fortune teller For a nickel (or a dime in later years), park visitors could find a variety of fortune telling machines, short movies or a slippery machine that might just drop a jack knife or cigarette lighter to the lucky winner. Pictured on the left is Ramasee, the Great Egyptian mummy who could see and tell all for a nickel. On the right is the popular love testing machine. For a dime, you could grab the handle and hope for the top title. Many of these machines could be found in the various parts of the park into the late 1970s. For example, the Calico Ice Cream shop in Tombstone Territory featured a nickelodeon of Tom Mix. The Arcade featured a manual baseball game with players such as Lou Gehrig, Frankie Frisch and Babe Ruth. Teams highlighted included the St. Louis Browns, the Washington Senators and the Philadelphia Athletics. [Photo credits: park archives and Scott Fowler]
