I live about 30 min. north of Fort Mill. Best times as a kid there with my grandmother. Boy, she was a real supporter. Messed up, really let her down. Brings back some great family memories. I guess you were there helping construct the park? @ CincinnatiGifts

@Bizkits531- Check out my Heritage USA vids that I recorded in 2009 & 2010 to see how things have changed!

@southport97 This is sad, but true.

Hard to believe now that Heritage Island is GONE...totally GONE!!!

Where there was once a cool waterpark is now a waste area overgrown with weeds.

[CincinnatiGifts]

@ThoughtTraveler Indeed- such a waste.

Hey Stacy welcome to the PTL discussion forum.

cincygifts. Yeah. I guess food was not that important when you are 18 and want to have fun. : )

I guess as an old dude now I concentrate too much on details of the past. You live for the moment at that age. Sigh.

I only ate at the cafeteria on a couple occasions, and although I don't remember anything spectacular about the food, I don't recall any issues, either.

The last time I ate at the cafeteria was back in July '87- over 22 years ago, when I was 18. I didn't really concentrate on the food as much- I wanted to be outside in the waterpark!

I was wanting to ask how the food was in the Cafeteria. It looks almost like a Golden Coral or Old Country Buffet type of eatery....although the decor is much nicer.
