Very nice photos of all the parks. What is with the paint on the concrete? They going to tear something out and build something differant? You featured Tanya the elephant. Outside of Rip the male, she seems to be the one most photographed. No wonder, she is the one I used to ride around on. I also recieved your book in the mail today, Thanks very much and it is autographed too! I hope your second book has features of the old days in the Safari? I will supply you with lots of photos if you need them?

The paint is a survey marker on the site of what has long been rumored to be the home of a new water slide. Hopefully in 2010!

 

Glad to hear you received the book. We'd love to see those early Safari photos and a Volume II is a project we would surely welcome.

 

Here are a few more of the big guys....

I saw those markings in person Sunday, they were there since Aug and they are scribed into the concrete. That was weird that a copter was parked in HH's parking lot like that, I saw it took off and fly over HH by the restrooms. I guess a bigshot from SF HQ flew in that day.

the scream machine looks like total BS with all theat metrosexual hiar crap all over it, if your going to see out, be a man avout it and do a budwiser theme for red car, bud light for the blue car, and the white do a anhauser bush theme with the eagle and the A!!

 

I don't care for Budweiser, but that would look a hell of a lot better!

I would hope that that isn't what SF is using their miniscule amount of funds on, but I wouldn't put it past them.

 

Anyway, I can't tell exactly where these markers are. Is between the Speed Slides and the Tube Slides correct?

They are right on the pathway between the speed slides and the Bada Bing slides that goes to the service gate. It probably was a SF copter since I can't think why anybody else would want to land there or even be allowed to land but a copter transporting an SF bigwig and if it was then it is wasting company money.
