It leads one to believe there was quite a display toward the backstage area of East Main Street. Who knew? It's just a great image that Dave has uncovered for us.outsidethebermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272382432824523809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-49539775912838727442009-03-29T18:25:00.000-07:002009-03-29T18:25:00.000-07:00Really neat!Really neat!Tina of Pfeiffer Photoshttp://www.pfeifferphotos.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-16870883324062421552009-03-29T12:32:00.000-07:002009-03-29T12:32:00.000-07:00Nobody has mentioned this, but the entrance to Edi...Nobody has mentioned this, but the entrance to Edison Square was going to be between the Red Wagon Inn and the Carefree Corner.....basically where first aid is today. Also, the Edison Square plans were the precursor for Carousel of Progress before the revolving theater concept came about. It was originally going to be a walk-through attraction where a curtain went up at the end of each act and the guests walked to the next set. It shows up on versions of the old wall maps and the 4 scenes are even labeled on the map as "American Home Pre-electricity," "American Home Advent of electricity," Contemporary Living," and The Electronic Age."<BR/><BR/>FANTASTIC pics today, Dave....but I had to cling to the corner of my desk to keep from falling off my chair while viewing them. Sorry, I borrowed that line from the "striped wallpaper" scene of an "I Love Lucy" episode.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-5629763181029969262009-03-29T10:25:00.000-07:002009-03-29T10:25:00.000-07:00Holy Moly!

There appears to be quite a tent structure behind this facade - just what was in there??<BR/><BR/>As for Holidayland - it's been reported that another problem was the serving of beer during the picnics. Didn't work out so well once the guests went into the park...picnics. <BR/><BR/>Great stuff!outsidethebermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272382432824523809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-47807492404195608572009-03-29T08:11:00.000-07:002009-03-29T08:11:00.000-07:00very neat shots! i've never seen that edison squar...very neat shots! i've never seen that edison square display before...<BR/><BR/>the posters in the holidayland frames seem to be not only trimmed, but torn by little vandals.<BR/><BR/>i hope now, as adults, those li'l rascals know what the value of an attraction poster is and feel some pangs of guilt....thepicklebarrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00257806661675722436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-13494392733464401192009-03-29T07:29:00.000-07:002009-03-29T07:29:00.000-07:00very cool and seldom seen stuff. thanks.very cool and seldom seen stuff. thanks.Thuferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692445357659425688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-62774758114300178442009-03-29T07:27:00.000-07:002009-03-29T07:27:00.000-07:00Ditto what Progressland said!
