Always SEEKING Memories Worth Repeating

I'm never online at the right times!! I've known the hardest ones!  :P

If this were my living room, I would honestly be the happiest man on earth, and I would invite you all and 10,999 people over every day to see it. This is in fact the fireplace in the Old Basket Shop, currently the Apple Butter Shop near the front of the park.

Could it be at the American Plunge where the boats go into the wooden structure just prior to climbing the hill?

I agree it has to be part of the lift hill on American Plunge. Is that PowederKeg in the background, or are my eyes teasing me? :o

I think it is where you come out of the wooden tunnel on American Plunge while starting the lift hill.

^Those all sound like good guesses to me (and, yes, that definitely looks like Powderkeg in the background), but is Rube's silence suggestive of the fact that nobody has properly identified it yet??  Stay tuned, friends, for the exciting conclusion...
In His grip!

Yes I am a hands off- management type of guy. Though those were all in the ballpark, however not quite there, so I was just letting the guesses stew for a bit!

This is what it still remaining from Jim Owens float trip. Though parts were used for the plunge, this portion is not. This can now bw found directly next to the "Powderkeg" wagon in the queue line for Powderkeg.

Hmmmmmmmm...I worked at Jim Owens' Float Trip in 1979. I don't see anything left over from then in the shot. Not unless this is part of the old River Gang Clubhouse scene, or a portion of the old tunnel/cave, or something removed from the ride and brought over to a new location...the wagon is not from the float trip, to the best of my memory. Of course, it's been 31 years...Hmmmmmmmmm...

AHHHH! This one's really bugging me! If it's from the old float trip. I have not been in line for Powderkeg, so I am not familiar with the way things are laid out off the main pathways in this portion of SDC. (It was all woods when I worked there.) I'll take two guesses...1) part of the old River Gang Club House scene 2) the old float trip boat lift station used to pull float trip passenger boats out of water for service and repair. The only other structure along the float trip was the old cave/tunnel, which, to my understanding, wore out and was replaced with a concrete tunnel used today on the plunge.

Since rubedugans is being so deviously quiet on this one I guess I will go ahead and spill the can of beans. ;) Based on my observation this is definitely the lift hill on the American Plunge!

Here is a picture similar to rubedugan's.
