what is that old parabolic dish for in the NY Renaissance Faire parking lot?

Question

I've seen this for years. In the main NY Renaissance Fair parking lot, at the far end, sits an old, rusting and silent parabolic dish. I've wondered what this thing is for years now and am dying to find out. For a photo, check my blog post for 09/11/06 -> http://zero2fifty.typepad.com

Thanks,

Perhaps its used to implant 'i need mead and giant turkey legs' into unsuspecting tuxedioans and their visitors.
