    I LOVE THE WOOZ! SO MUCH FUN!

  • Ben Glaser

    I guess that depends on what you call “Fun”.
    Myrtle Beach, beautiful women in bakinis.
    Vacaville, fat women shopping.

  • WisenCynical

    LOL.. The city’s name is really all they have going for them.

  • Rick

    When I think of fun, I always think of Vacaville!

    I’ve lived in Vacaville for 21 years, and while there are many positives, fun isn’t the word that immediately springs to mind.

  • Snarf

    LOL…is it April 1st?

    Yes Vacaville has a lot of city events that happen, but as for a vacation destination for fun? I don’t think so. The original Nut Tree was fun, but the revamped Nut Tree is nothing but another shopping center along I80, there is nothing special about it.

    Since when is a city with a population well over 100,000 a “small town”?

    Vacaville is a retail Mecca. If you call shopping fun then I guess they have the vote!

    Ever since the Vaca Valley Raceway, the old Nut Tree, the Wooz, and the Blue Lagoon Waterpark all closed there is nothing to do there. The only thing going for that town is Downtown Main Street and their Friday Night Summer Concert Series at the Creekwalk.

    Don’t forget the old Glider port

    When I first read this I thought it was a joke. I was sorely mistaken. I’m wondering if fresno, and stockton, and Marysville, and lodi, and Yolo, and tulare, and etc. were all in the running. This truly is a joke for anyone that has lived in other areas of the US and the world.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
