Remember going to the McDonalds in my hometown back when it had an outdoor playground

This was before the “PlayPlace” mini-Chuck E. Cheese ball pit-and-crawling-tubes structures, though it did get one of those later

It did have a room glassed off specifically for birthday parties, I wonder if the opening of the local “Adventure Zone” (w/ a ball pit and crawling zone structure with ziplines and county fair trailer/American Gladiators stuff like swinging pillar bags) cut into that

It had Fry Guy versions of those riding ponies that attached to the ground through a big spring, I think? Or maybe they were just imagineered static statues

The one thing it definitely had was an Officer Big Mac climbing… thing, it was a central metal tube with a ladder up to a barred-in viewing platform

Anyway I loved that because I’d climb the rung ladder and instead of going to the platform I’d hang on the top rung and bang my head upwards on a metal plate to make this deep “GONNNNG” sound
