点评:We visited the pumpkin spectacular back in 2013 and it was amazing!!! We came back because we were in the area and always had great memories of that first trip and I wish we kept it at 1 visit.
The first time was really spectacular, dozens of professionally carved pumpkins, each better than the last. The atmosphere was electric with excitement and both kids and parents trying to guess what design is on each pumpkin. The shadows of a giraffe even made it to our funny antidotes from that trip.
Fast forward to this week and money hungry execs took over. There wasn't even half the amount of professionally carved pumpkins this time around. Don't get me wrong, the skill was on point, amazing work and detail. But it was a joke of a spectacular. It felt like they just wanted to herd us in to look at a few pumpkins and be choked out with the fog machine. They weren't interested in your experience, just your money. The zoo had hundreds of silly and fun pumpkins but the professional ones was barely 2 dozen from what we were able to see. The area was so packed and crowded, I bumped into more people than I saw pumpkins. It shattered the beautiful and fun memories we had from 2013 in the face of corporate greed.
翻译:我们2013年参观过南瓜盛会,真是太棒了!!!我们又去了一次,因为我们当时就在附近,第一次南瓜盛会给我们留下了美好的回忆,真希望我们只参观一次。
第一次南瓜盛会真的非常精彩,几十个专业雕刻的南瓜,一个比一个精彩。现场气氛热烈,兴奋不已,孩子和家长们都猜不出每个南瓜上的图案是什么。长颈鹿的影子甚至成了我们那次南瓜盛会的搞笑解药。
快进到本周,那些贪财的高管们接管了一切。这次的专业雕刻南瓜数量甚至还不到之前的一半。别误会,他们的技艺非常到位,做工和细节都令人惊叹。但那次盛会简直就是个笑话。感觉他们只是想把我们赶进去看几个南瓜,然后被烟雾机呛死。他们感兴趣的不是你的体验,而是你的钱。动物园里有几百个傻乎乎、好玩的南瓜,但我们能看到的专业南瓜却只有区区二十几个。那里人山人海,我碰到的人比看到的南瓜还多。在企业贪婪的面前,我们2013年美好而有趣的回忆被彻底粉碎了。
