I scanned my earlier park book today, all 20 pages. I previously thought it was from 1976 or 1977 but since Tidal Wave can be seen, we know this was from 1978 or later.

Also, Here is my 1982 book which I had posted last year (in case you have not seen it)

I remember that book from 1982. That was the book that I had purchased in 1983 from a bargain closeout of Marriot's merchandise. Thanks for the memories...
While this is a little late, I also noticed the big maps from 1986 and 1987. I believe I once had both of them. Good job scanning those because from what I remember those were HUGE

^ I looked for the year but didn't notice it Thanks for pointing it out.
Also, Another copy of this book was for sale on ebay a month or so ago. I believe it sold for around $22.00 along with an old park map. I was tempted to bid on it in the interest of getting an extra copy,. but then I decided let it go.
I'll be scanning another park map sometime soon

They're back, you get one when you park from the toll booth.SFGAmfreak4life wrote:Too bad the maps are small now.
Which means I'll never get one, since I don't have to go through the toll booth when I visit the park.

Next is the 1988 map for Gurnee
here is a large version

On the back I noticed that the gas station is mentioned.
It was located in parking concourse ''section N'', - self service,
closed one hour after park closing.
=========================================
also, I scanned the front side of a 1995 brochure
see bottom of this gallery for 3 (HIGH RES) pics

I reposted the 1976 map.
http://www.pbase.com/redfishpaw/image/62869718/original
It is now one large file size (like I have done recently with other maps), instead of separate pieces

They probably did this because at the time they created these maps the rollercoaster was not fully constructed and operational.
Thanks for the heads up. My favorite used to be the commercials for the Z-Force. At the time I was thinking that there was a "dive" immediately after the initial drop. As that didn't happen, I can only surmise that either a different ride was used, or that there was another Great America park with the ride.
