Title: Where in the City? (2008 Season)
Post by: History Buff on July 29, 2008, 11:46:41 PM

OK, so let's see how much your memories really do work.
I took a special series of pictures, yesterday, that may get you thinking.
I'll post the picture - You tell us where the item is located at SDC.
Here's the first one.  Go for it!

Well, off hand, I can't say that I know where that one's at.  I guess when you walk through the park day after day, you tend not to notice some of the things that guests might pick up on and say "hey, that's cool."  But I do see that there is a little competition for dental work in town.  I took this picture the other day--

Post by: History Buff on July 30, 2008, 12:13:30 AM

Hmm...Anybody know where either of those are?

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: BelmontATO on July 30, 2008, 10:15:20 AM

One of those is on the path that runs between The Flooded Mine and Bummer and Lazarus.

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: History Buff on July 30, 2008, 11:15:59 AM

Bum and Laz is correct!  That first sign is across the path from the Flooded Mine.  I must say that I need to make an appointment with I.B. Painless, though.  I like his prices.  Perhaps someone can tell me where his office is.  It's obviously a newer sign.  Is it in the Grand Expo somewhere?

Post by: Zephon on July 30, 2008, 11:30:38 PM

Yah, I was thinking the same thing as I posted it.  Five bucks for a set of dentures is not bad, not bad at all. 

Hey, Buff, it wasn't my intention to divert or horn in on your game; I just found the competition between dentists interesting.  But, the sign is not in the Grand Expo.  I'll tell you if you want to know, or entertain other guesses for a while.

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: History Buff on July 30, 2008, 11:43:52 PM

You're perfectly welcome to horn in; the more, the merrier.  I just hope someone can get in there and identify the location of the I. B. Painless sign soon.  What structure has that red paint?

(Of course I know it, but I don't want to tell anybody. ;))

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: BelmontATO on July 31, 2008, 08:30:42 AM

The train depot is that color, but I don't think the sign is there.

Oh... the giant swing!??

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: History Buff on July 31, 2008, 10:59:00 AM

Not on the Giant Swing proper, but perhaps on the fence along the walk to it?

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: Zephon on July 31, 2008, 12:11:36 PM

No, not in the GS area.  Actually, Belmont, you were closer with your first consideration.

Title: Re: Where in the City?

Oddly, it was years before I happened to look on top of the Springhouse Restaurant to notice this, but it has since become one of my favorites.

We need to get the I. B. Painless sign now.  Zephon, are you saying it's near the depot?  That's awfully close to the other dentist.  Perhaps they have a clinic together.

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: Zephon on August 01, 2008, 08:43:48 PM

Yes, it is close to the depot.  I can't give much more of a hint than that without giving it away.  I'll give the answer any time you're ready.

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: Zephon on August 03, 2008, 10:20:38 PM

So... in the interest of letting this thread continue to bigger and better things, the I B Painless sign is located on the back side of the Woodcarver's Shop, facing the train depot. 

Next picture?

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: Swoosh on August 03, 2008, 11:18:46 PM

Good Luck with this one -- as I am not sure how many of you have actually seen this with your own two eyes before. :D  Some of the names should be familiar to you though.

That would be the train robbery shack.  Pretty cool history there.

Title: Re: Where in the City?
Post by: Swoosh on August 04, 2008, 12:35:14 AM

That was probably rather "cheap" of me to do as I doubt too many on here have actually been in the old robbery cabin.  It was a pretty nice outfit they had going there before they gutted it when they moved on further out on the course.

Not really, Betamike, but I'll take the compliment.  Sometimes we need a softball and sometimes we need a tough one.

This is in Sullivan's Mill, but you have to look over the counter on the right side to see this view.  This is where the inside of where the water wheel is connected to the mill workings.  In fact, it was the first time I'd seen this since it's hidden by the counter.  Too bad, betamike, you just let Swoosh increase his lead.

It is located between the Railroad Tressle and the Rope Climb tower before you get to the Wax Hand place -- and no, not the Dippin Dots Stand.

I must admit, I had never looked inside the shot tower before I took the pictures.  It was nice to see the attention to theming around PK.

As for the last picture, I'm going to call it a tie for Coaster and sonthew.  This is at the base of the sign at the entrance to the WF area.  Coaster came in with the area first, but sonthew was more specific.  At times this can be too close to call.

Is this on the shop by the river front that sells aquatic-related items? I think they're called something like 'Gill Wire Jewerly'. I remember the place because they sell authentic pearls there, straight out of the oysters that you get to grab out of a tank.

OK, to be honest, I can't pinpoint this one myself, but it is on or near the RP on the same side of the road.  I suppose I should write these down as I take them.

Let's try a new one.  It's not a great picture, but you ought to get it.

Of course, and I'm glad you were intelligent enough to recognize it as a snag and not just a hanging tree stump.  This is another example of attention to theming in the Riverfront area.

It is the eggs hanging in front of the entrance to the Wilson's farm area.  The sign says something about an "egg scramble".  I always thought maybe it was hint about adding a themed scrambler ride in the area.

Because every time I go from the Attractions Office to that side of the park I use the stairs next to Christmas Hollow and see those pictures every day. In reality I shouldn’t be playing this because I see these things all the time. I’ll keep from posting here. LOL

Oh Swoosh!  Silly boy.  I'm glad you're on our side.

rd, don't mind him - he's not upset with either of us.  I do like to hold him to a higher standard in this game, considering his connections to the park.

Now as for the new point, Swoosh, I'm not sure you quite nailed it, since this is a peek at a part of the display (so the picture does not actually show the "world's largest collection", just a "sampling of the world's largest collection).  I'm also not clear on whether this is exactly the "east" wall, as it may actually be "east-southeast".

I'm also not clear on whether this is exactly the "east" wall, as it may actually be "east-southeast".

That would be inside Brown's Candy Factory.  Eva May was a saint to work with (bless her soul).

betamike is correct (with a slight misspelling).  N.O Parole is the warden at the front gate of the ride while Warburton is the warden in the queue.  Why oh why has Silver Dollar City given us these alternate realities?

Credit where credit is due:  it was SDC who got the spelling wrong.  betamike was just being loyal to the source.  Again, I stand corrected.

I suppose the "worden" may actually spell his name that way; in such a case it would not be a misspelling after all.

The shot tower at Powder Keg decorated for Christmas with what appears to be a waxing crescent moon. Cannot see the horizon, but my guess is that it would have been taken around December 1st-3rd about hmmm...7 oclock ish.

No it's just a beam with moss on it and some ivy growing on it as well.

I was thinking the same thing, but sounds like we're way off.  I am stumped on this one; I really should pay more attention to detail when I visit the park.  I'm not a camera person, so that might explain a lot. :)  I'll give it some more thought though and see if I can come up with a guess.

Hey, I didn't say you weren't doing a great job.  Keep up the good work - at least until things slow down for me at school.  Third quarter is always the worst.

I was thinking this was around the tintype studio, but that's not exactly Midtown, is it?
