Build what you promised first

Well, we have finally heard from Waveyard. And the first thing after months of silence, is that they are taking their ideas nationwide. While this is an exciting concept that Mesa could be on the cutting edge of something, my first recommendation to the people behind the "Liquid Evolution Adventure Parks" is to build what they promised first.

This announcement is the equivalent of a band printing their t-shirts, planning a world tour, and starting a fan club before they have written their first song. I think the citizens of Mesa should see a few more results before they should be jumping for joy that Waveyard has on deck for the rest of America.

If you recall, I am a big fan of the concept behind Waveyard. I think that it could be a really exciting place unlike anywhere else in the country. I am afraid that this "one of a kind" concept will be, pardon the pun, watered down if they take it on the same scale elsewhere. That is why it is key that Mesa becomes the standard, and not the prototype. City officials should not settle for anything that could end up being the "ghetto" Waveyard when someplace like Waveyard San Diego, Waveyard Orlando, or Waveyard Tuscaloosa opens up.
