GREAT AMERICA stuff

Post by jonrev »

Here's all of my Great America stuff. The Viper telescope and the 1997 park map were from my first visit to the park!

^My piece of the track from Shockwave. I won't go into much discussion about this due to the flame war this caused at another site.

I called the scrapyard Shockwave was being sent to and asked if I could come by and take a piece of the scrap. They agreed so I went down to Zion to get the piece. It came out of a huge dump truck full of blue metal.

I'm still amazed at how many emails and PMs I get from people asking to buy it. :lol: Someone even offered $500.00 for it. :roll:

IT IS NOT FOR SALE, PEOPLE!!
