It was ALWAYS packed with kids, the higher you got in it the more kids were packed in. Something else that seems to have gone the way of the dodo bird are those big "tube" play areas (like the McDonalds or Chuck-E-Cheese playlands; but much, much bigger and taller). There used to be several around Dallas, we used to take our kids to them when they were small (about 10-12 years ago). They were plenty big enough for the adults to crawl in too, I loved them! They all disappeared right around the same time and of course thinking they'd be around forever it never crossed my mind to take pics of them.
