    We keep saying we must go there, so I must do it!!! We recently bought the Beach Boys Greatest Hits on CD ( had a copy on vinyl so haven't played it for many years) and introduced them to our daughter's (14 and 12yrs) who enjoy their music - they think it has a 'happy sound'. The oldest one, who is doing Music GCSE, was quite sad we will miss the concert by just 5 days.

    Anyone else appearing there in April?

    We have arrived back home to a cold dreary depressing day here in the Northwest

    To add to my comments above, Cypress Gardens is a forgotten park. compared to Disneyworld and Universal
    Although we was first time visited, I would hate to see this little gem close due to lack of support.
    Granted not as near as Disney,maybe not as exciting for some,but well worth the journey.
    Please try and visit when you are in Florida,you will be pleasantly surprised.

    People might not recognise some of these names but many are massive in the Country genre.

    We have visited Cypress Gardens at last and we are so sorry we didnt do it years ago . A big thank you to Paula , Barbara and everyone else here who encouraged us to visit this lesser known park . My daughter had a field day ,she went on all the rides except the tiny tots ones and in some cases because it was so quiet she got a second turn . There is something here for everyone from the roller coasters to the magnicient gardens and topiary. The Festival of Flowers is on until March 30th ,and well worth a visit . There was even an Easter Egg Hunt and all the kids got some eggs, of course you had the greedy ones (parents were worse )who collected more than their share so some are going to have sore tummies even before Easter Sunday. What really impressed was how genuinely nice the park staff are ,so helpful and they appear happy to have you visit. Next time we shall watch out for some of those great concerts they have there and make a return visit. Also the town of Winterhaven is truly delightful also . How I would to be able to attend the Beachboys Concert there on March 30th but unfort unately we will be back in the real world then.

    I like the look of Hermans Hermits with Peter Noone. I had a picture of him on my wall as a teenager [msnembarrased]
