Yoshi Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 I like seeing all those Phillies helmets on the shelf. I remember sand art being really popular in the 90's. It seems like it was all over at places like school fairs besides at parks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 I always say that sometimes the background details of a photo can provide some great historical information. I always thought that the first location for this stand was near the Flying Wave but if you look closely to the left side of the stand in the photo below you can see the windows on the Haunted Castle’s facade putting the stand in the entrance area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 I think I remember there were two stands that were identical-- this one and one directly across from the Emporium (about where the statue is now) on the edge of a planter. The one near the Emporium probably sold more poster maps than any other store in the park since it was right at the front gate. If it wasn't exactly the same, it was really similar with 3 sides having counters and just enough room for one person inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Yes, there was a similar stand (Main Street Merchant) that was added a couple of years after Liberty Square Novelties was moved. We haven't done the spotlight for this stand yet, but it has an extensive laundry list of uses around the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Oh yeah-- film would have sold well there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
