Shane's Amusement Attic

[giscoStarbucks Enthusiast]

I'm amazed after all this time you still have stuff to post. It is much appreciated Shane!

[montezooma"Can I get clamshells out of this ATM?"]

Yes, I do have quite the collection. As a kid I was obsessed with any information I could get my hands on that had anything to do with theme parks. I was fortunate my father was somewhat in the business and that afforded me a lot of opportunities to go to trade shows, meet people in the industry and get back stage inside looks at parks. I also have to thank my Mom who was wise enough not to throw away all my boxes when I left home for college. She put them all up in the "attic" knowing someday I would want to look through it all again...Thanks Mom!

Here is a continuing look at the IAAPA Manual and Guide.

[adamico2I'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

I would have loved to have ridden Colossus in its original state. As always, this is great nostalgia, Shane.

Shane, Do you have any Roller Coaster/ Amusement Park Specials?

[KickTheSkyI Love Donkeys!]

Shane,

Love this thread, as always.

I know it's midwest, but did you ever get into any Riverview (Chicago) stuff? Obviously one of the true classics, with a lot of amazing rides for the time, I just wonder if you ended up hoarding, errr collecting, any of that park's information?

Great stuff, as always, easily the best thread on this website.

Shane, Do you have any Roller Coaster/ Amusement Park Specials?

Yes, there are actually quite a few roller coaster & amusement park special as well as old park commercials all posted within this thread. It may help you to go to page one and go through the index. I have not been the best at keeping it up to date lately but you should be able to find some good viewing under Shane’s Retro VCR section of the index.

Thanks and thanks and unfortunately No. I never went to the park and it was a little before my time and so I don’t have any park material on it either.

Here is more from the IAAPA Guide. Part 3

[simon8899I wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

The "Espada" bumpercars are still running on older rides here.

Read through most of this thread for countless hours last night and continued this morning. Enjoyed it so much I had to get an account to tell you! Hope Shane's Amusement Attic never ends!
