The Wizard of Oz - Page 2 of 3
Below: The Wicked Witch of the East
Dorothy was a young orphan who lived on a farm in Kansas. One day, a tornado swept through her farm, and Dorothy was caught inside the farmhouse with her dog, Toto. The farmhouse raised in the air and spinned rapidly, but Dorothy and Toto were unharmed. When the farmhouse dropped, it landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, killing her.

The Cowardly Lion is depicted as an African lion, and like all animals in Oz, he can speak. Although he often doubts himself, the Cowardly Lion nonetheless often demonstrates bravery in the face of danger. Since lions are supposed to be "The King of Beasts", the Cowardly Lion worries his own fear makes him inadequate, failing to understand that courage is not a lack of fear, but acting in the face of fear.
Lee and Karen Duquette traveled down the Yellow Brick Road. Paved with 44,000 gold-glazed bricks and stretching three-quarters of a mile, the path led Lee and Karen Duquette through a story brought to life by professional performers portraying Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch, Glinda and the Great and Powerful Oz.

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette met a dangerous person on the trail. Lee was brave and thought it was funny, but Karen was a bit weary. (Or maybe Karen just likes to act crazy)

Below: Then it was time for Lee and Karen Duquette to enter the final trail. But first, Lee Duquette had to ring a bell for entrance, as per the sign.
Below: The weird doorman flipped the sign over and it now read "Bell Out of Order - Please Knock". Then the doorman told Lee Duquette to knock on the door for entrance. He then retreated behind the closed door to wait for Lee to knock on the door once again.
Below: Signs along the exit way.
