I totaly forgot about scanning more of the space mountain booklet. I apologize, as I was working on the cedarpoint winter update. I will try to get more up this weekend.

 

In the mean time, enjoy this old picture of top thrill dragster construction.

Cedarpoint gemini picture. Also announcing the new soak city water park. Funny how it only cost 3.5 mill to build the entire park. A slide alone cost's that today.

Shockwave at six flags great America. Never did get to ride it, but did get to see it sitting in pieces next to the park on a hill.

Another quick update......

 

This update includes Epcot, Boblo, and Hershey park.

 

The epcot booklet still lists body wars as "open", and it also was the year that mission space opened.

I visited Epcot in 03. I rode Body Wars right after lunch and almost hurled...haha. I was fine after about an hour or so. It was the only time I ever felt sick after a ride. Mission Space was not open yet but it was pretty close to completion. Here's a section of the 2003 map below where you can see it marked. Keep this thread going. Great stuff.

Great Maps! I always find it funny how the only attractions in Disney history that are officially scary are Captain EO, Great Movie Ride and Honey, I Shrunk The Audience. I mean, your five year old won't be scared on Snow Whites Scary Adventures or The Backlot Tour!

 

p.s. I love Epcot too.
