Thanks you guys!

Junior - all it says is Souvenir Picture Album, it has alot of names of the people that are in the pictures. And in 1 pic they are delivering silver dollars to the City.
I'll ask my pa about Slantin' Sams & Hain'ted House to see if he remembers.

Rube - glad ya finally got to see the pics, i know it was prob'ly drivin' ya crazy..

I'm sure the old booklet you have was sold in the general store and hospitality house, probably way back in the early to mid 1960's. Thanks again for all the photos. And yes, I'd like to know more about the haunted house.

very cool map..  hard for me to imagine the park that small......


  COOL IDEA!!!!     A collectors book that has pictures of maps from every year.. and maybe a couple of pages of pics of mods to buildings/attractions year to year... 

Now that woulkd have been a great 50th them for a book!

Been there, tried that. I had a large quantity of pages completed, and was told with all of my objects, and artwork, that the Herschends' have a large quantity of archives and there will be a webpage to share memories. thanks for the interest...needless to say I was a bit frustrated, but I'll get back to it! Hopefully this winter/ spring!

Here's my dads story, & i see why we keep going to SDC to this day.
His family would go trout fishing in Branson in 1954 when he was 12, his mother & him would shop around also. In 1959 he went to Rockaway Beach with his buddies to find ladies at a senior dance, he graduated in 1960. He married my mom in 1962 & thats when they went to SDC for their honeymoon & got this picture book. So i guess thats the year it is from.

He dont remember the Haunt'd house, but Slantin' Sams was just a lil' building that made ya feel like it was crooked when it really wasnt. Water flowed backwards, if i am correct, i recall a pool table with a ball that rolled up-hill. Anyone remember that?

I got more pics of SDC if ya'll wanna see'm.... Green trams - 1st ones in the park'n lot - on-ride shots, got'a good one on Wildfire upside down. Just let me know, i'd love to share'm.

[How-doFolks]

Ok. Give me afew days & i'll get'm all set-up. As for now, here's us on Wildfire head'n up the first hill, taken with a cheapy throw away camera with 800 speed film. I used to sneak'm on the ride.. And, 1 of my girl & i with my paremts in line for Powderkeg, this is one of my favorite pics of my parents.

Rube, don't shelve that project. I hope you are able to get it printed and released. I want a copy!

[rubedugans]

Not shelved! With my arm in a cast...it leaves me more time to work on that over the Holiday break!

I really enjoy seeing these vacation photos from SDC. I like looking at how the park has changed over the years. Funny to see how fashions have changed, too!

[How-doFolks]

Thanks Junior, here's more.. Some'a the pics were over 400 KB, i'll try some other stuff.

The 1 pic is Wildfire ofcourse, & DID NOT alter it in any way, it was taken when we were upside down. Look at the front'a the coaster & the harness's. I just got lucky.

The other is at the top of the hill of either Wildfire or Powderkeg. Beautiful....
