If your 2 year old was eaten by a gator at the worlds happiest place -- HokiePHX 06/15/2016 10:05AM
I do think it's obvious their signs were lacking wrt gators. They pulled -- BG Hokie 06/15/2016 10:07AM

I couldn't disagree more -- HokieMacDaddy 06/15/2016 10:34AM
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation -- Tommy Bowden 06/15/2016 10:41AM
They can't keep gators out and should have had signs about gators being in -- BG Hokie 06/15/2016 11:48AM
Call it what you want - it's a large body of water linked to many others -- HokieMacDaddy 06/15/2016 10:45AM
But it's THEIR responsibility ** -- Tommy Bowden 06/15/2016 10:55AM
To do what? ensure nothing bad ever happens? -- HokieMacDaddy 06/15/2016 11:04AM
Remove large gators, notify guests that there may be gators present -- Tommy Bowden 06/15/2016 11:54AM
At some point common sense has to kick in! -- HokieFan14 06/15/2016 12:06PM
Common sense. Such as posting an alligator warning sign. ** -- reestuart 06/15/2016 12:09PM

Looks like 95% is not beach-front. Also just read gators are being fed -- 48zip 06/15/2016 11:40AM

Yeah, on the list of items, gator attack would be near the bottom there. -- reestuart 06/15/2016 10:19AM

I don't get it. Why is there a beach next to water that you can't go into? -- HokieNoVA 06/15/2016 08:59AM
You can still rent boats, etc. People go to the beaches and picnic -- reestuart 06/15/2016 09:03AM
