GAcoaster Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 No, and no. The computer portraits were just down the street from this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 My first park uniform was one just like the guy in the picture just above is wearing. The shirts had fake suspenders sewn onto them which matched the pants. That was the Merchandise department uniform in the early 80's (the girls had a red/pink version), and those were retired for use by the parks private contractors when I worked there. It's funny to see that little booth and realize it's basically mounted on a pallet so they could move it with a forklift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Only people as old as us even know that there were such thing's as Computer Portrait's and Dogtag Engraver's. I think Hernando was a parrot. Edited June 4, 2008 by Railer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hernando's Hideaway was the name of the games building situated at the exit to Rolling Thunder, was it not? Yes, Hernando's Hideaway initially referred to the games building just outside of Rolling Thunder (the one that now contains Johnny Rockets Express). The name was later used (albeit somewhat unofficially) as a term to describe that entire themed section, especially aftrer additional games and merchandise stands were added.

GAcoaster Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I had forgotten all about Computer Portraits! And if I remember correctly, they branched out and had a computer printout thing that told you about your birthday, and what your name meant, and did a relationship analysis based on your birthdays. I can still hear those old dot matrix printers grinding away! Of course all that became passe when they added the "Your picture on a magazine cover" stand! That was high tech!

Railer Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 And don't forget the stand that would put your face on Rambo's body (or whoever else was popular at the time), and for the ladies it was that classic Farrah Fawcett poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 QUESTION #21: True or False: In an effort to be like Disney, for three brief weeks in the summer of 1993 Time Warner's Bob Pittman opened a working Barber Shop under the Great Lake Grandstands. Although the sign advertised 5 chairs, only two were ever installed. It was meant to imitate the Barber Shop found on Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom.
