I visited the Fort on 7/18/09 to see how things look.
It appears that the loop conversion project is complete.
There have been no reported loop closings since the first of the month, and there are no signs of any construction at the Fort at the moment.
Now that the dust has settled, where are we?
I checked the loops for poop bag dispensers. Obviously, the loops with dispensers are intended to be used as pet loops, those without are not.
I also checked with a castmember at the front desk, who confirmed the following designations independently of my visual observation of the poop bags. Based on my subjective questioning, I confirmed that this castmember was a reliable source of information.
Of course, Fort management has changed what loops are designated as pet loops in the past, and could easily do so again, but this is the state of things at present:
100 preferred non-pet
200 preferred non-pet
300 preferred pet
400 premium pet
500 premium pet
600 premium pet
700 premium pet
800 premium pet
900 premium pet
1000 premium non-pet
1100 premium non-pet
1200 premium non-pet
1300 premium non-pet
1400 premium non-pet
1500 partial non-pet
1600 full pet
1700 full pet
1800 full pet
1900 full pet
2000 partial non-pet
The pattern that has clearly emerged is that the premium loops closest to the dog park are pet loops. Premium loops further away from the dog park are not pet loops. For some reason, all of the full hook up loops are pet loops. There are no full non-pet loops. And, of course, the two partial loops remain non-pet loops.
What remains to be seen is whether, now that the construction is done, the Fort management will enforce the non-pet loop designations.
