29yrswithaGApass Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Trivia: During the Time Warner years the stagecoach used in the original Wild, Wild, West Show was placed in front of the Fort for people to sit in and have their picture taken.

The Master Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Trivia: During the Time Warner years the stagecoach used in the original Wild, Wild, West Show was placed in front of the Fort for people to sit in and have their picture taken. I remember that, usually a mess of kids would climb all over it. After awhile a Mr Softy truck was parked in that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I hated that ice cream truck. The one by the Evolution site wasn't too bad, but the one near the Fort looked terrible and made the Best of the West look junky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 They just as easily could have fabricated a sort of Wagon themed Ice Cream Stand if they really wanted to. The truclk just made no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renkn Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) That really brings back some great memories. I also remember they had acrobats on those three poles on the side side of the arena. Edited August 31, 2008 by renkn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warnerleroy Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 The food wasn't what was bad, I just hate the fact when the park resorted to lackeing theme elements and doing this for food service, and letting the park go(if a ride was removed, the fence, quenue, and operator's booth mite remain for years) and things were just thrown into enty spaces, attendence was higher then than it is now when the management hopes to keep the park in immaculate condition.
