Yeah, but to everyone's point, you can hardly notice it now. When I went back a few years ago I hardly recognized it. Nor did I recognize that it was actually the middle of the park. Of course, the park has grown quite a bit over the years.

When we went to Dollywood last weekend, most of it was covered in ivy. The average person would probally not give it a second look.

I'm wondering if there is even anything in it at all, or just a vacant building.

None of us on here are average though! I would be trying to find out everything I could and I would be taking SOO many photos!

how about it dollar, did u get pics?

DollarCityBoy · « **Reply #21 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:37:53 PM »

Yeah, I do have quite a few pics of our trip to Dollywood. As I had mentioned in "DollerCityBoy Goes To Dollywood" I lost the cord that connects the camera to the computer. Think im just gonna have to bite the bullet and buy a new one; I know how we all love the pictures everyone post on here.

Check eBay, or Amazon for a replacement cord first, unless you are specifically in the market for a new camera.

Found this on another Forum, that was posted in 2007.
This is what this person remembers of The Inventors Mansion:

"The Great inventors mansion at Silver Dollar City, (pre Dollywood) was this:
You entered into a large room that had a music machine playing carousel music. You then passed up a ramp and into a rocking room decorated like a
ship. From there you had a choice of continuing into the laboratory (Gravity
room) or entering the "Topsy Turvy Room" (Haunted Swing.) The TTR exited
into the laboratory."

Betamike...do you have any other details that you remember & could share?

In one of the rooms was an illusion where you were supposed to grab a coin (an optical illusion) and when you tried, it sounded like glass shattering.

I do remember the room decorated like the ship and some of the similar "Granfather's Mansion" effects. I remember it being more spacious and roomy than GFM though.

And yes, the Laboratory....but I'm fuzzy on any of the details other than the treasure you were supposed to grab.
