When the park was first announced this area set inside the old mall appeared to contain a fairly respectable collection of attractions able to hold its own again the likes of Born in the USA or Cool Country. There was the Moody Blues dark ride… which is actually listed as part of the British Invasion section since the entrance is exterior to the rest of the 70’s building. There was also the Magic Mushroom Ride…
which also turned out to be part of British Invasion. What about Bump ‘n’ Slam, the Punk vs. Disco bumper cars? Completely lost, apparently.
That leaves this section with the Kings Road Boutiques, which is really just a fairly standard gift shop at the exit of Nights in White Satin, and Pinball Wizard, advertised to be an arcade game Mecca but despite its impressive looking façade it’s really about the size of something you’d find in your average shopping mall.
To be fair, the area will also be home to Alice’s Restaurant, the park’s premier, full service restaurant when it opens, and from the looks of progress so far it should be ready for opening soon.
There is one other feature of Lost in the 70’s. The area right now is basically a long hallway that connections the FunkyTown Midway in Born in the USA with the Piccadilly Circus in British Invasion, so they’ve been letting guests in the first month sign their name or whatever on the walls of this hallway.
If anyone is visiting the park, check out in the bottom left hand corner of the orange wall on the Pinball Wizard side of hallway (near the Born in the USA entrance).
Bonus points to whoever can read what it says.
