^ I LOVE to see parks lit up at night! Too often these days it seems that parks close before it gets really good and dark.

^^ Seriously Shawn. We need to plan another meetup...preferably on a TPR extravaganza!

^^^ Oh and how could I forget the swinging ship at Aqua Stadium Shane. It really was amazing looking...almost as if it were made out of crystal. Yes that one is the most gorgeous one I have ever seen as well.

Space Mountain

Postby montezooma » Thu Mar 26, 2009 6:28 am

And now for something completely different. The original Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom in Orlando. I am interested to see how the new version turns out. Hopefully it will be as good as Disneyland's remodel.

^ CLASSIC! I'd totally forgotten that SM was getting a redo. Unfortunately I haven't been to WDW since about 1989, but I think that will all change once a neighboring park opens a certain new section.

Does anyone remember the 1980's Los Angeles band, The Long Ryders, and their almost hit song, "Looking for Lewis and Clark"? No I didn't think so, but apparently they should've been at Holiday World...

I just did the 1980 brochure for Six Flags over Texas so I thought I would post this postcard from the park featuring the Texas Chute Out...one of the most clever names in the industry!!!

I'm thinking you should join some friends (Divv, Lou, Andrew, etc...) and I in Orlando for Halloween/Potterland in 2010!

The Beast...how good was this ride back when it first opened? I loved the old trains and no brakes on the first drop! Riding this coaster the first time I rode it in 1979 is a coaster memory I will never forget!

WOW cycamps...really awesome cards! I especially like the Riverview card. That main entrance was quite iconic.
