Does anyone remember the Chimpanzee at Blue Bayou / Dixie Landing that smoked Cigarettes?

I have this vague memory of a Chimpanzee they had in a cage that patrons would light cigarettes and pass them to him and he’d sit there enjoying a smoke… this had to have been circa 2005-2007. Does anyone else recall this or was this a fever dream?

I worked at the Florida/Airline FFP for 3 summers and winter bday parties in the early 90's. I probably know you.

Do you remember Mr. Howard, the maintenance guy. He'd been there for 40 years. He passed a few years ago too.

Is she the one that got out at Fun Fair and started fighting cars on Airline by Cortana?

At least that's what they said on that Netflix doc with the lady who was hiding one in her basement. Another couple on there had one that went nuts after the husband died. The chimp had bonded with him and went insane in his absence.

Do you remember me? I was there in June of 1974 for my seventh birthday. I rode the gold glitter rail cars a lot. The Bumper Cars were a blast. I begged my dad to let me ride the Wild Mouse all week. I had second thoughts while in line, and a soon as they strapped him and I in, I freaked out and wanted to get off. He wouldn't let me. I screamed like a...well a seven year old..all the way around. He then made me ride it again to "teach me a lesson". A lesson in what? Death?
Eat a dick Wild Mouse.

Assuming aunt Verna and uncle Sam are still with us, do they still have their faces and all of their fingers?
