Killarney (Ireland)

[whanna]

But is the tree still there - it's an icon!

I do like the retail offerings in the last few years. I don't need any plastic polar bears, but looking forward to more park-specific items.

 

[Lord Robert]

I wonder if the shop is getting an exterior and interior renovation or if it's only going to be on the inside. I'm wondering about that too.

Bring back the Battlements Shooting Gallery!



(Don't.)

 

[Lord Robert]

Not unless the targets happen to be Lord Balor and his minions. ;-P

New Talking Tree shop name: "Toys O' the Leprechaun"

In happier news, Pot of Gold will be sticking with its current name! Despite the addition of a staircase connecting the two stores, they will both keep unique identities.

Lastly for Killarney for now, apparently a new set of lockers is going in next to Castle O'Sullivan. Maybe they will be used for Battle for Eire?

 

[Thomas]

Isn't that what it was called when Ireland opened?

 

[Lord Robert]

OMG! The Tree store returning to it's original 2001 name is wonderful news!! YAAAYY!!

That would make sense if they are telling the truth on the base moving more for BfE.

My daughter loves that little store. i'm glad we are seeing a return of some of the older things. New is nice but sometimes nostalgia is too.

I've never needed a locker anywhere for a simulator. If your assessment is correct, I hope they aren't requiring we use them.

I'm with you Nicole, I hope they don't make them a requirement. Having an option is ok if you really want to use it. We shall see right?

I wonder if it's because of the ride vehicle's shaking/moving a justifiable cause for lockers to be installed. But I remember people bringing stuff inside when EitA was around and they managed to find their things afterwards.

Them saying that the "full capabilities of the base were unlocked" makes me think it's going to be a bit more forceful.

Thank god. I hated the merchandise in the store. Hope they bring back some of the older ireland merchandise.

I'm stoked that the "Toys O' the Leprechaun" name is returning for the Talking Tree shop! The Kids ShamROCK name always felt so tacky, and I like the bit of whimsical mythology afforded by the shop's original name. Very good call!

Picture of the new sign for Toys O' the Leprechaun and the new walk through between it and Pot O' Gold.

 

[Zimmy]

i like the new look of the building, if not the name.

 

[Lord Robert]

Wow, it's even brighter now and I like the fact that the new door connects the two stores.

 

[luseendesi]

They did still have "Kids ShamRock!" on the map Saturday.

I agree with you on the notion that Kids ShamROCK always felt like something from the 2000's kids "egdyness"
