Back in the day I recall several “Kodak photo spots” around the park. Clever, appropriate, subtle.  For anyone bore as old as me, Kodak was probably the biggest consumer brand of cameras and photography.  

I wouldn't be surprised if WWC gets axe'd. Other parks like Kentucky Kingdom and Holiday World have been getting rid of their rapids rides and WWC doesn't seem to be that popular of a ride.

Columbia Carousel at SFGAm- Chef's kiss.

Does anyone feel like White Water Canyon is on the chopping block?  I don't want to see it go, but I admit I have not ridden on it for years.  I do not like having wet clothes walking around the park. I believe it is a high maintenance cost ride and it is 40 years old now.  Have the lines been low the past couple of years??

The ones where you can still grab the ring are special. I've been on three. 1) Grand Carousel – Knoebel's (Elysburg, PA) – 1913 Kremer's Carousel Works. They also have a carousel museum with horses and other collectibles saved from long-gone carousels.  2) Balboa Park Carousel – Balboa Park (San Diego, CA right next to San Diego Zoo) – 1910 Herschell-Spillman. This one is probably the best, it's a menagerie Carousel (many other animals other than horses). 3) Flying Horses – Martha's Vinyard, MA – c. 1876 Dare. The oldest carousel in the country. It is primitive by modern standards but it is truly a piece of history. It used to be powered by steam when it was first built. * Honorable mention: Cedar Downs – Cedar Point, Sandusky, OH – 1921 Prior & Church Derby Racer. This is one of two left in the country. Put broadly, any carousel built before 1930 if kept up well, is really nice and anything after that pales in comparison.
