As a European, I’m just amused to learn Casa Bonita is a real place and not only something from South Park.
As an American not from Colorado, I was amused when I learned the same. Apparently it had gone out of business and was recently reopened by the creators of South Park (at significant personal expense) because they were so fond of it as children.
They put $40 million into the renovations.
I don't recall the exact numbers but they never plan on making a profit off it either. It's a thing of love.
It's a rite of passage for kids in Colorado. It seems like everyone who grows up there has a Casa Bonita experience.
