August 11, 200917 yr Ok so I have come across a few more so I will just post them here. Not sure if these have been posted, but I love old pics of the park. If they have been I am sorry and I'm sure someone will be kind enough to point it out to me along with the link. "> FROM 1974

August 11, 200917 yr Yep I dont know why its not working and hey whats that big orange thing over in coney Mall it looks like a big inflated thing.
August 11, 200917 yr I think its funny how in The Vortex picture, it says you will go through two vertical loops, one corkcrew, and one bomerang turn.
August 11, 200917 yr Author Yep I dont know why its not working and hey whats that big orange thing over in coney Mall it looks like a big inflated thing.. Thats what I thought too, it looks like a giant pillow
August 11, 200917 yr wow, did the train actually run the opposite way that it does today as the map suggest?
August 11, 200917 yr Author This brought back a ton of memories from when I was young. I remember my grandma dragging me on the Zodiac kicking and screaming. I hated it, she would get me up there and spin the car just to see me cry! I also remember driving some little remote controlled boats in the lake in Octoberfest. I also loved riding the rotor and that talking snail!
August 11, 200917 yr The pillow was the Cinema 180 theater. It was an inflated building made of rubber. You laid on the floor and watched a very dizzying movie presentation in near 3-D.

August 12, 200917 yr Huh I guess thats why they call it RiverTown casue it was built on a river. Never knew that learn something new everyday.
August 12, 200917 yr Great, vintage stuff, striker, and yes, Zodiac could at times be an instrument of torture! Were the boats in Oktoberfest's pond called "Scooby's Schooners" or were those someplace else in the park?
August 12, 200917 yr I'm mad that I missed out on all the fun! I would've ridden almost everything there. But now it's just all about "How high can you get?" "How fast can you make it?" "How thrilling is it?". I would kind of like to have an amusement park that doesn't really care about that - like Coney Island!
