They got kicked out. It got too rowdy there for the neighbors, with people parking on the gravestones of the cemetery across the way.

They only moved all the Tikis (the big one must have been a mother) - the rest was all poured concrete, and everything was reconstructed and sculpted anew in Lake Elsinore. Then it never re-opened.

I mounted two expeditions to there, in 1993 and in 1994 - on that last one, many Tikis had been claimed by the people that Danny owed money to, like "The Sea" store in San Pedro, but we got a couple of good ones that he was selling off.

When he was finally evicted from the place Danny toppled the giant Tiki to brake it.

By the time the paint ball place took over, all Tikis "had left the building".
