I wanted to photograph everything I could before anything else gets rebuilt or torn down. I had to wait until the Fiesta weekends were over and yesterday was gospel day. Not my thing! But I did get to ride in the cab of engine #41 after having met the train operators last year. They were really great and gave me a 1st class tour of the whole operation. Boot hill is decent now, if you can ignore the roller coaster pylons. They have the original audio for the owl and organ with eulogy working and sounding clearer than ever. Also a new hearse on the other side of the stream.Hoyt Clagwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135549901937914659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055639559428308964.post-73556984377497023362009-05-14T00:01:00.000-07:002009-05-14T00:01:00.000-07:00Wow...thank you for this update!

The barber shop looks pretty good...too bad about the original glass window...maybe they will put some lettering on the new one. The Silver Dollar Saloon however, looks HIDEOUS!!!!! I guess 3 out of 4 isn't bad considering who and what we are dealing with (I mean YOU, Cedar Fair.....SHAME ON YOU!) We should probably be happy with with what we got, right? Thanks again LTK, for your great coverage of these Main St. buildings!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055639559428308964.post-58344588092237681522009-05-12T23:29:00.000-07:002009-05-12T23:29:00.000-07:00A newly-fabricated barber pole is now on the Barbe...A newly-fabricated <A HREF="http://whimsicalwill.tripod.com/Knotts051209.JPG" REL="nofollow">barber pole</A> is now on the Barber Shop!WWillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055639559428308964.post-78948143254760587162009-05-08T08:44:00.000-07:002009-05-08T08:44:00.000-07:00Another nice update.

'Tis a shame (barber pole is missing, too).<br /><br />Great job, otherwise, Cedar Fair. This has certainly exceeded my expectations!WWillnoreply@blogger.com
