SDC Time Traveler
Junior:
Let's take a little trip back in time! Set the clock on your time machine to December of 1978. Winter construction projects were underway, and a place called "The Courthouse Theater" was being built, plus, the "Corkscrew Overpass" in the Deepwoods section was being built. SDC President Jack Herschend spoke at the company profit sharing meeting, and the attendance for the park for the year was tallied at over a million! Find out more by going to my Flickr site, and taking a close look at the SDC company newsletter "What's Happening" dated December 21, 1978. Photos are included. Hang on tight! You are going back in time about 34 years: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juniordugan

Junior we have to get this thread up to 88 miles per hour! ;D
That’s a pretty cool interoffice letter. Small changes around the park were a really big deal back then. It’s better than a single picture as it tells a story about the people, and trends of the time.
Slightly off topic, I know the Courthouse Theater no longer exist, but where was it exactly? And what is in its place now?
Junior:
The theater DOES still exist! It is now called the Riverfront Playhouse. It sits right next to the White River Mercantile. If ya'll like seeing the old company newsletters, I'll put more on my Flickr site in the weeks to come so we can all continue that time travel down memory lane. Just let me know. :)
MissinTheGreenTrams:
That would be amazing if you did Junior! I love seeing your stuff!
DollarCityBoy:
I am amazed after all this time, you, and others, are still able to post new pictures like that. Thanks so much for sharing with us! Love re-living the past.
