Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 7:02 am

Here you can post images, videos and street view links (since street view is now available inside many theme parks and zoos) of said crossings. Full scale signals and trains are also welcome if they are located inside one of these public attractions. I'll start off:

For some reason these gates have netting attached to them:
