Unbelievable.<br /><br />Dave, you have a picture of Aunt Jemima's from this era on the other site. it shows the patio right at walkway grade.<br /><br />Look at a modern shot and you can see that there is now an almost four foot drop from the patio to the walk in this same location.

I heard it had to do with the foot traffic heading from Adventureland to Haunted Mansion and Bear Country.<br /><br />I always thought it was built due to an anticipated increase in foot traffic when Splash Mountain would open two years later.K.
