Big Cedar Top Of The Rock Question?

[Bill Babler]

In the past few days we have been hearing that the "New" Top of the Rock facility that Big Cedar owns is in the near future only going to be available to those folks either staying at Big Cedar or Buying a Timeshard at Wilderness Club.

Heard this first by a waiter at Devils Pool saying the restaurants up at Top of the Rock when they get open are only going to be for Resort Guests and not the General Public.

Today on my guide trip my client is staying at Wilderness Club and they are trying to sell him a timeshare. He said one of the big sales pitches is that the entire Top of the Rock faculity "Everything including golf, shopping, dining and the museum are only going to be available to Resort guests.

Does anyone know if this is fact or fiction?

We sure are hoping it is open to the public, but it is not looking good as far as what we are hearing. All the folks says it does not affect the Woorman House or Devils Pool.

I called Big Cedar and they have no comment either way, and don't know where the Timeshare sales people are getting their info, or where the wait staff is finding these things out.

Let us know what you know on the subject.

I don't know about whether or not it will be open to the public or not, but I wouldn't hold your breath either way. I have been going to Wilderness Club for over 5 years and they keep saying it is almost ready to open, but never does. I'm sure it will cost a fortune to eat or play golf once it opens as well.

Have you heard a real date as to when it is supposed to open?

Well, I can't imagine a timeshare salesperson stretching the truth. Must be true.

Was it Grouco who said he didn't want to belong to any private club that would allow the likes of him membership. Ness, that young lady at bass pro assured me that everything they told me was true............

Wilderness club at Big Cedar is a big joke. I bought points 10 years ago. I can never get in. We stay at Stillwaters instead.

It's always a little easier to believe a young lady, no? It's been the ruin of many men.

Yep, fast women and slow horses...............I hear, cause I've been happily hitched for 51 years but to continue my saga , she changed her tune when I told her buddy over at the the other table told me if i bought a timeshare a night with her came with it................

I'd say if Big Cedar didn't deny, it must be true.

Said they didn't know either way, but you are probably right. Hate to see it though. Loved to go up there when it was open.

Also heard from a very informmed person that Johnny has spent more money on Top of the Rock than on the entire Big Cedar complex. This is not including Wilderness Club, as it is a joint venture with another person, nor Dogwood Canyon.

He now has had Top of the Rock closed 8 years on this construction project.

Literally Hundreds of Millions spent on Top of the Rock.
