Frontier Village

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

Thank god for the Internet. After the discussion on the Disney thread I decided I needed some photos of the park to jolt some memories. The only thing I really could remember was the name, the gold panning, the fishing, the site mysterioso and that I went to a couple of Memorex company picnics there.

I guess if I loved it more I wouldn't have gone to that whore, Marriot's Great America.

But the Internet did not fail, like so many things do (Think Bode Miller at the Olympics)

Remembering Frontier Village

[El Dingo]

I always loved the hokeyness of FV. The Lost Dutchman Mine was awesome.

When I was 6 or 7 on a visit to FV I found a buffalo-head nickel on the ground. I thought I was the luckiest kid on Earth! Later I learned that FV 'seeded' old nickels around. It still rocked though.

...I remember seeing a shoot out where one cowboy fell off a roof. That was cool. Like being in a western. I guess times are different now; a shoot out at an amusement park sounds horrifying now.
