Wow! That looks so much different than this years. I bet in 9 years we'll say the same thing about 2005's Park Map.

that's cool. The shows from that season sound cool. I wish i could have seen that pictorium show. That map is cool. It's so odd without seeing Raging Bull in the background, and the detail not being as great as it is too.

I remember seeing both the WB sutnt show and the Special Effects movie. Both were awesome. The Stunt Show was the one where they had that locomotive with the front bent up after it crashed through some fake doors. Last I heard that train is still sitting behind Rapids. The Special Effects show was also really good.

Wow! Thanks for sharing!
I remember my park map from my first ever visit to SFGAm in 1999 went through the wash the morning after my visit.
Finally Coaster Season!!

I saw the Stunt Show and the Special Effects show, they were both actually good, I wish the Stunt Show was still there. Didnt they also have a Batman Stunt Show? or I might have seen that somewhere else.

I believe the Batman Stunt Show ran in the Ampitheater from 1993-1995. Being replaced with the WB Stunt Show in 1996.

In 1996, the Southwest Territory Western Stunt Show began, so the WB Stunt Show must have been at a different time or stage.

The old maps are great. Especially if theres a ride not currently in the park anymore on it. Its cool to look back at.

You're talking about the same thing. The Full name was the Warner Brothers Western Stunt Show.

That wasn't the only Plymouth on that map. It says the area by Stargate (at the time Space Shuttle America) was called Plymouth Place. Did anyone else not know this before?

"Hot New Ride For 97!"
That sounds so odd becuase its almost 10 years later.

Yea that whole area was sponsored by Plymouth. Plymouth Place, Plymouth Pictorium and can't forget the Plymouth Cars placed around the park.
