I remember going to Lakeside when I was maybe 5 or 6. I'm 55 now. My dad's job had their company picnic there. About the only thing I can remember is riding a wild mouse ride with my Dad, and looking at the wooden roller coaster and my dad telling me it was too dangerous to ride, that someone was killed on it. I remember the "laughing lady", and it creeped me out. I used to think the first coaster I ever rode was the one at Lesourdsville, but after reading this post, I realized I rode one way before that. Still love roller coasters, and never thought I'd love one as much as The Beast untill I rode Diamondback this year. Thanks for the post and links, Titan.
