Call the Hardy Boys in a new game and wait for the first dialogue to finish. (Joe: So what's going on?)
In the original, Nancy is able to ask "I haven't been out to the park yet ... Any suggestions?"
In ScummVM, that option is missing. (Note that a very similar "Any suggestions as to my next move?" option is present in both.)
(For all I know, this is actually a bug in the original. The responses from Frank and Joe kind of imply familiarity with the amusement park, as if I've already entered it.)

This was a mistake in the dialog logic extracted into nancy.dat. Please download the newly generated nancy.dat

Okay, after meeting Harlan and playing a couple games at Midway, the conversation option appeared. But now, Nancy has the option to say both "I'm in the park" and "I haven't been to the park yet" LOL.
Here are save files and screenshot (left original, right ScummVM) calling Hardy Boys where I've done the exact same activities in each (except in the original, I already did the "Haven't been to the park" conversation earlier, when I was in the hotel at the beginning of the game).
