Perhaps if Consiglio hadn't been in the news for prior "indiscretions" , perhaps if he did this within the rules , perhaps if he didn't have so many people chasing him for money via the courts....

Maybe so many people wouldn't be so negative..

On Saturday they posted on their Facebook page that it's open on weekends from 10:00-5:00...sounds kind of legit this time. Still wouldn't pay $25 myself.

I drove up there - just to see if he was actually serious about trying to make some kind of effort to make the place look presentable.
Nope.
It's terrible, seriously terrible.

Their 'security fencing' is made of those temporary metal posts with wire and barbed wire on top...it surrounds the whole top of the area around the buildings and bridges. It has no gates, they just pulled a section of the wire back and leaned it against a post.
It seriously looks like a Nazi concentration camp now.

Unless they are hiding the parking lot - there were four cars up there, and one was Consiglio's.

Nothing has been improved, cleaned, renovated or repaired. The fountain out front wasn't working. There's no sign of the 'vineyard' they planted. The weeds at the front entrance to the welcome centre were higher than the plants.

The part I liked best though, is the huge flippin open garbage dump off the main entry gate as you pull off of Gillard - right behind their unused info/ticket building. It is revolting !!! There are three huge dump sites right there at the side of the road - full of household garbage, crap from the building site, old mattresses, the broken furniture from the patio, garbage bags, junk, broken garden equipment...you name it, it's just tossed into the Kelowna Mountain landfill station.

Seriously Consiglio ? How are people supposed to take you and your 'development' seriously when it's abundantly clear that absolutely no care or effort is being taken to even make it look halfway presentable.
You couldn't even hire a few kids to at least pull weeds ???
You're using the natural environment as your own personal garbage dump ?!

Ugh.

Probably like 2.4 million KGS of pennies!

Someone will scoop it, in about a year from now, for much much less. I hope no one is counting on a quick sale.

[TimmyE]

What' the point of buying it if it doesn't include the suspension bridges or the cave. That was the only reason I went up there.

[TedD]

Wait until next week for a 30%off discount. Oh wait, that's HMV.

[Queen K]

Not even the cave? Does the cave have separate parking? Because what use is the cave without the rest of the enterprise?

[voice of reason]

i hope someone turns it into a huge legal grow op

IF good enough the cave should BE the the parking area.......with complimentary Alfred and Batmen Valet.
