Shane's Amusement Attic

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

Shane, you wouldn't have anything on Astroworld in your attic?

OMG do I have stuff on AstroWorld??? TONS! but it is going to take me awhile to scan it all in (actually I have to give credit where it is do, my assistant Trey is doing all the scanning for me, shout out to him)

It will be coming soon in an update to this thread along with more ride catalogs, Stuff on MM Colossus (1978) Orient Express (1980), Steel Phantom and so much other cool stuff.

Here is something to wet your appetite for AstroWorld, The most flamboyant park character ever created...Marvel Mc Fey

[DenDenFabulously FIERCE!]

I can't believe none of the older people brought this up yet...

Does anyone remember the Steve Miller Band video "Living in the USA"?

It was filmed at Barnum and Baily's Circus World. Originally, the "video" was just part of "Wild Rides", hosted by Matt Dillon. They decided to make the video the official music video for the song, and it played on MTV in it's early days.

Unfortunately, I cannot find any youtube clips of this.

(Edit: Actually, it looks like Parque Espana's Don Quioxte has had one too many chemical cocktails, hee hee hee.)

Wow! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I first went to Kings Island way back in 1991, so I guess I missed getting on THE BAT. Of course, two years after my first visit, Kings Island added TOP GUN, which I didn't get to ride until 1999.

This begs the question: If Cedar Point is dropping all Paramount logos and licenses, will TOP GUN be renamed? Could this ride be renamed THE BAT?

^^It's interesting to see that Vekoma made one.

I love the "Double Coaster" advert. im assuming the reference of Interama SA is refering to Vertigorama at what is now Parque de la Ciudad in Argentina.

Not a great reference as the ride never opened and has sat rusting ever since it was built

I thought that it never had "the electrical system finished" according to rcdb.com yet the picture shows the ride running So Intamin owned Giovanola? AND they owned Scwarzkopf's intellectual property?
