You mean before the park went bankrupt? That admission would pay for about 1/2 hour of one employee pay.Genuinely curious: I wonder how crowded the park would be every day if admission were still $6.50.

Sure it would be crowded. Probably at capacity. But what I'm saying it's not economically feasible. It's like asking how many Qtr. Pounders McDonald's would sell at 1975 prices...a lot, but they'd lose money.Huh? I’m just wondering how packed the park would be on a daily basis if admission were still that cheap. It sure would be interesting to see.

Back on topic, were the phone booths in Banbury Cross there when the park opened? They’ve never made sense with the Elizabethan-era theme, but with the brochure specifically dating the area at 1603 as @halfabee mentioned, they seem more out of place. Does anyone know the answer?
The bobby in the lower picture seems a bit out of place as well for 1603.
I've said it before, with all the love for BGW a heart can muster, but the hamlets were clearly designed by someone who has never been to any of these countries. They are so stereotypical and almost a caricature of real places.
Still fun and beautiful, but about as culturally accurate as Outback Steakhouse.
