Where in the City? (2009 Season)

rubedugans · June 08, 2009, 03:15:08 PM

A few hours at the park, and though it did cross my mind, I did not drag my wife around aimlessly looking for a window. She humors me enough with me stopping every 12.5 ft to take another picture, and the park just would not be as fun without her. I know from the image, that it is dark-er, HB most likely used a flash, there IS foliage, and some photo shopping to protect the identities of the innocent signs. I know the painted window frame colors on the window appear elsewhere in the park, but I CANNOT FIND THIS ONE. I must have been looking too hard.

I am going to guess the Lost River of the Ozarks.

That cracks me up. SDC Fans should not have to wear badges or shirts to find each other. We're easy to find - we're the ones running into trees because we're looking at all the dumbest little details.

Come now, people! You can get this. It is a unique location - not something you could find elsewhere - but I'll admit you have to really have paid attention.

Try these hints on for size:

Zephon is right! (Not the right guess, but yes there is some masking of a street name in the photo.)
FiTH and the Opera House are about as far away as you could get.
You must be out of sight of the main square.
It is not connected to a craft, a ride, a concession, or a show.

Ok... I think I might have it. When you are entering the park. Right before you enter the Hospitality House there is a Small Front Porch. I think it is one of it's windows.

OK...I think you might not. Sorry about that.

I shouldn't make it this easy, but here is another hint:

Mortimer bathes here.

Mortimers Magic Box (The magic shop)?

History Buff · June 09, 2009, 07:20:51 PM

Actually, the SDC website lists the magic shop as the Dazzle Magic Shop (though the picture still says Mortimers Magic Box).

But why would Mortimer bathe in the magic shop? There's no tub in there.

Perhaps Mortimer also hears explosions nearby as he gets his hair cut?

Grasping, here...the restrooms by Thunderation?

Mary's Springhouse? Mortimer Lucchi DID hit the spring while digging you know!

History Buff · June 12, 2009, 12:46:08 AM

^^Good job, tinmann. The window sits between the men's and women's restrooms next to TNT exit.

^rube, tell me the story about digging the spring.

I think I've seen these used to fix S & S seats so this is on the wall at either powderkeg or TGS...but I'm leaning toward TGS...but I'm submitting both guesses.

History Buff · June 12, 2009, 02:36:36 PM

Hmmm. Strikes one...and two...

SteamFreak · June 12, 2009, 02:48:40 PM

NO how did I miss this it's the unit that the emergency cord goes to on the frisco

History Buff · June 13, 2009, 10:13:26 PM

Yes, but which car???

Wow! How ironic is it that SteamFreak missed that one on the first try!
