Gary's 2013 TPR Mexico Tour Trip Report
thrillerman1 replied to carolinacaniac's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Love this TR so far. Can't wait to see more. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
thrillerman1 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wait...are we sure this is in America? GK looks incredibly European, but I'm not exactly sure why. I think it might be because it reminds me of a very progressive piece of modern architecture in addition to being a coaster. -
Why Does Everybody Hate on Six Flags?
thrillerman1 replied to eltororider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Man I was incredibly fortunate to have a really informal lunch with Jay at SFKK a few years ago, and I was totally blown away. The man is seriously the real deal, and more parks would be blessed to have a guy like him as their GM. Is he no longer with SF? -

Mark's Postcard Paradise

To wrap up March Magic Week, I'll conclude with Magic Mountain in 1978! Thanks for checking out my thread. Love the wizard and trolls, and notice the Colossus stamp...new for '78! Thank you to the 1978 MM publicity department if you happen to ever see this. I love this retro art. View of the plaza before it got cluttered. Revolution in all its early glory. Check out the Colossus model! I need a bigger scanner. I love the little troll. Revolution minus OTSR'S!!! Said it before and say it again...more parks need to bring back cable car rides. Spillikin Corners sounds a bit like Dollywood's Craftsman's Valley now. -

Magic Springs circa 1981...I still haven't made it to this park. One day? Oh no look out dancers...ROARING TORNADO ON FIRE! There's that Sky Hook ride again that we've seen at Dollywood and SFOG earlier in this thread. Is it the same one? Hey Elitch Gardens -
TPR's Mexico Tour Mini Updates

That actually didn't look too bad..compared to Goudurix. Well seriously it looked fairly ok and not too painful. At least no one died. -

Here's Magic Harbor in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which according to RCDB had an Arrow Corkscrew coaster in 1975 that later moved to the Myrtle Beach Pavilion and is now operating in Colombia. Jolly Jolly Shout outs to the Brit Crew! King Charles' Pub...well at least they themed one thing Magic Mountain East Coast style? -
Mt. Baker looks phenomenal. I would absolutely love to ski here someday. Great photos too. Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to more of this thread!

Good Eating Outside of Theme Parks
thrillerman1 replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is a great idea, Chuck! Just a thought...could an index be created here on the first page? I think it would help people to find local eats a lot easier than digging through the inevitable 40 + pages to find that special place to eat outside Beech Bend or in the Dells for example. Maybe organize it by park/location. And blueberry pancakes with bacon...YES!!! -
Mark's Postcard Paradise
thrillerman1 replied to thrillerman1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's time for something new at the Paradise and probably the only time I'll ever do this...March Magic Week. I'll be sharing some old brochures (sorry no postcards) from parks with MAGIC in their name this week. I've dug deep into my collection and hope you all enjoy this. First up is defunct Magic Valley in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. According to RCDB this park closed in the late 1980's. I never got to visit...anyone ever go here? -
The Acroplane - Venice Pier Flat Ride
thrillerman1 replied to Wags's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's some great old footage...thanks for sharing. This airplane ride looks even more sick than Lake Winnie's. -

I like the uniforms. I wonder if Tim Burton designed them. -

Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
thrillerman1 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think I had read that HW would start testing the Timberliners in March, and since we're almost halfway through the month, is there any update?
