To accomodate these vehichles a mesh covered "tunnel" was planned as a special lane next to the existing roadway to keep these cars outside the grasp of the curious primates. This was never built.

29yrswithaGApass Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 ANSWER: True.

Thunderbolt Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Wasn't that booth utilized to sell concert tickets for "The Great Arena"? It was near the "Runaway Mine Train" Midcourse break run IIRC. At the base, you can see conspicuous cutouts. I imagine a forklift would interface here, to relocate the booth.

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 You nailed it Thunderbolt! ANSWER: The booth was orignially used to sell upcharge concert tickets in the mid 1980's.
