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

Six years old in 1968...you can take it from there! Those attractions added before 1985 mean the most to me and my childhood memories.

Ditto, How-Do!

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.

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.
