This sign is located where the "Badlands" section of
the park once was, which at the time was only accessible by train
or stagecoach.

This section focuses
on a few well known areas of the park and shows you what progress
has done. Most of the images for the "Now" were shot
on September 23rd, 2000, twenty years after the last week of
the park being open. With an old map and some Frontier Village
postcards in hand, it's still possible to visit the park today
and pinpoint areas visited by thousands of fun seekers many years
ago. |
