Before the closure, it was full of old school Florida tourist attraction charm (if you didn't mind the fact that you were the youngest person in the park, despite being around 40). But now, I don't know. "Polynesian" and "Hawaiian" events in Florida are common and always dicey. Phrases to clue you in that they aren't what you're expecting... "island style","steel drums","island celebration","Big Kahuna" and the artist-who-shall-not-be-named-but-who's-initials-are-JB. :D I've learned from experience to pretty much ignore any "tiki" events in Florida unless they originate from the Mai-Kai or from my trusted tiki friends.
