Xanadu

Maybe...

maybe what???:???:

Where did you get that info? It seems to pretty dumb to me to open right before regular season. If it opened in July, they would have more hard-core folks looking for a quick fix.

The company i work for is doing all the Fire Safety installs. This is per the GC of the job Whiting Turner.

Drove past it yesterday, is that really supposed to be the building's exterior? Couldn't they possibly have picked a less ugly look for it?

According to the designers you need to wait until it's finished to see what it will look like. It looks like hell now and I think it will look like hell when the 350' pepsi ferris wheel goes up too.

Never say never. Did you hear about the man-made snow avalanche at Perfect North Slopes? Crazy things can happen!

I couldn't agree more. I see it almost every weekday. Believe it or not I was told the exterior is supposed to resemble Lego blocks. Where they came up with that I have no idea but this is New Jersey. I don't remember blue or green Lego's but red and white. I still have very little desire to actually ski in it.

For those that haven't been by it, here's a picture from may, it's gotten uglier since then.

I can't wait to read the first Xanadu trip report..:grin: Other than skiing..there will be other fun things to do like bowl and play mini-golf. I imagine combining a 2 hour on snow session at the Du..with a trip into NYC and for shitz and giggles maybe check out the rest of the complex..plus there are Sopranos tours not far away..lol

I meant to post this a few days ago, but here's the news we've been waiting to hear.

Workers at the Xanadu Meadowlands site have uncovered dozens of oozing drums, leaking fuel tanks, sunken pools of chemical-laced liquid and other hidden hazards since the project began almost four years ago.

The good news is we already know what to do with the toxic waste, transplant it to Michigan and Pennsylvania and it's only going to cost $6 million.:uzi: uke:
Don't fear, there's nothing wrong with contamiinated soil and water...if fact the complex will open before it's all cleaned up.:-o

What do you expect? It's New Jersey!:flame:

 

[njskier]

Opening date pushed back to this November, if it opens at all !

 

[SkiDork]

did they find Jimmy too?

 

[andyzee]

did they find Jimmy too?

That could only happen if he was buried whole. I imagine that he was cut up in witzy bitzy lil pieces that have since decayed and mixed in with lime. He will be carted away with the rest of the crap if he hasn't been already

 

[SkiDork]

maybe he was in one of those drums of toxic waste...
