I was there June 25 and July 2nd, and the lights worked the entire circuit. This pic was taken July 2nd.

Sure! How's this?

Here's an approximate overlay showing the area of the Train's original path, in comparison to the area today. 0% 50% 100%

I had wondered if they actually used that configuration for the train in the 1974 season. It seems that it would have covered a lot of ground!

Steering back on course..... Once again, The Great Train Ride?

I believe it is the Great Train Ride. In the pre-opening map, the train station is on Dream Street, near the spot where the cabana rental kiosk is today.

Photo booth at Log Flume. It was where you would get a flag to put on your log.

That's warped. I'm in good company here.

Death Race comes out this Friday. Remake of DeathRace2000. Can't wait to see the Mustang 500 with the Miniguns mounted on front.

Way to go! You're hot on the trail! Perhaps we'll get to see those commercials in the near future,they're bound to show up sometime.

updated to include more marvels of engineering. Decided to keep buildings out of it. JS

I vaguely remember a place selling Bonsai trees and stuff. Was it in one of the 4 tents?

1984 Parachutes/bobsleds.

1979 Rolling Thunder

How about a dark ride/go kart ride, based on the film "Death Race 2000"?

I was about to say the same thing.

Robin Williams. Better Catwoman- Julie Newmar or Michelle Pfeiffer?

What?? A TOY?????

I remember the hype leading to Condor's arrival. We thought it would be a real thriller. I was very disappointed, and only rode once. My friends went on a second time, and I watched from the ground as they had a casual conversation on board the whole length of the ride. To me, it was just a gently spinning observation tower. It seemed to have left the park as fast as it came.

Awesome Olympic opening ceremonies. Wow. It's on again at 2am, gotta record it this time. Check it out!!

That one actually would look very cool. We would need to find a picture of it showing more of the building though, not just the tower. An older picture perhaps from before the other tall buildings came along.

I'd rather keep the chart with structures of tourism. (except for the bridge, which is transportation but a very familiar visual landmark) Once I start putting in skyscrapers, then I have to put in the Empire State, Freedom tower, Chrysler building, Sears Tower, etc, and it will just be another skyscraper chart.
