29yrswithaGApass Posted June 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Before the land the 4x4s occupied was put in place, this had to be so dangerous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I know it was a different time and would never happen today but it's really surprising to see that photo and see no fence of anything. Even if someone is watching their kids, a little kid could get away and run right into the ride area. I tried the trucks one or two times. It was fun for something different but didn't think it was really something I needed to frequently go to. I preferred the boats near Jolly Roger that I usually tried at least once a season.

GAcoaster Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 The old sets of boats were always a "must do" for me as a kid. There was much more challenge to driving the boats. The cars not so much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daved Thomson Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 I have to believe this photo was taken just days after the park opened in 1974. I think it's just another representation of the park opening before it was actually completely finished, with a number of rides not having cues. The carousel was another ride that lacked any real barriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 This photo was taken later in the 1974 season. Even this first installation of exit bars did not provide much protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry2004 Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) makes me wondered why didn't they put the abc garden in the old Great Lake grandstand area and maybe get the tilt n whirl from the former american adventures in the old rc trucks spot, maybe there's wasn't enough room for a tilt n whirl Edited August 19, 2023 by harry2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
