Oh. Thats why it was called Plymouth Place. I only knew it was called that, but not why.

I have park maps from 1991-2005, except 1997. I didn't attend Great America that year :(

Wow. It's amazing to think of all the coasters we've gotten since then.

That sounds so odd becuase its almost 10 years later.


Trust me it was the hottest thing that year. The line was 1 hour and 30 min long if not longer.

well, for maps, I have one from just about every year the park has been open, plus one from 1975 advertising the park opening soon.

And for a bunch of posts up, the seats on Giant Drop were never pink. Those pics are from another Giant Drop somewhere else.

The ad is pretty corny. They could have been a little more creative than "Please keep all hands and arms inside the vehicle until the ride comes to a complete stop." What, do I have like three hands or something? Why not say both hands? And if I keep my hands in, how do my arms stay out? By my elbow?

Okay, I swear I have OCD sometimes. :lol:

could be a stock photo provided by Intamin.

I believe that pic might be the Giant Drop from Jerudong Park Playground.

It looks like hellavator form Six Flangs Kentucky, it opened in 1995 two years prior to Giant Drop.

I'll try to scan it in tonight and put it up on my webshots account, if I can remember what my name is on that :)

luckily it's only a trifold brochure and should scan in it's entirety.
