29yrswithaGApass Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 The 1975 Great Adventure brochure include a ride caled "The Waltzer". It was on the map where the Swiss Bob was ultimately placed. The Swiss Bob is also on the map so it wasn't simply the Swiss Bob renamed. I believe the ride makes Great Adventure's Planned-But-Never-Built list. It is possible that the ride was actually the Super Cat, but there defintely was a flat ride available in the industry called "The Waltzer" in 1975. Does anyone have any information about plans for this ride at Great Adventure?

FlumeOp1974 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Ok the wall map shows the Jumbo Jet aka the Screamer the brochure. Shows the Walter if its to the right of the Traffic Jam II its the Super Cat. But the maps for that year are strange. The Enterprise is called Swing out. on the wall map. Etc. And the Torkia is called Ups a Diasie.So you tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Which map shows the Troika as Ups a Daisie? I've seen the name Wild Flower but never Ups a Daisie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlumeOp1974 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 the big wall map. That was sold in the park. the Rotor was called Whirlpool. Conastoga Wagon was Taco King. The names on that map are strange, The hand out shows something else. The Schwabtchin was Suspension. The small wheel was Panarama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 The 1975 poster map that I have has it as Troika. (You can view it HERE.) Do you have another version of the map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 That link doesn't work. Are you talkng about the map HERE on www.themeparkbrochures.net . That one is from the 1975 pamphlet and doesn't have the "Ups A Daisie" name. You have me really curious about this. Is there another link? Any chance you can take a picture of the map you have?
