Mark's Postcard Paradise

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

Also we need more contributers in here so everyone come on...show us what's in your collection!

Agreed! Restoca has some great postcards, so does Mark...and yes I post here every now and then, but I sure would think that there would be a lot more contributors to this thread. It doesn't take much to scan in a post card and post it on here to share with us.

I encourage those of you that have a post card collection, no matter how small or large, to share them with us. This can be an even better thread if we get some more contributers... Now get scanning!

Here is a great old card from Cedar Point.

When I get some free time I post some of my old 80's and 90's Kings Island post cards.

Mexico City was incredible, there will be a trip report that will come soon with all the details. Unfortunately both parks I visited did not have any post cards, believe me I looked everywhere. So for the time being you will have to do with this one... Frontier City, my old home park when I worked for Six Flags.

Boy I am on a roll tonight...here is one more.

Can you believe the Busch company ever had an "off-the-shelf carnival type ride?" Well it did, and it was Glissade.

Shane is The Edge postcard from the Santa Clara park?

[thrillgeekNo longer TPR's Rock Band expert!]

I love all of these post cards! I just wish I had some to share. Oh and I hate to answer for other people but I believe it is from the Santa Clara park. ^

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

Yeah it is from the Santa Clara park. It was located where the go-kart tracck is now.

Here's a So Cal gem: Harry Traver's beautiful Cyclone Racer, which operated from 1930 until it was closed in 1968. Anyone here ever ride it?

There was an episode of Leave It To Beaver that featured this ride and the Beaver's anxiety about being expected to ride it with his older brother and friends. I'm guessing that was filmed in the 50s.

I had heard of it, but never seen the footage in this youtube clip from 1936. There is an intro explaining exactly what it is. I...

In the photo on this card it looks like some of the wood is unpainted. And I'm suspicious of the blank spot to the left. There was a large midway in that area which should be visable in this shot. Looks like it's been retouched/removed here. (See the only photo in the rcdb link above.)

^ Funny video! Love those old Hollywood stunt effects. It does make me wonder how some of it was filmed as parts of it look like they were actually filmed on ride and look fairly dangerous. Craziness!

It was obviously before my time, however my dad told me how he rode it on its final day of operation in 1968. He described it was very rough and rickety. He's lucky to have such a rare credit, so it's too bad he's not an enthusiast.
