This wooden structure was built for ‘The Great Outdoors’ with John Candy and Dan Ackroyd (1988) and was also featured in ABC’s ‘Coach’. It’s believed it was first built at Jaws Lake, was then moved to old Falls Lake (see plan below), where the ‘Jurassic Park III’ Site B set still stands behind the ‘War of the Worlds’ plane crash site set. It was then moved to Falls Lake, presumably when the Jurassic Park III sets were built. It remained there until 2022, when it was moved back to the old Falls Lake location, after the Jurassic Park III sets were finally removed (they’d been run-down / partially collapsed for many years), to make room for Jupiter’s Claim sets.
