Good question...while at the resort...I was wondering what they could do with the 30's... What happened then? (aside from Snow White).

Good question. I asked 2 CM's while I was there, and they both said that construction is continuing, but neither of them had a timeframe for it's opening. I know two buildings are complete on the exterior, along with Legendary Hall (or whatever it's going to be called). Perhaps someone who works there, and contributes here in the forums, could help?

Ooooo hadn't thought about the gangster thing.
So will you be able to consumer alcholic beverages in the 1920's section? :lol:
And will they have air raid blackouts in the 1940's?

Not my picture, but http://photoalbums.wdwmagic.com/showphoto.php?photo=7857&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat=500
Looks like a cop badge, coke bottle, and a bomb?

That bottom one kinda looks like a rocket to me. Perhaps it's supposed to be one of those past visions of the future like in Tomorrowland or in the beginning of Horizons.
On a historical note, the 1940's really were the start of the space program. The V-1 and V-2 rockets used by the Nazi's in World War 2 would eventually lead to the beginning of the NASA space program. It wouldn't be until May 5, 1961 though for the first American (Alan Shepard) to make it into space.

What about this concept art from the 1930's, everyone forgets about the fact that this game was originaly sold in the 1930's and the names of all the place to land came from actual street names. At the time it was viewed that the game would not succeed when everyone was so broke and depressed about losing money, when in fact people loved the idea of making people go broke even if for fun so I like this drawing alot.

I don't see why there would be a telephone for the 1930s.
:veryconfu
If the pictures are correct, then the 30's won't have the pool, with the 40's having the badge shaped pool.
The 20's would be with the soda bottle, but it was around before that as well.
Looks like the 00''s and 10's will have the 3 buildings with the rocket/bomb pool.

I have all this information at work. But off the top of my head:
The "Badge" is a Route 66 themed pool.
The soda bottle is a Coca-Cola bottle.
the "rocket"... not sure what that is. I could have sworn on my copy, it was a Life Saver shaped pool.
The 1930s will not have a pool, just like the 1970s don't. Instead, they will have a larger than life Monopoly board.
Icons and Stairwells, and other themes will include Televisions, Radios, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs, Life Savers, Coca-Cola bottles, Candlestick Phones, Howdy Doody, Steamboat Willie, and a few other items that are escaping me at this time.
There is currently no word on when construction will resume, or an estimated opening timeframe.

The following is based upon rumor, so take it for what it may be worth. With the tremendous upswing in resort visitation this year, WDW wanted to restart construction of the Legendary Years ASAP.
However, they also realized that some major redesign had to be done so as not to replicate all of the obvious problems associated with the Classic Years. The main issues, of course, include vehicle parking, landscaping and some security/safety problems.
I hear they also wanted to make some interior changes in Legendary Hall as well (again to obviate some of Classic Hall's shortcomings) but these redesigns were considered too expensive and have been rejected.
