My dad’s company picnic was always there on Labor Day Weekend, so I went at least once a year from about 1964- 1978 ( sometimes 2 times) so I went on ALL these rides..when I was small, the line for the Blue Streak went all the way to the midway!! When you had the nerve to ride it, you didn’t have to hang out with mom anymore! So I was there for all the “ firsts”…Corkscrew,Raptor,Mantis,Magnum etc… loved the little rides too, the Scrambler,Matterhorn etc. Rode the big slide the first year it opened & my sack had a hole in it & my tennis shoes stopped me dead & I rolled down it. Ended up with burns down my arm & leg. Today I would be rich!!

Gutted about Apocalypse and Pirate Adventure. Rode oth of those so many times in my teens and beyond. I've not been back to Drayton Manor in quite a long time now, but I see it is moving towards a more family oriented feel now, with thrill rides taking a back seat - they've also removed the stand up cars from the shockwave and replaced with a sit down one to lower the height requirements: that makes me a bit sad too, as that was the other legendary ride for me.

I rode Earthquake in 1979 and I don't remember too many specifics, it was a good ride. I do remember buildings falling down and maybe even a "fire" or explosion and a lot of being in the dark. I enjoyed it.

A Beastly Kingdom-style fifth gate could be a great idea, given how Epcot and Animal Kingdom are touted as an expanded version of Tomorrowland and Adventureland respectively. This park will be expanded Fantasyland. There could be an emphasis towards myths and fables from different parts of the world, such as Mesoamerica (Encanto and Coco could fit in this than in Animal Kingdom's upcoming Tropical Americas), Asia (you can have Mulan, Raya & the Last Dragon or Aladdin), and Europe (this could be where TDS Fantasy Springs-type minilands could exist). To balance out the Disney IPs, you can have original ideas as well based on abandoned concepts for Beastly Kingdom and mythologies in general.

Earthquake was the best! we actually rode it when I was 11 right before we moved to CA. It was so realistic that I was terrified when we experienced our first real earthquake. I still have vivid memories of it today. You could not only see the damage but they added smells to the sounds around you. Just awesome.

Log Jammer should NEVER have closed. It should have remained open just like Jet Stream. SFMM is a hot park during the summer, and a few good get soaked to cool down rides is what the park needs. They could have EASILY put Full Throttle in a different location and it would have been fine, it was just laziness in my opinion.

A DisneySea in Florida would be the best case scenario. All of the park's lands being themed after ports of call around the world was a great idea; it's essentially an expanded Epcot World Showcase, with lands like the Mediterranean Harbor and Arabian Coast. DisneySea is so meticulously themed that you could spend a day just wandering around without going on any of the rides and still feel like you had a worthwhile experience, because the entire park is like one big walkthrough attraction. There's a reason it's so highly regarded among the people who've been there and Disney World could really use a new park like that. But a villains park would also be a fun idea. I don't think the concept is too dark for kids; I loved the Disney villains when I was a kid.

I worked at Cedar Point summer of `78 and I never saw a Turnpike ride there! Seeing as how what you're showing here looks just the Kennywood ride, I would've not only remembered it being there,I would've ridden it a few times as it was always one of my fave Kennywood rides. I lived right outside the park so, I could've got in any time I wanted. No, I never got to ride Earthquake when I worked there in `78 because it didn't exist. I love dark rides and would've gone on that dozens of times! I went into The Fun House quite often and, even after the park closed for the night, I'd go in and walk through The Fun House in the dark and even climbed up the slide silos all the way to the very top. They actually go up about another 7 or 8 feet so, I'd go up and ride them from the very top. I don't think I ever rode Jumbo Jet. I might have but don't recall seeing that one there. Maybe they'd already replaced it before I got there in early July (the 5th). I'm pretty sure I rode Wild Cat. I remember that being there.

Here's a 1978 map of the Cedar Point where Turnpike Cars is clearly visible beside Marina Gate, and the front of the Earthquake ride is visible in front of the first aid point on the midway: www.rollercoasterfreak.com/CP_Brochures/1978_pg_inside.jpg

@@ThemeSeekers Thanks but, that's not a very good map (too blurry) and it's not completely accurate, either. Where number 11 is, that's where the Fun House was. I remember seeing The Wild Cat through the slightly open door on the tilted room and it was a couple feet away from that door. There was no steakhouse there. Right there and all the way to the road to the left of it was a 2-story house where most of the employees (myself included) lived in mostly tiny rooms. Mine was on the 2nd floor near the back of the building and my window, right next to my bed, was a few feet away from the lake and I heard sea gulls quite often. Any time I went into the park it was through what this map calls, The Marina Gate. Just inside to my left was the brand new Omnimax (or Imax) theatre. (I also worked at the Carnegie Science Center and we had one of those, too and one was called, Imax, the other was, Omnimax, I'm just not sure which was which). Where 14 is, that building MIGHT'VE been there, I never used it so, I'm not sure but, it was either there or a building to the left of it where we employees would go once or twice a week to see movies I saw, "All The King's Men" (and slept through most of it) and, "Sleuth". I don't recall any others but I know it was right across the way from those sliding boards. As much as I wanted to, I don't think I ever rode those. I worked at the games along the midway. The first one I worked in was the Panther Pitch way up near the top of the L. I think it was the 2nd or 3rd game down. It was my fave because there was this really cute girl, Cheryl Hubbard, working there and I had a heavy crush on her! The lead at that game was a Hawaiian guy named, Joel. I can't recall his last name but he also had 3 of his sisters working there. Janis and Ioana (everyone called her, Joanna) worked at the Panther Pitch and Joel's other sister was the lead of the game at the top of the L. I don't think I ever worked her game. I don't recall seeing that spire there at all or any of that other stuff in that area. I never even went in that area. Right next to that red dot where it says, Games, is where the milk bottle game was. It was run by a black guy named, Charlie Brown. I only worked there 3 or 4 times. One of those time, I was leaving through the back door to go to lunch and the door (spring-loaded) slammed shut on my hand just as I was pulling it out of the way and the door ripped a wart out of my knuckle and I had to go across the midway to the medical area to get it taken care of. In as such, from what I recall, that merry-go-round was NOT there! I don't know what the question mark is for but, right at the bottom of it was another game called, Bear Hoopla and it was run by another very sweet girl named, Jennifer. Turns out, she's from my area! Another girl from my area worked at the place at the end of the L (near the front gate) where I'd go every day to buy French Fries from her. She always knew my order so, when she saw me coming, she'd get them ready for me! In the crotch of the L is where we'd always eat lunch at a series of picnic tables. Backgammon was really huge there, back then so, everybody played it any time they got the chance and they even had a tourney. Up to that point, I had no idea how to play it! Along the bottom of the L were most of the shitty games, Pick-a-Duck, Bust a Dish, The Cat Rack and I think one of those squirt gun games. There was another inside that hospital building. Somewhere near where that steakhouse is, there was a tiny office building. I had to go in there to get my ID picture taken. And, right beside that was a sort of gang plank where you'd get onto the ferry boat that'd take you across the lake to Sandusky. Not too far away, was the Sandusky Mall, where I bought several new albums (the first 3 by Synergy, "Bullets Through The Barrier" by The Movies and possibly, "Who Are You?" by The Who. It was right after Keith died. Oh! and the picture disc edition of Sgt. Pepper which skipped all over the place so, I took it back.) and my first stereo cassette recorder. Well, those are the anomalies that I can pick out. By the way, I don't see Earthquake on the map.

When I was a kid Earthquake was my favorite, followed by the fun house across the walkway. Maybe with flat and dark rides becoming more popular, especially that they can make it more 3D like they did with Spiderman in Universal Orlando, they will bring it back.

Aside from part 1 and part 2, there are many other rides never mentioned that no longer exist. Others that I can think of offhand that I rode: Frontier Lift, Funhouse, Paddlewheel Boats, Shoot the Rapids (original), Mill Ride, Bayem Kurve, Schwabinchen, Giant Slide, Rotor. And no doubt there are a bunch others before that from earlier generations.

Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to say about Jumbo Jet with it replacing Wildcat. But there were a few years where both were operating. Wildcat was at where Wicked Twister eventually went. And Jumbo Jet was where Gatekeeper is now.

Going from the timeline of when you released this video 1. The swarm (smooth and quite intense) 2. Nemesis (very intense interesting layout) 3. The Smiler 4. Saw (great theming as a horror fan and saw fan good indoor section great drop and some of the best airtime hills on uk coasters, can be very rough though) 5. Thirteen (like the first drop and the terrain around the coaster being in the woods, not intense but alot of interesting sections)

I think if Pandora expires, perhaps Beastly Kingdom shall happen. I mean the concept about good legends against evil legends sound pretty underrated. I was also thinking of altering the name to Land of Legends. And since Islands of Adventure of a dragon themed roller coaster, I was thinking of turning Dragon Tower to something promising to be the E ticket of the park. Quest for the Unicorn can still be it's original state and of for Fantasia Gardens, perhaps an attraction where a griffin talks and interact with guests. As for the Pegasus which appeared in one of the ticket booths, mmm that'll be for later.
