The Old Maps
« on: October 18, 2011, 09:34:41 PM »
I asked my mom about it the other day and she couldn't remember either.

What did the maps/schedule look like before they newspaper style Pathfinder?

I remember them being different, but I can't remember exactly what they were like and I couldn't find any, even though I know I have some somewhere at my house.

Maybe someone could upload a scan of one, if possible.

They were brochures that opened to a full spread of the city.

They indeed folded open, and closed just like a roadmap. I still have one of that style from 2005.

Visit my Flickr site and see the "Silver Dollar City's Discovery Map" brochure handed out to all guests...including a city map with descriptions of rides, shows, attractions, crafts, restaurants...and that included the log rolling contests. Enjoy!

Reviewing that brochure...it may be from 1980 rather than 1981 as I first posted on Flickr. My memory fades in and out here and there, now and then. That was over 35 years ago!

Here are a few scans of maps. My favorite is opened, it is only Main Street (since that is all that existed at the time!

You never cease to impress Rube!

If you ever come across one of those rare days when it is raining outside, and you have nothing else planned, please take a scan of each of those maps, and brochures!  :)

Thank you!! That's what I thought, but I didn't want to convince myself I was right until I knew for sure!

Those are awesome maps betamike!

It’s fun to see times when the Flooded Mine, and Fire in the Hole were the “back” of the park.  ;D
