justcreate89 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Back when I visited Knott's in the 1990s and the early 2000s Anyone remember these rides?? The Steamboat around the lake Head bangin good time on Windjammer lol When Cedar Fair took over in late 1990s Little did we know then how Windjammer would turn out to be...yikes! But great concept nonetheless Driving by construction on Perilous Plunge That scrambler has been moved around so many times lol...first as headpsin, then near windjammer, then wilderness scrambler etc... When Hammerhead was still around When the Boardwalk was "new" and Jaguar still had fire RIP Boomerang...postcard from the 1990s When Supreme Sceam was new Old Park Map from 1998 Remember some of these attractions from the "Boardwalk" in the 1990s?? When Ghostrider was still under construction 1998 Loved the tumbler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoasterKing Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 What are we actually looking at here? My guess is someone reminiscing about old Knott's, back before Cedar Fair destroyed it with all them rolly coasters, you know like Boomerang, Montezooma's Revenge, Jaguar! and Windjammer. Oh wait those were all put in by the Knott's family. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 No I meant some of those images that look really weird. Are they pictures of slides or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoasterKing Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Oh gotcha. I think you may be correct, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinaalsgirl Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Oh cool, that map is from the year I took my one and only trip to Knott's! Would love to go back one day; it'll be 20 years next year since that trip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalJasonland Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 No I meant some of those images that look really weird. Are they pictures of slides or something? It looks like they took old postcards, park guide, printed photographs, and other items and put them on the carpet or a black folder, as backgrounds, to take digital photos of them to post. He just took a photo of a photo instead of scanning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoasterKing Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 BTW I made a snide comment and it was a little rude, so to the OP I apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDown Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 What are we actually looking at here? It looks like we're looking at pictures of pictures. Like, if I old had maps or old photos, and couldn't necessarily scan them, then I'd just snap photos of what I have. I know it's not the most "romantic" way to go about it, but I definitely do appreciate the fact that he has put the effort forth to share them. I especially love that Supreme Scream photo of the Knott's maps front page. Man, takes me back, I think I have that map! All these photos provided hit me straight in the heart. I love them. They remind me of old Knott's. I am so thankfull all of these images have been shared and I would applaud anyone who has similar images to share them just because of the memories. I will never knock people sharing photos that might not be the "best quality" just because I am so happy to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingwright Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I loved some of the 90s Boardwalk rides. Whirlpool was easily my favorite scrambler of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
