RIP Picto! Seemed like she kept it going far longer than anyone expected.

Re: But really
did it have a 'green screen' television monitor with a 'square' bock diagram that when it stopped working one day, An**rs F--- walked up during a down time, punched the power, tore the Coax out of the back and said "Now it really doesn't work! You're back up". Before 'witnessed block chec...

Re: Screams and Dreams 1972-1984
So I understand someone got sent a DVD copy of this (ahem), are they going to sell them? If not, are we going to see it posted?

I hear you, sometimes hooking up with friends from the old days invites the removal of scabs from the old days!

Re: California Great America is SOLD to JMA
I would be careful about getting excited about this Jimmy. That park is in Silicon Valley and if a real estate firm bought it their plan may be to remove the park and redevelop the land.

Re: Shockwave Trains
Shockwave was not capable of running 4 trains, only 3 as I remember. I don't remember ever seeing a 4th train. However, I wasn't on the original Shockwave crew, I was there 2nd half of '89 (2nd season), I suppose it could have been gone by then. I only remember three storage tracks and all three tra...

Re: Iron Wolf to be removed for sure.
Man I am going to have to do an Iron Wolf post in her memory. I wasn't on the inaugural crew but got transfered there her first season. Some interesting things happened that's for sure!

Re: Great America Alumni Day - June 26, 2011
Probably because they didn't do JACK in publishing it, I never heard of it. This forum is one I stop by every few months and I missed it. We have a SFGA Alumni Group on Facebook they could have posted it and I'm sure they would have had a great response.

Jimmy - your reports are starting to remind me why I haven't been back in years. Dismal tales indeed.

Re: Can we petition Great America to bring back Tidal Wave?
Facebook page started as well: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Return-The-Wave/143963922300768 I snagged one of your photos Steven to use, I hope you don't mind. I figured since you watermarked them you were fine with that. If any issues let me know. I think we can make this happen and have nothing to...

Shapiro Out, Reid-Anderson in.
Some new developments, sure, I fix it on Wikipedia and not update folks here!! I'm a bit worried, Reid-Anderson seems like one of these financial types who is the "comeback from reorganization" types. They get the company running decently enough to be bought out or liquidate -- I've rarely...

Re: IT"S GONE! WHAT IS NEXT?
Well said!! I understand the original IMAX equipment is gone but they aren't still using IMAX projectors from 1978 around are they? I would think IMAX would be more than happy to lease something reasonably to get one of their biggest screens up and going again. I've only seen one screen close to the...
