Glad some folks seemed to like the pics and thanks for the compliments. Here are some more completely random shots. I have a boatload of these. Just never have the time to scan them all in.
A look at Kennywood's Chance Rotor, which was one of the nicer park installations I've seen. Not sure when it was removed, but it is now at Lake Compounce.
Before the days of Garfield, Kennywood had some unusual characters including this fellow- Jeeters.
While not the best picture, this was a view of Busch Gardens Williamsburg's Sea Dragon, a very nicely themed Mack Sea Storm with a cool fountain in the center of the ride.
If you look real close, you can see Drachen Fire rising in the distance. Picture taken in 1992.
My final Drachen Fire picture was taken on the ride's entry path in its opening season.
The Maestro greets visitors to Kings Island's Phantom Theater. Picture taken in 1992.
A 1987 shot of Kings Island's King Cobra.
I always thought Waldameer's Chance Carousel looked better before all of the games and souvenir stands popped up around the pavilion. Picture taken in 1996.
A completely random shot (I tend to take pictures like Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man") of Six Flags Great America's Demon and Rolling Thunder. The Orbit is also visible. Photo taken in 1994.
A rather grainy picture of Kentucky Kingdom's Thunder Run taken in 1992. Not sure what was going on with all of the construction.
The late Raging Wolf Bobs, here seen in 1989 before it received its white paint job.
A nicely maintained Mack Matterhorn at a now-defunct amusement park in Aurora, OH. Picture taken in 1986.
While Disneyland's sign just screams "seventies", this picture was taken in 1988.
A horrible picture of Disneyland's Matterhorn Bobsleds, showing the Skyway passing through the mountain. Also taken in 1988.
And I'll end this update with a shot into the 100 degree Valencia sun at the entrance to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Photo taken in 1988.
Thanks again for checking these out-
