Gift to Marceline

[Superman68]

Hi all,
I just thought this would be fun to share with everyone. I sure hope it is viewable.

The City of Marceline celebrated its most popular resident, and a local museum got a one-of-a-kind donation in the process.

So Citizen built a replica and gave it to the museum and the say it is a park attraction outside the parks and one of few? I've seen a lot of monorail sets under Christmas trees so I guess those don't count?

While not an attraction, a replica outside the park is pretty cool.

But there are thousands of replicas in out of park settings and they don't call them "The clock donated on Saturday is the only Walt Disney World park attraction that lives outside the park walls." I beg to differ with that statement and while I don't have any examples at hand I don't think it would take much digging. TV reporting

What are the actual exact replicas of park items outside the parks? I’m really curious. Citizen made the clock in the magic kingdom and they made this one. If they say it’s an exact replica, I believe them.

I don’t understand how this is anything but a nice bit of uncontroversial news.

That's a very nice gesture by that company. It's also a huge boon for the Chamber of Commerce types for Marceline, MO. Small towns across the country would kill for that kind of a gift.

When I saw this title of the tread, I thought you were referring to Paging Mr Morrow visiting the town.

While you are correct "The clock donated on Saturday is the only Walt Disney World park attraction that lives outside the park walls." isnt correct. John stamos has several things as do alot of collectors. Las vegas has a monorail operating. Marceline also has the midget autopia ride, that they used to run and are trying to restore.

I dont think there are alot of 1-1 copies of the monorail created by the same company under peoples trees.

I think the quote should have read.. that it was the only citizen clock that is modeled after the WDW one outside of the park walls.

Still wish they could have at least done something with the Laugh-o-Gram building...
