  1. I want to say that the Sesame Place logo sign from the Texas archway was reused when the Langhorne entrance and archway were each relocated. It seems as though the original solid logo on the PA archway was placed in the current entry gate and the two piece logo sign from TX was put on the relocated PA archway that now serves as a gateway from the parking lot, down the road with the hand imprints, up to the main gate.

    Parking lot gate:

    I'm very curious to know how much got saved/salvaged/reused from TX to PA and to other Busch parks. Who knows, maybe even a piece of the old Sesame Place TX now resides in one of the newer Sesame areas of Busch Gardens Tampa or Williamsburg.
