what if someone loses their key?

She is thinking...

Where is the Chief... I want out of here... I can't lift this Hydro Console alone... Got to get it through those windows... I want out!!

Kinda sad seeing them just sitting there dormant.

Hmm... It would be cool to see someone start one of those babys up! Vaarrooom!

I very highly doubt there are Coyotes in there. That may have been a ploy to keep you from jumping the fence, L-O-L!

So funny it knocked me on my fanny!

thanks SLS totally makes sense to me!! ;-)

Yowza...... yeah your "headache" would be right on top of your toes cuz you'd be about an inch tall!

SLS, that seems to be the perfect reasoning for the balconies. Makes a ton of sense to me as well!

Well, dayam you're good at doing that Motts! (sorry, I just love your work)

I have read that the bathrooms at the EF were segregated at first, but you are right, it was one of the first parks to be non-segregated for it's time. When King Cole welcomed all through that entrance, he really did mean one and all.
I saw a blog sight where a woman remembers that as a child for a school trip, was going to an amusement park in that area. The class was told that three of them would not be going, but would go to the EF. The child questioned this with her father, and he explained it was because of their color. She found the reason quite ignorant. It shaped her personality at such an early age. I'm sure that she was not the only child to question the reasons for segregation at those times. To rebel from its beliefs and to question why. Not only did this park inspire children to read, it is very possible that the original owners who created the EF, had no idea that it might also become the first lesson that taught children what segregation and non-segregation meant. The original owners sold it to someone who promised to keep it running. That promise was broken. Today is the results of that first agreement. Businesses have taken over much of the land where the EF once stood. Alice's tunnel caving in, destroyed forever and much more. The park has been stripped clean of it's figures. The company who owns it now, is only interested in the retail shops. Due to ownership, vandalism,and unsafe property, Kimco, the currant owners, have a no trespassing sign up, and have been kind enough to let Clark's Elioak Farm, relocate everything they can at the farm's expense. http://www.clarklandfa...CHANTED%20FOREST.htm. They hope to recreate over time many of the figures that have been stolen, sold, or destroyed. To relocate whatever structures they can afford. Photographs and videos of people spending time at the Enchanted Forest while it was open, is what is helping the farm with it's artists and volunteers, keep a little bit of the EF alive. Please consider letting the farm copy your photos and/or videos, so that a new generation can enjoy the creativity that the EF was known for.
