You're welcome, E_R. I guess I find it interesting because there isn't that one really good photo I've seen of the place in context. There's several close-up photos of the attraction and the really high aerials, but not one photo of the place in context of it's surroundings. (Like the one on the wall that was at Hanna-Barbera promises to be or the rendering of the place previously posted.) So I occasionally wonder about it.

I did find another aerial of this location...for what it's worth.

H.H.P.

It's dated 1949, a year after the Historic Aerials image. If Monkey Island is in the photo at all, by my estimation it's around where the "P" in Photos is located.

The others, for reference:

David Gebhard & Harriette Von Breton

Here's the aerial to compare it to:
