Hi, Mark,

Sorry for the delay. I haven't been able to get that fixed yet. Will see about getting it taken care of this week and will update you here.

The forums were upgraded, resulting in this new look. The new look will be integrated into the overall site's design. But that hasn't happened yet. Meanwhile, the forums should be working as normal. Regarding the photo albums, however, the forums and photo albums were linked. The upgrade has tempora...

Hello, The site will be undergoing some upgrades that require some remodeling here and there. Things may not look completely normal for a while during the process. Also, for those who already have photo albums, the common login for the forums and photo albums will be temporarily separated. I'd recom...

The video album format apparently doesn't make it obvious how to save a local copy of the video. Is that the main problem you see with this new way of providing videos? That's why I'm asking for feedback on the new multimedia albums, to find out what you like and don't like. Then I can see about mak...

If the "go hand in hand" American Eagle commercial was used for Gurnee in 1981, then I wonder if maybe Gurnee just skipped the "maybe a great day is just what you need this year" campaign from 1981. Then, perhaps, both parks used the full "go hand in hand" campaign in 1...

Thanks, MGA1. That brings up an interesting question. These commercials are dated 1981 and I understood the American Eagle commercial on the "old" multimedia page to be from 1981. But that American Eagle commercial is based on the "hand in hand" ad campaign. That makes me think t...

Hi, I've created a new multimedia section in the photo gallery. In the video album there, I've added a 1981 MGA commercial. I'm thinking of moving all of the video and audio to this new multimedia section as well as adding more commercials. I'll have to monitor what this does to my monthly bandwidth...

http://www.greatamericaparks.com/mga19810704MandrellConcert.jpg Forum member MGA1 provided the above photo and asked that the following information accompany it: This picture was taken on the evening of July 4th, 1981 at the Gurnee, IL park in the Pictorium Plaza stage area just after that evening'...

Hi, Thanks, Tech Services 1 for asking. I don't see any problem with allowing you to sell some of the vintage MGA Gurnee bumper stickers. I hate to see the remaining stock broken up, though! How about taking some pictures of the remaining supply of stickers before sending any away? Again, I don't se...
