It's interesting to me how the viewpoint of the maps change over time. Some are turned more to the left side of the park, others to the right. Some are an arial view, some are boxes, and some are renderings. I love all the different characteristis the maps take on over time.

Some of my maps have no dates, so it is fun looking at the features/ rides/ shop locations in order to figure out which year it would have been from.

I have one other one from the same time period (Still Marvel Cave Park) that isn't scanned yet. It was simply a placemat, but it gave a really good map!

It would be great to go back to that era of SDC and know what we know today.  Of course be able to take our modern digital cameras so we can take all those great pictures  ;).

Funny! I am happily married to someone who puts up with (sometimes begrudgingly) my habits (SDC). I have lots of what amounts to a ig collection after 30+ yrs attending the park. This one was from a guidebook from early on at SDC (obviously!).

I am flattered BTW! any admirer of my "stuff"  is a friend in my book! I would want to marry me too If I met a lady with a collection the likes of mine! Since today has been a rather good day I think I will add another section of a map to the thread!

1972 had two different maps, This is the more analytical, left brained map. The best part of it is the ride that will be 40 next year....FITH
