Hi...
Hoping this wealth of SDC experts can help me piece together a childhood memory.
We're from the Chicago area and my family took only one summer trip that included SDC--probably about 40 years ago. I was standing in line for a ride... (Can't remember which one, though it may have been Fire in the Hole--still a vivid memory after decades.)
Anyway, the line wound around a ticket booth which was "staffed" by a mannequin of some sort... but, if I recall correctly, there was a face projected on his face and he was talking to people in line. I was fascinated watching this "movie" of a face until he looked down at me and chided: "Move it along, sonny." making me realize how far back I was holding up the line watching this show.
Does anyone have any details on this? Was I waiting for Fire in the Hole? Any details on the basic mechanism?
Or how many of these details do I have impossibly wrong?
Thanks!
