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.
