we knew the movies and the media was important to California and it sort of
became a studio and we knew that the great outdoors was important and we
liked the idea of the High Sierras and Yosemite in the mountain areas so that
led us to Grizzly Peak and of course Paradise Pier was sort of the obvious
choice for celebrating California's beach culture.

ah,
it's just been so inspiring how much there is to work with.
