that "REDIT" thing is Latin, it means to return or come again.

 

I wonder if the old theater is fenced off because of the old lead paint and asbestos

Was anyone else a little perturbed by the fact that Pizza Hut (I think that's what it was) had two crappers next to each other with no stalls? You could carry on a civil conversation while sharing plops! That's creepy!

Robb,

 

Great job on this update. I know it can take a lot of time. Thanks for letting us see the actual full pictures to piece this together. I am looking forward to going to Denver this September.

Thanks Robb & Elissa for the update... really brings back some memories.

 

Wildcat was my first coaster, original twister my second. Old Elitches was such a cool park, I hated the fact they moved it. Sidewinder (the loop) was moved from old Elitches to the new site a few years after it was built.

 

My friend's father's company always had their yearly picknick at Lakeside. We would ride Cyclone 10 or so times, grab a hotdog and soda, and ride again. I think our best was 53 in one afternoon. A fun old coaster.

 

Thanks again!

Robb, what was the "Kingda Ka" toy? Was that a K'nex coaster or something? "MOTORIZED", ha. Should say,"realistic Down-Time". I loved the Round-Up at Lakeside. "Space Sensation"? What, the sensation of moving through three-dimensional space? Anyway, great (retrospective) TR as usual.

The pictures from winter park looked very familiar to me, until I saw the picture of the maze. Do you guys have any more pictures of the maze because I think I've been to that place years ago

Breckenridge colorado (a close ski resort) also has an alpine slide and a maze. You may be thinking of that.

It looked kind of "cheap" to be honest. It wasn't even really a coaster since the thing used a battery to get around the track.

 

If you're a coaster toy collector, I guess it's a must have, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
