About the Great Park
The Orange County Great Park, with its 1,347-acre master plan, is the focal point of the redevelopment of the publicly-owned portion of the 4,700-acre former Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro. The Great Park is currently 27.5 acres and includes an iconic tethered helium balloon that rises 400 feet in the air, providing an aerial view of Park development. A $70 million development plan to expand the Park to more than 200 acres is currently underway. The plan will build out a core section of the Park for the most immediate and wide-ranging public benefit, including the initial components of the sports park, a 114-acre agricultural area, and an art and culture exhibition space.

I loved the first Kung Fu Panda! I saw it when it came out, but haven't seen it since. This looks like I don't have to plan what I'm doing with the kids that weekend. I also heard about a couple of other events like this one at another site I read all the time.
I love watching movies outside. There is a very festive atmosphere that the viewer can't get in a movie theater. How old is the first Kung Fu Panda? I seem to remember hearing on another site that Kung Fu Panda 2 is coming out soon.
