The Interpreter Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 A paint job would be nice, too. Who knows where that may lead? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I also saw The Racer red and blue,but do not think they will paint it those colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted February 27, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted February 27, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavarianBeatle Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 That slide seemed so tall to a three-year-old in 1972...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongliveKingsCobra Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 How many years did they do the Stunt Show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 27, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted February 27, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted February 29, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted February 29, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medford Posted March 1, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortexfan Posted March 1, 2012 Share 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....
