| About the Shop Info Box | |
Adventureland Store is located at the southwest corner of Main Street, just past the left tunnel. It sales park-specific merchandise. Most everything in this location should feature the Adventureland logo or something specific to a ride in the park.
It is home to one of two penny press machines in the park. The other is at the Storm Chaser Store.
Up until 1997, this location was set up as a school, and not a shop. It had three rows of three desks and a teacher's desk, as well as two candle holders on the walls. It was remodeled and used for processing Season Passes from 2003(?) to 2006(?). (Outside building was in use in 2008. No obvious signs in 2007 -- where were passes in 2007?)
It was turned in to a retail space in sometime after 2006. (When?)
After the fire of 2010 destroyed the toy store, the park remodeled this location in to the Toy Box.
There were at least two other locations on Main Street that were originally displays rather than stores. The Fire Station and Post Office.
