    For those of you claiming we didn't go to the Rainforest Cafe that you know and love, here is proof we went to every single Rainforest Cafe in North America, if the video of us doing it isn't proof enough lol

      I find this video to be in poor taste because rain is apart of the word rainforest and is related to the word water. You know what else is related to water - rivers. Do you know what’s happening as we speak? People are falling into the river in Lego city, but you don’t care you just maintain the status quo by continuing to eat jungle fries. Shame on you

    This short film has further reinforced the dynamic of an awkward family road trip, with Eddy playing the role of the pessimistic, divorced father taking his starry-eyed son Ted on a road trip across the States to every Rainforest Cafe. The acting was so good at certain points that it almost seemed like the emotions were real... fantastic work by the cast and crew.

    Then he thought “What if everything else about gas stations didn’t suck?” And so he expanded his brand, gave his gas station chain a mascot, and just started selling anything and everything he could think people could ever want from a gas station and made it all high quality

    Haha, this actually reminds me of a funny story about Ted Nivison and the Rainforest Cafe! A couple years back, I was actually at a Rainforest Cafe with my family and I saw none other than Ted Nivison! Being the huge fan that I was, I thought it might be nice to get a picture with him or something, so I decided to approach him and say hi. As soon as I was about to open my mouth though, Ted shushed me and said, "Do you really think you have the RIGHT to talk to ME? Do you know who I am?" He then grabbed my arm and snapped it in two, watching me writhe in agony as I fell to the ground. He took some of the ornamental plates they had at the Cafe and smashed them over my head. He then took some of the plastic toys of dart frogs and other rainforest animals and shoved them down my throat. Finally, he pulled out his trusty hammer and snapped both of my knees in two. He swore to me, "If I EVER see your stupid face again, you'll face the TRUE wrath of the Kneebreaker..." Classic Ted!

When I approached Ted to say hello his smile fell and he stared at me dead-eyed and breathing violently through his nostrils. By the time I exited the restaurant Ted was long gone, along with Eddie who was still chained up. As I was walking to the bus stop to go home, I heard a car start up and I turned around just in time to see Ted in the drivers seat, grinning from ear to ear, right before he ran me over with his 2002 toyota tacoma in the color forest green. Such a pleasure to finally meet Ted Nivison and to be able to watch his adventures from my hospital bed!

    My niece absolutely loved it (she loves animals, nature, and french fries, so you can imagine who had lots of SAFARI FRIES), and wants to come back! When I called to see how they were doing, despite all my niece had seen, the highlight to her trip was the RFC.
    We may joke about it, but this place is truly magical to children.
    Oh yeah, also my sister thought it was pretty nice and now brother-in-law is dreading visiting his parents, because he knows that from now on he has to take his daughter to the RFC every time they go.

    If you notice today that "Nile" the crocodile's mouth never fully closes is because in the beginning a guest actually reached into his mouth and cut his arm yanking it out along his teeth. They went to rubber teeth, not closing the mouth tight, and locating him out of reach after that....we also had to block his throat because everyone was throwing coins into his mouth like a game and didn't want it to get into the internal mechanisms.
