    The first Dorothy in the Kansas scenes was fantastic. She even looked very much like Judy Garland. The costumes were spot on. My brother and I would have loved this place when we were little since we both loved The Wizard of Oz. Back then, it was only shown in tv once a year. It was a national holiday in our house next to Christmas, Halloween and birthdays.

    I always love seeing this place again. I've only been there once, the first summer it opened, i was 7.Glad to see that most of the stuff is still there. When I went , the characters , apart from Dorothy, all had big character heads. I did get to ride on the hot air balloon ride and was handed some Emerald City glasses as you walked thro the city gates(basically cardboard 3D specs with red and green lenses) . Seeing the finale indoors was much nicer . The original show was in a huge outdoor theater and you couldn't see the wizards head very well because of the brightness. Thank you again , Jacob!
