Is is just me or does it seem like the lease holder
should have extended the lease on the Galleria Property or Utah Fun Dome toward
the end. Granted not a lot of people were going to the Galleria but look at the
property now. It's been a couple of different schools, a Vegas style buffet
restraunt, and now sits vacant and has for the last year. Curious what changes
were made to the inside during the last 6 years since it closed. I never
saw the Galleria in it's heyday the first time I saw it was in 1992, and again
after I moved here in 1995. I'd like to see some pics if any exist too.
Did a quick search and found the following
video
Apparently 49th street Galleria was a chain. Here's a video
from 49th street Galleria in Philly. The look is very similar. You may
want to turn down the
soundtrack.
Add pet hospital to
latest list of uses pretty sure it will either be vacant or something else by
the end of 08. Why a 200,000 sq ft pet hospital??
Sheesh?
Ok, so first things first. I ended up buying that Star Wars cabinet,
but I did manage to talk the guy down from his $700 mark a bit. I got some
hi-res shots of the cabinet and they looked great. Some of the issues I had
noticed were just due to photo compression and the like. The board had just been
serviced, so that's always a good thing. Anyway, I'm just getting shipping
quotes now, and it should be here in a little over a week, depending on the
shipping service.
Secondly, does anybody have any photos of the interior
of the 49th Street Galleria before it went downhill? I'd really like some photos
of the place, especially of the arcades and the miniature golf. My memory is a
little blurry, but I seem to remember a pretty high number of games being there,
and quite a few cockpits and sit-down versions of games. I definitely remember
playing a Star Wars cockpit there.
Oh, and to satisfy curiosity, does
anybody know where all those games ended up when that place closed down?
