Elephant In The Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor – Did You Know
10/5/2004

By: Tina

The 'green' elephant in the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor is NOT named Penny!! She was a fixture in the Penny Arcade in the early 90's. She came from Disneyland Paris, and she took many failed molding/kiln attempts until she came out whole and with no flaws. She was placed in their Penny Arcade but her name is LUCY because she appears to be made from LUCITE!!

If you know what a fabrication mold looks like, something like the size for Snow White's apple, the mold is as big as a moving box, but for Lucy, well it was HUGE!!
