Amazing Mumford's Water Maze: Version 2

Amazing  Mumford's Water Maze was a play element that opened with the park in 1980.

The attraction was a maze of plastic tunnels and netting with water that would spray over the area, soaking kids as the crawled through the net area.

The attraction was eventually removed and replaced with a similar, more colorful version:

This version was removed for the 2006 addition of Elmo's World. 

Today the area is occupied by a walkway and a planter between Elmo's Cloud Chaser and Grover's World Twirl.

Sesame Beach

Sesame Beach was a beach themed play area at Sesame Place in the early days of the park.

The area featured large yellow letters (both an A and a Z), some play equipment and sand.

In an adjoining play area (that may have been considered part of Sesame Beach) there was a very small version of the ball pit and a climb on train.

There is another beach area in the park, Sand Castle Beach, which opened with Sesame Island in the early 1990s.

The attraction lasted at the park into the 2000s. I was eventually removed. It's former footprint was behind Sesame Food Factory and in front of Sesame Beach. Today the area is occupied by a walkway and a planter between Elmo's Cloud Chaser and Grover's World Twirl.
