Rats and Opossum are not to be trusted in theme parks without supervision. They are generally unpleasant guests if left to their own devices. Seeing all that again brings back memories.

The robots are a bit menacing. And of course we all love those San Diego evenings.

Very lush!

I forgot to answer you, no that is just an image on a screen.

One of the expansions of Highland Lakes that took space from the parking lots was adding the B&M Invert known as Fire Fighter. It only took a small part of the lot on the outside of the train tracks. Engine Co. No. 2 is not the original station for the ride, this was another upgrade that came later. The coaster celebrates the importance of firefighters and paramedics in California. Exiting through the gift shop I have been to lazy to finish...

Very retro

Indeed it is. Tail O The Pup is a historic LA institution. Young Sigourney Weaver on the top there, and Devo below.

I have been stalling, trying to find some inspiration to get back into this.

I will hold all applause until you say it is time. I need encouragement. This is a very charming addition, it carry's on the Disney pre-IP whore era feel. I am working very hard to hide my opinion of Disney parks today, I hope it is working. You handled the fairy tale theming very well, it is something I have never tried, and would probably not be very good at :)

This would have been the original entrance of the park, it is also supposed to have been a former pavilion from the time when the park operated as a fairgrounds. It houses rest rooms and some food stands these days This building served as ticket boothes for many years, it was moved out front of the entrance building when the park changed over to one entrance price for unlimited rides. When the park entrance was moved to about where the current entrance is this was moved back almost to where it would have been back when the park was small and each ride required tickets and it was repurposed for more food vending. Some of the historic structures that still exist today still serve purposes very similar to when they were build such as the carousel house. Another pavilion now houses a Himalaya ride The cafe has been in this same spot for many years. It has been added on to a couple of times. The original entrance to what was a show pavilion for livestock shows has served several purpose, for a time there was a coaster here that used this as part of the station after a fire destroyed most of the original show pavilion. The coaster was called Dragon's Lair and was an Arrow looping coaster. after it was decommissioned the pavilion was seating arena was restored to almost the same footprint as the original, a more modern entrance was added along with other upgrades to allow for more flexible uses. We now host a circus most of the year. This is the new entrance. Another historic building that still stands houses a sit down restaurant. The Whip is yet another historic remnant of the old park. Some time ago I mentioned there was a Engine Company Number 2 in the park. Here it is... it is a rather substantial upgrade to the station this coaster had when it was originally built and we will get to this one, maybe in the next update. It is part of that process of this park trying to transition from pure amusement park to more of a theme park.

Disney, if they kept it at all, would have to slap IP all over the land today, may be put a Marvel ride in the barn. Personally, I like that Farmer McDonald grows yellow stuff. It is probably what they put on his hamburgers at the other family business. Nice update!

Keep all crucifix's away from Gumby.

There is a Re-Shade setting which helps it just a bit but the rest of it is just golden hour.

Chairs were off the workshop I think, booths are just art shapes and the tables are various things.
