Boneville City Limits
The ghost town known as Boneville, is the first scene after leaving Frontier Town. This is the only original scene that hasn't been moved.
Elopement Scene
The next scene depicts an elopement. Originally the groom hopped over the fence, while today he is climbing over it. This scene was first located after the ghost town, on the right side of the tracks before the Gemini railroad crossing.
The Music Hall
The music hall was located about where the Billy Bob's Sawmill is today. It had three skeleton band members playing instruments on the balcony, and below a billiard room. To view the music hall, scroll to the top CP&LE R.R. souvenir map. The below photo is a skeleton playing pool in the billiard room.
In the summer of 1974, someone riding one of the inbound trains to the Main Midway tossed a lit cigarette off the train. It landed near the music hall and caught surrounding brush and the scene on fire. While the scene wasn't completely engulfed by the fire, it was severely damaged. The scene was thus torn down, and was later replaced in the late 1990s with Billy Bob's Sawmill.

Hawkins Moonshine still.
Railroad construction scene
This scene replaced the bandit animatronics in the 1970s. Originally the track they used for the display was a part of the old inbound mainline.
Mr. Possum and his Polecat Pickers
Originally called Mr. Bones and his Gut-Bucket Syncopators, the scene was located in front of where Professor Delbert's Frontier Fling is. The scene's name later changed to Mr. Possum and his Polecat Pickers in the 1980s and received upgraded fully animated animatronics. When shoot the Rapids was built in 2009-2010, the scene was moved to its current standing location.
Hotel and Saloon fire
The fire scene was originally a Wells Fargo building which used life like animatronics. This scene was located on the right hand side of the tracks near approximately where Cedar Jct. and Cinnabon is today. The current Boneville Skeleton fire scene was built sometime after 1970, when the line was relocated to its configuration today.
The current day fire animatronics.
Bandits
The Bandit Hill and barn was located about where Panda Express is today. The sheriff riding on the train would shoot back at them. They would deputize kids and were given badges and cap guns.
