[ThemeparkhistoryI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

Hi everyone,

My name's Michael and I'm from Switzerland. I'm 16 years and of course, I am a very, very big theme park fan. I'm also very interested in the history of the parks. I collet all from the parks: Pictures, brochures, plans, posters, all merch things... Here a postcard from Coney Island.

Are you interested on (not old) postcards from european parks?

Greetings from Switzerland

Michael

MOD EDIT: I had to delete the oversized postcard. Please resize and post again, thanks

Short question, why my pics are so big?:)

Hi Michael and welcome to TPR! I am honored to have your first forum posts in my postcard thread. You have some great postcards to share already...Thanks!

For postcard image resizing, I downloaded and use a program called "Fast Image Resizer". It works great. Once you have scanned your postcard, you can drag the image over to the "Fast Image Resizer" and drop it into the program. It has many size options, but I usually use the 800x600 resolution size. Once you have the image resized and saved to your computer, then you can post it to TPR. Easy as that! You can download the free "Fast Image Resizer" here:

Thanks again for the AWESOME postcards, and please share more!

Thank you for your tap!
Here 3 cards from Movie-Park Germany in Bottrop. This park opened in 1996 as Warner Bros Movie World-Hollywood in Germany. In 2004 the park was sold and in 2005 the park re-opened with the name Movie-Park Germany, without the Warner attractions and characters...

Here in Switzerland it's now 23.30 pm. Tomorrow there will come other postcards;)! Maybe I will open an own thread with other historical things (the small "Michael's Swiss Attic" or something like this.

Well there went most of my European postcard collection. Great additions! I'll have to stick to the stateside postcards now

[thrillerman1Can you see the donkey in my toast?]

Shane I am sure you have a box of Euro postcards stashed away in some dark remote corner of your attic waiting to be discovered!

Finally got it together to start screening and posting some of the postcards I've collected through the years, and have got here around the house.

I thought I would start first with a set of cards Playland (my home park in Vancouver) came out with last year, to celebrate the 50th birthday of my park's awesome wooden coaster, named... Coaster!

It's a nice set of cards and the paper case that holds them all was appropriately 'logo-ed' for the occassion. The back of each card was the exact same, so that will be posted at the end.

Enjoy!

(And a Happy 51st to my home Coaster this season!)
