montezooma Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 For the last couple of days I have missed being able to post my postcards here. I took a short trip down to Palm Springs but could not get back to Salt Lake due to all the snow and cancelled flights. I love the Disney Christmas postcard and can't wait to see what Bill can offer up to this thread, he should have some really old ones as he himself is as old as dust (love ya!) Continuing on with my mine train theme, here is the Rock n roller coaster from Opryland It doesn't say much for Opryland's ride line up when this is described as one of their most thrilling rides. So looks like Disney lifted this name.
Nrthwnd Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 ^ Shane, you are such an as------- elf. holiday hug
montezooma Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 WOW Mark! I just went back to page one and saw your postcard index. That is awesome, you have done a great job linking all these postcards. Everyone should go to page one, there is a link to any postcard you would like to see that has been posted here!
thrillerman1 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Posted December 24, 2008 Thanks Elf Shane! I hope the index will help those who casually visit this thread to find a particular card they might find interesting. I'm actually debating an update to the index by sorting the cards by continent. It might help people find particular cards easier/faster. I think so far only Asia, Europe, and N. America are represented. Any thoughts on that? Come on...where are the rest of you people on other continents? Please share your cards with us.
Peejay Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Almost a little late for this kind of card, but here's one from our visit yesterday. Europa Park at Christmas time.
thrillerman1 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 Hey Peter awesome card! It really makes me wish we were riding Euro-Mir again...love the Santas. Thanks for the contribution!
thrillerman1 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 It's not quite New York City's Times Square, but I imagine ringing in the new year in Las Vegas could be almost as fun. Here's Manhattan Express umm excuse me The Roller Coaster (the older name was so much better!). Happy 2009 TPR! ...3, 2, 1...Happy New Year! 10, 9, 8...
Ghost Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 As a (Disney) Theme park postcard collector myself... LOVE this topic!
montezooma Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 ^ well I hope you will start posting your collection here on this thread. I, for one, would love to see your collection.

restoca Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Nice Dejavu card. This SFOG version is the only one I ever saw that wasn't down, but I didn't ride. Here's one for Ghost. postmark Santa Ana CA, 29 March 1982
thrillerman1 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 ^ Love that view of Space Mountain. Still my fav version of the four I've ridden...not that the Paris one really counts!
Shockwave Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 ^^^Great song and a great postcard Mark! Naturally when I was at Six Flags Over Georgia a few years ago the ride was doing a very good postcard impression while I was there.
montezooma Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 While on the subject of Space Mountain, here is the Florida Version
thrillerman1 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 ^^ Lol Tom. Sorry about your misfortune at SFOG. You know I never even really realized the train was not in the photograph until you pointed it out. I was eventually able to ride it, but it was down more often than not on most of my visits too. I wonder if it's in the boneyard there now.
montezooma Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 And now for something completly random... I will always love this ride.
thrillerman1 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 I love your Revo cards. One can certainly never have too many!
montezooma Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 As much as I love the red, white & blue color scheme of the original trains, I also liked this second color scheme of the trains. They had 3 variations: the lead car came in red (shown in the postcard above) they also had green and blue
restoca Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 This one corresponds to today's video clip at Shane's Amusement Attic. this custom Schwarzkopf operated at SFOT from 1971 to 1978
Shockwave Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 ^^Schwarzkopf rides before they get their trains neutered with horrific shoulder restraints make me smile. Goes back to a time when common sense and personal responsibility actually meant something.
montezooma Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 1971-1978? I had no idea it was there for such a short time. I wish I had gotten the chance to ride the Big Bend
montezooma Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I cant resist posting this postcard of the Orient Express sorry don't have the back side scanned in at the moment
sk8erboiyugi Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 ^Still miss walking by OE while walking into the park. Why did I have to finally grow a pair and start riding coasters the year AFTER they took OE out. *still kicking self for not riding Zambezi Zinger when I went in '96*
restoca Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Zambezi Zinger, you say? custom Schwarzkopf operated 1973 to 1997
