Yes, I remember those well. Unfortunately, I have pictures of ghost town and some of the other attractions dating back as many as 38 years ago - but none of that particular ride.

My mom is 55 and my aunt is a bit younger (about 10 or so years). They have alot of pictures when it was Storytown USA and such. My Aunt even has some of the old Badges Marshall Bill used to give out many years ago.

Yes, he does. This year they were gold in commemoration of his 50th year of being sheriff. In previous years they were silver, yellow and other colors. I also have some from previous years. As soon as I locate the rest of the pictures I'll get Tom to post them (I confess that in that regard I am computer illiterate). Does anyone know if my memory serves me correctly, but I think that I remember when it was Story Town that they did not serve any alcoholic beverages. If you wanted alcohol you had to wait until after Story Town closed and Gaslight Village opened.

I know my aunt says she has some of the older ones as well. I think I might just take a look at what she has.

I don't remember the carriage looking things though. Anyone have any idea what they are? What I'm talking about is in the photo 13 up from the bottom. And when was there a blue rollercoaster (12 up from bottom)?

Those carriage looking things you are talking about are old Sky Buckets for a cable ride, maybe from Freedomland. I dont recall a blue coaster and those support do not look like parts to the old Galaxi type coaster. I would say they look parts to the Magic Tea Cups/ Tip Top ride, but upon futher look they seem to part of some type of structure maybe if they go back in the bone yard we can a couple more shots of this with different angles but they seem to be part of some type of structure with the anchor things on them.

IT was where the skycoaster is now, right about where you get strapped onto the cables. The Balloon Ferris Wheel also used to be over there, right next to it in the spot where the Skycoaster station-thing is.

The boneyard spans from behind the pavilions to route 9 I believe. And it is where the park stores past rides, themeing for Fright Fest and they store extra things like Raging river rafts there too.

Its kinda bad for all this stuff to just rot and while some are looking perfectly like Danny the Dragon, they never do anything about it. Boy I wish some of that stuff was still in TGE... :(
