Very cool to see more of these retro Photo TRs. I think the only thing I recognized from my one and only trip to Frontier City back in 1985 was the log flume ride. I see that they moved the Galaxie credit into a building. If you want to see what the coaster looked like in its original loaction click onto my Frontier City 1985 Retro Photo TR here:

Yeah it's real cool to see these. I actually wanted to make the same trip, only problem was I only had so many days off work and one place to stay (with the old man in Springfield, MO) so it ended up only being SDC and WOF thanks to CC being closed...blah!
