Oh yeah Andrew, I forgot about the entrances to the hobbit-tunnels that are located in the steam tunnels. I climbed into those from the one with the small steel ladder and spent an hour or two in them with Red Dragon back in '03.
That tunnel went under Southampton Road and ended in one of the now-demolished maintenance garages. It branched off to the now-demolished laundry buildings and over to where Self-Help and S-10 are.
Interesting how the paint is peeling so dramatically in the places where people would have brushed against the walls and left sweat and oil from their skin. If not cleaned thoroughly later coats of paint might fail there first. Or it could just be the nicks and scratches letting moisture in. Maybe there is evidence of humanity in the very patterns of decay?
i think it would be intresting to put a video camera and time elapse it so you could actually see the paint do that peeling thing it does...mabey im weird but i would pay to see that.
As this building has been abandoned for many years, and many people in and out, we have to keep in mind that items, furniture, etc. is moved... it is highly likely this PT equipment was moved...
The original EF will never be opened again, that is why Kimco has given Clark's farm to take whatever is left.
As in structures. The figures to all the exibits were either sold, given, or stolen years ago.
This is property that is posted with a no trespassing sign, you do risk getting arrested if caught.
The Alice in Wonderland tunnel caved in and was destroyed when the mall strip was first built years ago.
The rumor is Jilly's restaurant is pretty much over the tunnel site.
Figures and such were removed from the EF when it closed. Figures were removed from Alice before the cave in. These EF figures have been seen in antique stores, ebay, lawn sales,etc since it closed.
Some figures have been returned and been broight to the farm, by people who obtained them for whatever reason.
The farm hopes to be able to honor these original figures and give them a new home, but this all takes time and money.
An Alice exhibit may eventually be created, but that would not be for some time to come.
