Retro Photo TR Busch Gardens & Magic Kingdom 1980

[Huge_Wonderland_Fan]

Here are the pictures of my parents trip to Florida in what I believe is 1980, I could possibly be wrong about the date through. Sorry about the lack of coasters, my mom didn't know she was supposed to take pictures of the good stuff

I believe this is where the Magic Kingdom photos start.

Zebra Porn ?

Awesome! I love the first shot of the big cat and the monorail queue. Thanks for posting these.

^ Thats the monorail queue ? Cool ! I'm glad you like the pictures

[BeemerBoy]

^ If memory serves me correctly, it was. It may have also been part of the queue for the skyride (or currently still is)? Can anyone else shed some light on this? I'm drawing a blank on its current state.

 

EDIT: Wait, here's a shot of the entrance to that structure, circa 2008. I know the monorail queue was in there, but I don't know if it was half for the monorail, and half for the skyride?

^According to the 50th Anniversary exhibit, it was half monorail, half skyride. Its a shame for most of the year they have all that open area unused up on the second level.

The old monorail queue and some of the Skyride queue is used for Howl-O-Scream.

 

BTW, the first two Magic Kingdom shots are actually from BGT, it was the old Dwarf Village attraction. Also, I really do miss the Dolphin show even though I should just drive another hour to SWO.

 

Thanks for sharing.
