About the Food and Drink Info Box

Rally Round is a corn dog stand. It's current location used to be Chicken Shack (first location), and before then it was Curley Q Fries.

The history here is a bit confusing because the name has been used for two different locations. Originally, Rally Round was in a small building near where the River Rapids log ride was. That building burnt down on December 15, 2011, and they built a new larger building there and moved the Chicken Shack to it. At that time (I assume), Rally Round moved to the old Chicken Shack/Curley Q Fries building.

TODO: Since they were at different locations, I think they need separate pages for them. Not sure how they should be named. Maybe with the year they first opened? i.e., "Chicken Shack (2006)" for the food place that opened at that building in 2016. The new location would just be "Chicken Shack", but if they move it somewhere else later, we'd rename that one to "Chicken Shack (2012)" or something. I think that will work.

Rally Round (old) -> Chicken Shack (2012?) Curley Q Fries -> Old Chicken Shack (old) -> Rally Round (2012?)

    • This seems to be incorrect! Rally Round looks the same as Curley Q Fries did in 1997. The Chicken Shack was completely rebuilt, so did KCCI get the wrong food location in their article? Or did the corn dog place really burn down and they built it back the same?
