Sure is fun to look back this way.

Now, alil' more relax'd....

It's too bad that when they gave 50-year-olds free admission, they couldn't have prorated a rate for those of us who are five years shy.
Mine is EXACTLY like Ozark BBQ's. Even the age of our mothers is the same!

you kids need to calm down a little bit, starting to wear on us old guys.. yes i think they should prorated for us over 50.. maybe add 1 dollar per year or something. oh well!! it still has been a great SDC year, and 2 more trips to go!
MissinTheGreenTrams: My age and ride opening dates match up exactly with yours!
I was there during the opening week of ThuNderaTion, still have the tin cup they sold that year for the opening of that ride; I believe there were also buttons. My dad and I stood in line for hours waiting to get on ThuNderaTion, the line actually started at the main entrance under the sign at the top of the zig-zag hill.

I agree! I was almost 2 years old when the City opened- my wife missed getting a free Season Pass this year by 25 days.
