Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech <<The previous map of Tom Sawyer island was always available as long as they kept the holder filled.>> Was it ever filled in the past 15 years? I'm in my late 20s and while I didn't frequent TSI, I never saw those maps. When I was told they used to be quite easy to come by I assumed it must have been phased out before my time. The new maps are printed on really nice heavy glossy paper. If anything I would expect this to change to something cheaper first (which wouldn't be too terrible) and then to be phased out. Hopefully it does last a while, as one of those little free treasures that used to be found around the park.

Anyhoo... my niece has an AP now; I'll have to ask her to get me one of the new ones.

I'm inclined to trust Dug as I know his research into the subject would have been pretty exhaustive, and since i've looked myself (at least for the last 10 years or so) I'm fairly certain that the maps haven't been available.
Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech CM's took it upon themselves to make a map of the Jungle Cruise. The artwork is nice but it's been printed pretty cheaply. Nonetheless it's an interesting little item. CM's pass them out to children but I'm sure an adult could get one if they ask nicely.
