Man! This kinda stinks, LOL!  I wish I could play this but I wouldnt have much of a clue to where some of these things are. I have been to SDC twice in thirty years so I dont think I would do very well, but if I think I have one, I might jump in!  :D

Don't worry Andy.  I go to SDC multiple times every year, and I've only been really sure about a handful of them.  And I only guessed first on those handful once!

Hey, Andy, I made up the game and I only get the easy ones.

Andy I think you are just trying to talk yourself into visiting sdc more often.  Like everyday for a month  :).  Hope to run into you there soon.

Andy, don't feel bad...I work there and they stump me all the time.

Thanks for the support, folks. I didnt think I would get the outpouring of backslapping that I have and I appreciate it. See, most, if not all, of you know these places. When I was at SDC in 1980, I was a kid wanting to ride rides and eat. Didnt care what places had names and so forth. Then I went back in 2008 and, of course, you cant read and remember everything you saw and went by in one visit after 28 years. I guess what I am saying is that I see you guys talk about Mollie's or Sullivan's Mill and you call different places by their names. But if you took me there tonight, I couldnt tell you where any of those were if I was standing in front of it. So, it's not just the pics of stacks or signs, but I wouldnt even know the place to put them with because I have no clue what these places have on them or what signs are where?! I know I went the long way telling you all this, but hopefully I made it a little more clear.
I will give it a shot if I have an inkling of an idea, LOL!

Oh, and I forgot, pintrader....I dont need to talk myself into anything! I am already like a cat dug into the ceiling upside down in anticipation of getting back there as fast as humanly possibly in any way shape, form or fashion!! This site and you guys are what is easing that drive to get back. *Sigh* But, you know.....life and finances and crap like that! If I had the money for a good visit to the park and a couple days lodging, I would probably walk all the way there! :D ;) :o

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to let go the ceiling now. My nails are killing me!

Andy, I visited SDC every single year from the early '70s to the mid '80s, then had a gap until 1998, then one more visit in 2009.

In the last round of this game, I still managed to score two (I think), but I recognized several more but couldn't answer in time.

This round is more challenging than the previous games. It focuses in on details in places most visitors might not even see. I could only guess at most of the pictures in this round, so I didn't bother.

That's okay, Rube is keeping it challenging.

I've been every year since 1972 without fail and even worked there as a citizen but I still have trouble with some of these.  Okay...MOST of these.   ;D

Still, I love the concept and it has forced me to think about this same type of thing at WDW.  You all have got me looking at planters, railings, posters and rooftops here!

When I was posting the pictures in the first couple of rounds, I would come to a shot I had taken myself and couldn't think of its location.  I even thought of taking a notebook and keeping tabs of the locations as I took the pictures - but I didn't want to spend all my time at the park "working" so hard.  :P

Y'all are making me feel bad here! I am not trying to stump anybody! I, as we have found, have had trouble once and a while with some of my own photos as well HB. Many of the "easy" ones have come about in the last few rounds, I have different angles, closeups, and usually something in the photos that give hints. When playing the last few years I would always look at the photo, and try to guess before looking at the responses...Since the points don't really matter, but braggin' rights are givin out to everyone!

my guess is this one is in the Grand Exposition...but I cannot get more specific.
