Who has stayed at BLT recently? Parasailing?

If you have stayed at BLT recently, do you see parasailing on Bay Lake? Would like to do it during our April trip.

As I recall the group who had the concession for that closed up awhile ago. That and waterskiing are gone.

Thanks, Kathy, I couldn't remember whether or not Sammy Duvall's closing had to do with COVID.

I think it happened shortly before but am not positive. Sounded more like they lost their lease or couldn't agree to a renewal or something along that line.

Edit - it actually closed in Aug of 2018!

After the incident years ago with the gators, are they still allowing people in the water? Pretty roped off from everywhere I have seen.

AFAIK they had warned people out of the water for years. The shallow shore areas were the concern but not the deep water where the water skiiers went. And of course parasailing took off and landed back in the boat.
