Well it is that time of year again. Time to open up the attic and pull out some of the great stuff I have saved over the years.

What an exciting summer I had. For those of you that aren't aware, I opened up a small waterpark in Draper UT. I say small, but it does feature the world'd largest water play structure. I am pleased to say we had a very successful season and our guests really enjoyed their experience at Cowabunga Bay. (check out this thread if you are interested in knowing more about Cowabunga Bay)

Summer also brought for me three great weeks of TPR coasting across Asia. I had the best time travelling through China and North Japan with some great coaster friends. While China was an exciting place to visit I must admit that Japan is my favorite place in the world!!!! I love this place and being able to travel out to the boonies of Japan to ride some very unique coasters was an experince I will never forget.

So enough about me lets get started with Season 3 of Shane's Amusement Attic. While in Japan we stayed at the new Tokyo Disneyland Hotel and spent three days at Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, two of the GREATEST theme parks in the entire world!!! So I thought I would start this season off with some Disney stuff.

Over the next couple of days I will share with you some early souvenir books from each of the Disney parks. First off, let's start with the original Disney Park (Chris, this is "your park"). Here is a souvenir book from 1978. You gotta love the old Tomorrowland and Fantasyland and also Frontierland without Big Thunder.

Hope you all enjoy season 3. Keep the comments coming!!!

Great start to season 3, Shane. There's nothing like seeing souvenir books from the theme park that started it all.

God...even though I boycotted the Mouse for years (long story...and boring as well) I see pictures of late 70s Disneyland and still think ' wow! what a photogenic and visually-captivating experience..' esp. Tomorrowland. Space Mountain was so unreal then, as well as the rockets and the PeopleMover 3000 (3000?)...Sure, you could go down the road and ride the Revolution, the Gold Rusher and Colossus, but Tomorrowland just seemed lightyears cooler..

Also, love the Matterhorn/Monorail/20,000 Leagues shot in the booklet.
Thanks as always Shane Taiko Happy

Glad you are back and what a great a report! I am almost positive my parents have this book and I remember looking at it when I was younger!

Thanks!
