I need help clearing something up, hoping that I have not lost my mind or am making things up in my head. I distinctly remember, as a high school senior, taking a trip to GA and seeing the Garden of Marvels. I have always been a model train buff, so that is why this area of the park impressed me so much. But the problem is, the school trip I took there would have been in May/June 1979, which was my senior year. According to the info on this site, the Garden of Marvels was already dismantled for the 1979 season and converted into a mini-golf course. The change in the 1978 to 1979 park maps reflect that change to the park.
So the question is, if the miniature village was already gone by 1979, why do I so vividly remember seeing it as a teen? So much so that I did a search and found this website! Is there any possibility at all that the changeover took place midway through the 1979 season, and perhaps the Garden of Marvel was still around in May/June? If not, I cannot explain why I have such distinct and vivid memories of this attraction. Someone help me!
