Another day at Dollywood, another day of Dollywood pictures. Hope you're getting inspiration for how good your Roller Coaster Tycoon parks could look:
A long wooden aqueduct that I believe is part of the pan-a-bag-of-dirt concession; there's also a waterwheel somewhere along the way. It also serves as a natural divide between areas of the park which probably justifies putting so much material into a prop.
I don't believe that biplane flies anywhere.
This miscellaneous sign, describing what woods to use for what part of wagon construction, hangs outside a bathroom.
We're lucky we weren't visiting the Bright Sunshiny Day roadside attraction back during the storm! It would've been confusingly ironic.
Here is something I didn't know about, a bald eagle sanctuary, with a couple dozen eagles who can't be released for one reason or another. As you see, they're protected by a small version of that weird mesh Q tossed in front of the Enterprise but only in the first season.
This was the largest number of bald eagles I'd seen at one time ... until ...
Look at that! There's no less than ten in this one picture and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm undercounting.
Besides the eagles they have a number of other birds. Many of them are used in a show that we had just missed. Here's an African Pied Grow, if you don't parse the typeface correctly.
A bunch of, I assume, purchased commemorative bricks in front of the building. I'm assuming the 2008 Eagles were a local high school or college team and I guess they had a decent season?
Here's a turkey vulture that ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger wanted to pay special attention to, but there was something terrible coming ...
Yes, they were already closing up! Though it wasn't past 3 pm, I think, the birds had done all their public shows for the day and were being given their privacy.
I sure hope that's not filled with real mayonnaise as that would be quite the waste.
Trivia: By the submission deadline of the 30th of November, 1845, the British parliament had received eight hundred projected railway plans, seeking a capital of £258,009,000 (the Railway Commission estimated in 1847), close to the annual gross domestic product, with another 514 schemes that were not able to complete a proposal and promised to resubmit in the 1846 season.
