Shane's Amusement Attic

[RidesloverDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

You have a great collection in your attic.

I have a many old Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm collection in my Den Room.

I have one fiberglass Wacky Soapbox Racer that I won from ebay three years as well I have a two piece of windjammer surf racer track one yellow and one red that knott's berry farm gave it to me.

[SeaWhippetYummy! I just ate donkey!]

Shane, love the latest offerings from your attic! Since our collections mirror each other (for the most part), I had to dig wayyyyy into the far reaches of my own attic to find something I don't think you've seen before.

These are NAD brochures I mentioned earlier in this thread. They came to me in 1976 from NAD founder Aurel Vaszin, just before he died. They appear to be MUCH older than that, though. I am guessing they're from the 50s.

There's one page I am still trying to find that shows the Mexico City Racer under construction. I'll upload it later.

Much like Hitchcock did in his films, Vaszin had the habit of placing himself making cameos in publicty shots. I pointed out one instance.

And, BTW, I think YOU are far older than me!

Cheers,
Scott

Kings Island will never be that awesome again. Kennywood is one of the only parks that is improving. But after it has been sold, who knows if it will stay that way.

A question on Kennywood and the maps- when did they add that skyride to the upper parking level? My favorite free attraction at the park!

I was looking at all your guys GREAT collection. Thanks for posting all your pics. I have a ton of old Disneyland stuff along with parts from old rides. It's always fun to stroll down memory lane.

Shane..wow. Just wow. The last time I caught this thread was when it was on page 12. You have an amazing amount of park memorabilia and information! I try not to "overshare" because I'm legendary for it, but I have to share something that happened when I was reading the old Six Flags material. (No, I didnt see God, but Elvis says hi.)
Anyway, I have had massive memory problems since the 80's and if I dont have a picture of it, I just dont remember much..of anything. I was reading the Six Flags and Magic Mountain posts, and for the first time in deecades, I was flooded with memories: Big Bend, Shockwave, Greased Lightnin, Judge Roy! (still one of my all-time faves), Runaway Mine Train, etc. I hadn't remembered..actually remembered most of these things in almost 23 years. I can't say how I felt after as it's kind of mushy and, well..you know.
Anyway, I agree with whomever said this is the greatest thread ever, because it is. Better than "syphilis at the ghetto fair", better than Robb having orgasms on El Toro, even better than the infamous llama incident.
It's not often you read something online or off that brings back memories you thought were lost over 20 years ago.

Thank you!

Sorry. Forgot something. (There's a surprise...) If you have already done something for Marriott's Great America (I can NOT call it Paramount or Six Flags, etc. it just seems...rapishly wrong), then ignore this. If you havent, I'd like to ask a favor. No one outside my age bracket that I know off offline believes that there was a Willard's Whizzer or that the Demon is the upgraded version of the Turn of the Century. If you could include that in your MGA post, I would like to rub it in..er...show them I'm not as loopy as they think.

Thanks!
