The windows are in place on the four tents, though paving Dream Street has not yet begun. Construction of the Carousel does not seem to have started yet.
  As opening day approaches, Dream Street has been paved, and the canvas arches have been placed around the windows of the tent buildings.   The four tents served as the parks main gift shops while the front gate was still located at the end of Dream Street.
