Amazing, simply amazing how much the park has grown since then. Corey, did you ever get to ride it?

I always loved Rolling Thunder and thought it was a great ride, I used to ride that and Demon when I was at the park as a kid. Its sad that I have only seen that one picture of the ride at SFGAm. Does anybody know where you can find anymore pics of Rolling Thunder at SFGAm?

No, I was never at the park when Rolling Thunder was there (I don't think). If I was it would've been when I was like really little...

That's kind of how the Corkscrew is for me at SFWoA. I rode it when I was 5 and vaguely remember the layout and what not, but it is now somewhere thrilling people in India.

Sounds like a good idea. I hope it works. :)

Yeah too bad I live way too far away to get locals' signatures and what not. They wouldn't even open the mail. It was just an idea, you can do that if you would like.

Hey, let's give it a shot. They can at least consider it, at the worst just totally delete the email. In that case, let's do one. What should our message to the people actually read?

Well that's a good start, now we just need the body of the petition. It needs to pertain to the old theming.

A body to the petition would include paper and ink. Try that. Nobody wastes 5 seconds on those petitions, unless they are "signing" them. They are worthless. Why waste your time?

Obviously you're easily amused...Anyway, while it would be great if we had all the old themeing back, I don't see it happening due to a petition signed by a few people...

Oh sorry I wasn't looking.Anyways back to a question someone asked earlier, about how I knew about the axle incident. Yeah thats because I was there the day it happened. And I was employed at the park at that time.

While I don't think I'll actually follow through with the petition because I never saw any of the old theming, my location is very far away, and no one is interested anyways, I do have to say thank you everyone for your support. I couldn't do it without you!

A petition for old theming? I like the idea, but they don't have old pieces of scenery from the 70's and 80's lying around. They're probably all gone and why make duplicates? The park sure has changed, more in my opinion than anyone really though
Goodbye 11/9!
