Let's have some more Marvin's pictures, from back in May:
Here's what pinball league looks like, by the way. Yes, on the end, that is a Revenge From Mars, one of the two Pinball 2000 games that briefly looked like they might be the future of pinball what with their Pepper's Ghost-illusion augmented playfields.
Belly of one of the airplanes in the ceiling chain progression.
Posters way up on the top of the place. The Steam Carousel here is meant to be the coin-op one I showed a couple days ago. The Walt Disney and P.T.Barnum sign is one of a bunch at the place. The tommy gun, well, that's just there.
Blocking one of the few windows beside the door are this hanging fan (that's never used), the mirror, the skeleton, and above it, a panorama of Looney Tunes characters showing such fan favorites as Petunia Pig, that Indian character from like one short maybe? and that family of The Three Bears with the father who's so emotionally abusive I don't like watching them.
Estrella's Prophecies, in a corner near the front door, a coin-op fortune teller of the kind we also saw at Sylvan Beach a couple years ago.
I'm legitimately not sure if this is genuinely an International Mutoscope Reel Company device or if this is a decoration put on a modern figure. They still have cards, making me wonder where the cards come from.
The southern wall, showing off a monkey band in the upper left, a neon Pontiac Indian-head logo, some mysterious Zoolympics With Sparky poster. But I also include this to show just how packed the place is because a very slight change in the angle ...
... gives us this completely different white balance problem. You can see the monkey band (which doesn't work) more clearly here. Also a Chuck-E-Cheese character poster behind that.
Here's a close-up on the monkey band, and the Zoolympics poster. It's hard to find a clear angle to photograph the Chuck E Cheese shield there.
Three Little Bears standing on a ... not sure what, really, but a something hanging from the ceiling so you only see them from afar.
More of the stuff way up top there. You can see the slope of the ceiling lowering to a more normal mall environment's height. I don't know what the World's Largest Chicken Bones are ``really''.
Here's a small Ferris Wheel contraption with plush dolls of some kind in all the seats.
Trivia: Philippe August, King of France from 1180 to 1223, ordered the streets of Paris paved; he was annoyed at being enveloped in clouds of cart-stirred dust when trying to enjoy the view of the Seine.
