J4Sing Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Did it stay at the same location for it's entire lifespan, even though it served two purposes? I'm still in recovery from the Giant Wheel lighting fixture puzzle. I had it in the back of my mind and almost nailed it. So I shall proceed with caution on this one.

29yrswithaGApass Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hmm...I have two thoughts. If the first one is wrong, I'm going with the second. I think it's the balloon from one of the Main Street shops (I forgot the name) My second guess is the little Apollo like Space Craft outside of Shuttle and Centerfugue No to both! Did it stay at the same location for it's entire lifespan, even though it served two purposes? I'm still in recovery from the Giant Wheel lighting fixture puzzle. I had it in the back of my mind and almost nailed it. So I shall proceed with caution on this one. It did not stay at the same location for it's lifespan, although it didn't move too far! By the way, what was the pay phone reference with the Giant Wheel part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Another clue: One of the purposes was on a ride and the other was game related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I thought being at the park I might be able to notice some place where this might have been during it's stay but this one is tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Here' another clue: The ride is no longer in the park, but this object was the name of the ride when its purpose was for the ride. ... Now if you can make heads or tails out of that you'll be in good shape. But just in case, here's one more- the outside of this object was yellow.

CycloneMan Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Sombrero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yep, that's it! The photo is taken from underneath the sombrero. It was added to El Sombrero (Swabinchen) shortly after the rides was reintroduced to the park in 1993. It was removed from the ride at the end of the 1997 season and put atop a new games stand in Bugs Bunny Land in 1998. The stand was removed when Bugs Bunnyland was leveled to make way for the Golden Kingdom at the end of 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 New Mystery Photo coming soon!

29yrswithaGApass Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Question #7: When the Garden of Eatin' was renamed The Old Country Picnic Grove a new sign was installed. However, the arched sign was not new. Where was this before being used at The Old Country Picnic Grove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycloneMan Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It's not one of th arches from Joust-A-Bout is it? Because the structure on holding the sign does look like it was used as a support for some sort of casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 No, it wasn't used for the Joust-a-Bout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 FYI.. The arched sign was used for the Summer of Festivals in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Question #8: The object below is part of a structure which has a twin- one is located in the park and the other is not. What is this structure and where are they both located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiller4life Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 That would be the top of a advertisment sign in Fantasy Forest. It looks like it used to belong to old country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiller4life Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hmm.... When you say not in the park to you mean not on the property? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yes, in this case it's not on park property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterPete Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 My guess is at the Jackson Outlets, formerly the Six Flags Outlets. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 ^ Exactly! Nice job! The advertising pillar was added to the park in 1997 to promote the newly built shopping outlets which opened under the Six Flags name. The same pillar that is in the park promoting the outlets can be found outside the outlet food court promoting the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Wow I completely forgot about this thread. Nice job by everyone on the pictures that have recently been up there these are tough at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 To elaborate on the answer for the last question: The image was the top of the advertising column found in the park today: It originally featured the Six Flags Factory Outlets Logo when it was added in 1997: Its twin can be found at the Jackson Outlet Village still today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
