joelwee Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 ^ I wondered if the Cher reference would come up! Here's a couple from SFGAdv... I have a picture of GASM as well, but I took it inside a gift shop at SFMM. Hey, that's not Viper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Love the fact that more of you are getting on board with this thread! Keep 'em coming! Still there, but with a worse name. Even though Medusa didn't fit in with the western themed area, I still preferred that theme over Bizarro. Medusa was Michael's first ever front row seat on a coaster! He told me to tell him where the camera was so that he could open his eyes long and go hand's free just long enough for the photo - which he did. Then he closed them tight for the rest of the ride. LOL Rolling Thunder over yonder. Four in one shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnlloyd Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I am enjoying this thread quite a bit so far and I am glad it was revived! Below are a couple of photos of the now defunct Thunder Rapids Log Flume at Darien Lake. During my first visit to the park on August 31st, 2017 it was already standing but not operating and waiting demolition for the all new for 2018 Tantrum. View of Thunder Rapids SBNO (left) from the Giant Wheel. The SBNO Thunder Raids as seen from its former entrance. That is all I have for now, but I will look for and upload other photos of rides that I had captured which are no longer with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 All I got is this one. But it was a goodie, while it was running. WILD MOUSE! (with the silent "e") PLayland(PNE), Vancouver. Photo by www.joyrides - thanks! My favourite shot of it. Note the "safety padding"? Thankyou whoever, up there in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Rattler, Pre I-Rat I'm sure people have 100 of these: RIP Georgia Cyclone All my pictures are of rides pretty recently defunct or converted. I couldn't find any other pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Time for a thread bump...how about some Dueling Dragons from IoA? Dueling Dragon's before they dumbed it down, American Style. I LOVED the trains! Which one was your favorite? I liked both, but I think that I preferred Ice Dragon Loved the little bit of airtime you would get here on Fire Dragon - weeeee!!!! Such a great concept - sure would like to see this pop up at a park (outside the US) where they could be reborn and duel the way that they were intended to!

BeansproutMidget Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Aw, seeing Dueling Dragons pulls at the heart. I love seeing photos the ride running in unison. I never got to ride it while it did, but it looks so satisfying! But alas, that time is gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 ^ We were lucky enough to ride in the front seat on both multiple times. There was nothing like hitting that head to head loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Gonna sneak in another update here... Hmmm...what is that over to the right of Stratosphere? Loopy! We only rode Speed The Ride once, but we loved it! A shame that they never relocated it as it pretty much crapped all over the other coasters in Vegas. This may or may not be a shameless plug for where I work. lol This was in the NASCAR museum that you needed to walk through to get to the coaster.
