Re: Pleasure Pier Galveston

I was there with family this past weekend, 5-21-16, and decided to eat at Bubba Gump's but we did not, nor did we intend to, enter the "amusement park" section. We didn't see any other way to enter BG's besides the ramp, so up we went. The large 30.06 sign is still posted on the left side as you go up the ramp, about 40ish ft. from the street. I was confused because I knew that a year-round amusement park was statutorily off-limits and didn't need a sign. (After reading this thread I now understand that PP may or may not be considered an official amusement park. I'll let the experts debate that.) Anyway, I thought maybe the sign was for the restaurant. However, upon entering Bubba Gump's there was the standard "unlicensed possession" sign right inside the door, which in my mind trumped the 30.06 sign on the ramp.

Which brings me to my question: If the 30.06 is indeed intended to apply to the amusement park portion and not the restaurant, and assuming it is in fact legal (whether it is or isn't, IDK), wouldn't it have made more sense to put it at the top of the ramp, at the actual entrance where you have to pay to ride the rides? I'd hate for someone to see that sign on their way to BG's and disarm unnecessarily because they thought it applied to the restaurant too.
