    Python at Busch Gardens "The Dark Continent"

    Busch Gardens "The Dark Continent" Here is an old souvenir book from Busch Gardens "The Dark Continent" The park sure has changed over the years. One of the parks that truly gets better every year. Here is a map from 1978

    I like all these new contributors. Keep them coming. Here are some classic looking postcards from Dreamland in Margate, England

    Well there went most of my European postcard collection. Great additions! I'll have to stick to the stateside postcards now

    Now that you mention Nauta Bussink I am pretty sure that was the booth this model was displayed at. How come no one has come up with a list of defunct rides from the V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N video...let me get you started. Worlds of Fun: Orient Express Cedar Point: White Water Landing Dorney Park: Flying Dutchman

    V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N If you are like me today you are sitting at home, in frezzing cold weather, reading theme park review and jonesing for the coaster season to begin. It's called the off-season blues. Well here is a little something to lift your spirits and get you excited for summer V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N. See how many rides or attractions you can name that are no longer around [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=ext_3boh[/coastertube]

    This thread has it all: - Great Coaster Photos - Controversy - Humor - Age Discrimination - Homophobia - hidden Wizard of Oz messages and I bet if you read it backwards you will hear the devil. I smell another top 10 thread!

    They both look better than they originally did. Re-branding and re-marketing these existing rides is BRILLIANT. Who ever instigated this program deserves one of those bonuses they are giving out on wall st.

    Here's another one from Six Flags Elitch Gardens. I never understood the addition of this coaster. To have an Arrow Shuttle Loop and Vekoma Boomerang in the same park seems a little redundant. just simply Boomerang at least they didn't give this coaster the horrific name of Boomerang: Coast to Coaster.

    God how old are you Restoca???? 98?
  12. montezooma
    I don't think it could have been arrow...they were long gone before the inverteds came about. ...actually I think the inverted coaster was the final nail in their coffin

    Enough said....

    Well you just never know what you will find up in my amusement attic. I just came across this interesting find. How many times have we all designed this exact coaster in Roller Coaster Tycoon? This model was on display at one of the IAAPA shows, but I am not sure whose booth it was in. I think it would have made an interesting ride. A lot of great amusement ideas never make it off the drawing board to the parks.

    That is a great find. Thanks for posting it. I always have a soft spot in my heart for the Arrow shuttle loops. I heard the reason the Roaring Tornado was removed from Magic Springs was because of low ridership. People were too afraid to ride it at the time. The park didn't get the return on their investment they had expected and had to sell it to cover the cost of the install.

    Mark they have one of those at Kennywood. It is one of the best flats around!!! major air

    I must admit that the new colors look nice and new paint is much needed on that ride, but I don't think the colors fit the name of the ride at all. I think colors of coasters should some how relate to the images that the name conjures up. I think they just went for the "in your face approach" rather than trying create a "experience" that the name and ride should deliver. Carolina Cobra is another example of this. The colors in no way relate to Carolina or a Cobra. They just picked some bright colors that really stand out. I'm just saying....

    They used to also have one of these at World of Fun in the Aerodrome section. I think it was called Wing Ding
  19. montezooma
    ^ WOW there is something NEW I just learned. I never even noticed that turntable loading station. What a great way to operate a two train coaster. They should do this type of loading system more often. Thanks for pointing that out

    Joey are you telling me that Disney worked with Pinfari on those two projects? I had never heard that. I am still trying to understand why Disney would go to Pinfari to build them a coaster...but then I look at those lame spinners at Animal Kingdom and Crush at the Paris Studios and there seems to be no wisdom in Disney coasters. Thanks everyone for the kids words on this thread. I do enjoy sharing my collection and appreciate when there are great comments and stimulating discussion about each and every post, plus I always end up learning something (ie Pinfari & Disney...I am still stumped by that)

Here are a couple early catalogs from the Italian Coaster manufacturer Pinfari. another Looper...ouch! Powered A loop and intense pain are introduced Another catalog Big Mike will travel thousands of miles out of his way to get these credits choose your style Pinfari Coaster Catalog

    A postcard from the beloved Six Flags Elitch Gardens. The relocated Sidewinder from the original Elitch Gardens. Originally relocated from Magic Springs where it was known as the Roaring Tornado. This is the only Arrow Shuttle Loop with the simple loop supports rather than the typical lattice structure.
  23. montezooma
    I might as well post these other ones at the same time. They are also from Nagashima Spa Land
  24. montezooma
    Here is a unique postcard from Nagashima Spa Land. I bought this on my wonderful Japan TPR trip. I can't wait to go back
  25. montezooma
    No, No, No...it was Superman at California's Great America that was the first Inverted coaster.
