In the Magic Pagoda I think I remember a black light lit alley with Day-Glo colored laundry hanging between the apartment buildings...Or was that a different attraction with some sorta zany ethnic neighborhood tenament theme?. The Pagoda seemed sort of lame compared to Disneyland stuff ("Tragic Pagoda" is fitting), but the dragon room was my first exposure to a strobe light and I love strobe lights to this very day. So relaxing. (At the motel we stayed in near Magic Mountain I saw my first cockroach ever...California seemed so exotic!)
