Thanks for the concern. The green train did bother me once I noticed it...when I took the photo I was concentrating so much on where it should be I overlooked the obvious! I like today’s 1974 photo because it has a nice angle of the skyride...a ride I do miss. I have another shot of the outside of the station in another photo set...but it is straight on with the “cars/buckets” as they are coming out...so I enjoyed this shot a lot when I saw it. 1974 I can’t get enough of this shot...it looks like such a good time...and the station looks so well themed. I was young when I rode this...but I can still remember the excitement of waiting for our turn to board...and having to board quickly! EDIT:The 2011 shot is WAY off...it is of the sister station that was located in Oktoberfest! 2011 Until it was mentioned on this site a long time ago, I never realized that this skyride station was in fact still in the park. (I told you I wasn’t “Mr. Observant”. ) I find it interesting that the park appeared to keep the same kind of a tree in about the same location. (I doubt it is the same exact tree...but I didn’t check to see how big the trunk was while I was there.) So where would I rather be today? If I base it solely on what I can see in the photos ( ) I easily choose 1974...God knows...and so does anyone here who in the past has heard me whine about Snoopy being in the park...I don’t need any Peanuts merchandise! EDIT: Now that I know that this is not the Planet Snoopy station, I switch my vote for 2011...assuming that Adventure Express would be visible in the photo! Thanks for all of the great comments (and “Likes”) over the last few days!

So you like seeing the animals ignore the rides? Terpy, who is glad the dolphins don't ride Kraken! Wet seats! (yep, he's working all week folks!)

Out of however many of these pictures, only making one mistake is really good! Thanks again J.D. for all of your hard work.

No. Keep both!

I don't think he meant that on porpoise.

I agree with you 100%. Now that I have studied your photo & mine it is definitely in Oktoberfest...the pine tree near the doorway and the weeping willow tree are perfect in the photo I posted. I can't believe that I didn't even think of this! So...should I change the title of the thread...or delete these photos.

Great pictures, even if it was a minor error ( I can not judge whether it was or not) I will say that judging from the theme of the building, it does look like it would belong in Oktoberfest. I can't thank you enough for the enjoyment you give me from my little breaks away from work to look at your pictures.

touche' The Beastie eh...you're raising your little one right!

Ah...another Monday is here...and Christmas is only seven days away! 1974 It’s little things in some of these photos that I like sometimes...in this case I like seeing the boy trying to run so he doesn’t miss the train...which i’m sure was a lot bigger deal then than it is today. (Unless you were just heading to Boomerang Bay.) 2011 I think I am on the money with this shot...although I could be off by a couple of feet. With all of the umbrellas & the bushes and the fence it was tough to see much. I based my location on the wooden lamp post in the center which appeared to be original. So where would I rather be today? I don’t think there’s much doubt that the train ride was way cooler back in 1974 than now. (Politically incorrect for sure...but fun just the same.) I do thank the park immensely though for still keeping the train around...it is one of the most relaxing things to do in the park...and a godsend to any parent who needs to sit down while still keeping a toddler occupied.

As long as, years from now, the next owner doesn't try to install Son of Wave Pool--it'll throw you for a loop!
