People who don't remember or never visited the park years ago will accept almost anything they see, because...well, they don't know any better! (Kinda sorta joking here.) You know what I mean. In the photos I posted, the modern fans are accepted by todays crowd, but in the old days, the park might have built a covered walkway with ceiling fans. Yes, ceiling fans are a modern thing, too, but if they blend into the background, you won't notice them as much, and still, the air will circulate and people will be cooler. Check out the ceiling fans in the Mill, for instance...yeah, they are there in the big dining area with the magic table. At the diving bell, we had three large "blower" fans that circulated air conditioning in the building, but the blowers were hidden in the ceiling and a wooden grille was covering them. I gotta admit, the modern fan posted in the GE and in the Lost River line work, do their job, make people comfortable...and it's much cheaper than building a covered walkway with the ceiling fans, which saves the park money. But sorry, NOT in Miss Mary's time! To me, unforgivable "breaks" in theme are the TV in the furniture shop, the electric heater in Two Sisters Jewelry, and the clerk in the shop talking on a wireless phone. Sorry, NOT in Miss Mary's time! Us Dugan boys were threatened with disciplinary measures if we carried our big plastic water cooler from the door of the rib house (where we filled it with ice and water each summer day) to the door of our break room (pictured in the photos I posted) which was a distance of probably less than 100 feet. If we carried it uncovered, it had better have been done prior to the rope drop on Main Street. If we filled the cooler after visitors were filtering through in the morning, we had a burlap cloth we covered it with for the short trip. If we didn't cover it with the burlap, dang, the bosses would skin us alive! Yep, the burlap covering didn't fool anybody, but, an ATTEMPT had been made to hide a "modern" device in the themed area of the park. At one point in the early '80's the entertainment directors ordered that the chrome microphone stands used at the gazebo, and other performance locations, be covered in a burlap covering too. It was downright silly, the entertainers hated it, but it was done for a season or two...again at least an ATTEMPT to "theme" something.
