Musical Pete, if you enjoy rides that are designed with circles and straight lines, there are plenty of Meishos in Japan that seem designed that way. Take Camel Coaster http://www.rcdb.com/id1264.htm at Nasu Highland. Personally, I enjoy the flowing curves of newer rides.

Yet, there are plenty of new coasters with straight line design, but in other countries (for instance, the Sameco company in China seems to use that style). I find it interesting that nowadays, the woodies seem to use parabolic hills only.

That picture of the Mid Way looks strange without Raptor and all the other rides that look over it.

Wow, a LOT has changed at Cedar Point.

Did anybody catch the last page? Cedar Point did serve Coke products?

Amazing! These are so cool!!!! I wonder how those two whales in that little tiny tank did anything without touching eachother....


Does anyone else remember when Mickey's Toon Town opened and they had the color changing straws and the air smelled like birthday cake?? I have a bunch of those straws tucked away in my Disney trunk!!!
