classic and back in the day you could get a chicken dinner from what is now Josephine’s and sit in a nice peaceful seating area right about where the bridge leading to Griffin is today. Yes Griffon is a great coaster but if I had the choice between the two right now I would choose The Lemans.
Some of my happiest memories are sitting under Big Ben, enjoying ice cream with my kids, 5 mins before park close. I have no interest in chic fil a, give me ice cream!
There used to be one called La Grande Glace that was where Les Frites is now. You can still see it on the Google Earth Street View from 2009
Yes that was my favorite too, again I frequented there often and as I said before would enjoy a banana split in the old seating area by Lemans.
Same! Loved that place. One of the strongest memories as a kid at BGW
I can still picture the black cast lights in the ceiling, that yellow and blue tile on the walls behind the counter…..red tile
floors…..at least that’s my memories of it.
Back to Josephine’s…..they tried to do a more upscale ice cream
parlor….and it worked. The homemade cones right before your eyes, had made ice cream creations done right where you could watch. Yes it was time and labor consuming but it was a great product…..pricey but great. This is what worries me with Bobs Bar…..they will create something g that they won’t want to support in the future. They will open with greatness and start cutting back from day one.

This was just posted on BGW Instagram story.
This seems to indirectly confirm that Josephine’s isn’t coming back.
Of course it’s probably me just overthinking it, but when they say there’s no better combination Dippin Dots and Coasters, when Josephine’s is literally in the background of the shot, it does make you wonder.
Probably posted from someone that wasn’t around when Josephine’s was a thing and has no idea about it.
I was told by a TM last Sunday that Dippin Dots was going where the Hawaii kiosk was. The Kona Ice that used to be there was a victim of covid and won't return.
Tbh, I was wondering why the Kona truck was in the park when it wouldn't be all that expensive to buy the equipment and flavors to run it in house... Guessing it's still easier/cheaper.
But having DD - to my knowledge, DD doesn't actually run most of their stands, so fwiw the park's culinary department would be directly responsible.
