The Interpreter Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 A paint job would be nice, too. Who knows where that may lead? 2 Quote
Vortex Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I could see The Racer painted white, but not red and blue. Quote
rotag Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 paint can change alot. look at Invertigo... Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I could see The Racer painted white, but not red and blue. Although you cannot see the red and blue, many of us have...... Quote
Vortex Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I also saw The Racer red and blue,but do not think they will paint it those colors. Quote
standbyme Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 ^It took me awhile to see that you were posting a shot of King Cobra...all I kept seeing was those sweet mullets! Quote
jandyb79 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 ^It took me awhile to see that you were posting a shot of King Cobra...all I kept seeing was those sweet mullets! And all I could see in photo #54 was legs 3 Quote
KIfan73 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Photo #54 In this age of giant flat rides, can you imagine what kind of slide that would be installed now? Quote
Jasper Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Loving the old photos of ride queue areas and the shots of King Cobra. Some shots from the older Paramount days would be really nice as well. Quote
nhimes90 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Photo #54 This used to be one of my favorite rides as a kid. Thanks again for posting all the pics. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 That slide seemed so tall to a three-year-old in 1972...... 1 Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Photo #57- Action Zone Media Day 1999 - and notice the "Stunt Show" around the water tower 2 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 How many years did they do the Stunt Show? Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Years? Just a few weeks. It was a shoot 'em up show. In a theme park. Then Columbine happened. A few weeks later, the show quietly disappeared. 1 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Ah! I didn't think it lasted to long, but I thought it lasted longer than a few weeks. Interesting. Thank you for the information. Quote
kingsrattler Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I'd post something clever, but it's only funny once... Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I would love pics of phantom theater if you can find any Quote
KIfan73 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Skylab was a really fun ride. Are there any giant Skylab rides? Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 ^Cedar Point has Witches Wheel Photo #59 - Phantom Theater Quote
PKIVortex Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Witches Wheel is not the same model of enterprise that Skylab was. Skylab had much bigger cars then what Witches Wheel as Cedar Point has. Quote
standbyme Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Photo #59 - Phantom Theater It appears that this photo was taken at the exact second when she received her pink slip informing her that she would no longer be working at Phantom Theater and was being reassigned to some kind of outdoor job. 2 Quote
standbyme Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 ^That is amazing...I wish I would have gotten to see that in person. 1 Quote
medford Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 wow, that is a line for the slide... as a society, we were really hard-up for thrill rides back in the day. if it were there today, that number of people represented in the above picture would likely be the annual tally/count. There's a slide in that pic? I can't get past the bottom right. 2 Quote
diamondhawk Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 That is an amazing picture. Possibly my favorite. Quote
vortexfan Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Skylab was a really fun ride. Are there any giant Skylab rides? Canada's Wonderland still operates their Huss Skylab. Photo #60 [...] Never got to experience this in person, but it looks amazing. I'm curious to know what the mess was like under the tower when the show was over.... Quote
