3 months later, here are a few more. Libertyland's Carousel was one of the oldest in the nation if I recall. Photo taken in 1990. Marineland's Dragon Mountain entrance looked a little less covered in foliage when this shot was taken in 1985. LeSourdsville Lake re-opened in 2002 for one year only. Thankfully I got to ride the Screechin' Eagle that summer. Awesome ride that deserves to be saved. Another LeSourdsville shot, this one of the Serpent coaster from across the "lake". The Zipper can also be seen at the far right. These happy coyotes were found at th

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.

Mean Streak in its opening year (1991). Kings Island's Flight Commander. Photo taken in 1992. I actually liked this ride. Skylab (Huss Giant Enterprise) at Kings Island. King Cobra can

Hi... my name is Ray P. I have been posting on other message boards for about 10 years now, but for some reason, the fun just isn't there anymore. It seems like the world of online coastering has become one of constant bickering, trolling, and the oh-so-annoying "Site Wars" where people aren't even allowed to mention certain sites by name. I was always under the impression that this hobby was about enjoying amusement parks and just having fun. Seems like somewhere I missed the memo that you have to be a Business Major or act like a complete snob in order to be deemed "cool". Stats ab
