rcwizard13 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 ^ I think that's slightly pushing the limits on "throwback." 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandyb79 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I worked at the park the park the summer that exhibit was running, but I never had time to check it out. I recall it being air conditioned, and my friends liked it for that reason alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Another gem found in the old phone photos on my computer... This was taken August 24th, 2009 - just over 4 months after Diamondback opened. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Does that really count as throwback? ^ 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum91 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 ^What year are the Winterfest pictures from? It's extremely challenging to estimate the date when it's just International Street shown, and all I can figure is 1982-1993... the span of Winterfest.

flightoffear1996 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 They are from 1985 according to our family photo album. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That same picture could have been taken last year, and probably next year as well. Which is why you had to state it was from 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 When I think of throwback Im thinking 10 years or more ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Or how about a rare (albeit blurry) look at the former Phantom Theater buggies passing by the "Pepper's Ghost" portion of the attraction. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum91 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Fantastic photos, Shaggy! Thanks so much for sharing. Two comments for two of the photos: For King Cobra's demolition, it's interesting to see how carefully the ride appeared to have been dismantled, especially when compared to recent demolitions like Kentucky Kingdom's Greezed Lightnin (if the linked picture doesn't make it clear, the ride was practically torn apart in a non-salvageable way). Kings Island must've been more careful with KC, as they had the coaster on the market for several years after its removal. Regarding the Phantom Theater picture, I feel as though the ride is well remembered and dearly missed by most members of the enthusiast community, but that specific scene (the Pepper's Ghost Effect) seems to be forgotten. I find it interesting to note that BBOBH's library room was built over top where the Pepper's Ghost Effect scene was. The PGE room was substantially lower than the library is, so I've always wondered whether there remains a basement of sorts down there. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 For people who weren't around during Phantom Theater what was the effect? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Peppers ghost. http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Peppers-Ghost-Illusion/ It's not the exact procedure used.... the glass wasn't at 45 degrees, but perpendicular. The "ghosts" were above you with ambient light that reflected on them casting a reflection from a large pane of glass in front of you. This gave the impression of the ghost performers were in the Phantom Theater. The process is still in use in Disney's Haunted Mansion in the ballroom sequence. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
