What approach do you take?<BR/><BR/>I know for a fact that beyond the telephone booth in your photo is the "secret entrance" to the back area where the backstage entrance to the Golden Horseshoe (as well as the offices for Adventure/Frontier Attractions) are/were located. In the 1980s we had a trash compactor back there too where the Adventure/Frontier waste was deposited. The compacted trash was loaded into a truck by the night crew, who used the larger gate over by the River Belle Terrace and Stage Door Cafe in order to access the "secret back area" in the middle of Adventureland and Frontierland!<BR/><BR/>Love the skulls and shields at the Adventureland entrance to this day!!<BR/><BR/>Mike KellyMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936929214738391738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-53768996691361648842008-07-23T10:50:00.000-07:002008-07-23T10:50:00.000-07:00Is that Dave in the stroller?Looks like him!Is that Dave in the stroller?<BR/><BR/>Looks like him!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11023449275486420957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-77049999804062142052008-07-23T07:00:00.000-07:002008-07-23T07:00:00.000-07:00Wow! almost 3D.

Another neato nook *nyuk noo...wow I never saw this. Another neato nook *nyuk nook* thanks Maj. (pronounced, "mage" hehe). What was to the right back then? Tahitian Terrace?<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you guys doing these amazing blogs all know this, but in case anyone who reads this doesn't know - protect those Kodachrome slides from LIGHT! If well developed, kept from bad conditions and light much as possible, they'll last and last, like this one has. But Kodachrome fades worse than most if exposed to much light. Put them in a slide projector to show Aunt Harriet much or keep 'em laying around out in the living room you'll get a magenta slide, Kodachrome or not. Keep, sell or trade, plz be good guardians peeps, so others will be able to enjoy them like we can here now thanks to the Maj.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-30909725900980262902008-07-23T02:52:00.000-07:002008-07-23T02:52:00.000-07:00Another wonderful vintage photo!

In my opinion, they have now junked up/ruined almost every corner of the park. This part of Adventureland looked better before they stuck lava rock or whatever kind of rock it's supposed to be in front of the restrooms in the 1990's (okay, I'll admit that the removal of the modern day phone booth was a good thing). Again..just my opinion. :-)TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.com
