ThemeParkRider Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 WOW! Things have changed so much! From the outfits, to the styles to even the pictures themselves. I've never seen these pics before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Hill Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Tom, can you read the number on the truck? It is there on the right side in a circle above the fender and below and left to the loudhaler on the hoot. It looks to be the African Plains? Can you enlarge the photo, I might be able to ID the Wardens if I could see better? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I can't make it out, but Harry has the original...maybe he can make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 You can't read the number even when it is enlarged. The original isn't the best because it is from a newspaper. Click the image below to see it larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Hill Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 The fellow to the far right looks like Lenard DeNalt? The truck also does not have a pushbumper that many of us had on our trucks. Leonard was a supervisor of the last predator sections so it could be the sheep and goat section, in between Siberian Tigers and Baboons?

Yoshi Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Interesting to see they had free food on opening day and it took an hour to get the food. It's amazing how long people will wait for free stuff though I guess if you were in the park, you didn't have an option not to wait if you were hungry.

ThemeParkRider Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) i bet the food back then was much better too. Ah, Heck yea! Although, could you pack your own food then? Edited January 20, 2010 by ThemeParkRider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
