While digging around on random sites for whenever the Cedar Point Causeway opened, I found this handy blog. It shows Cedar Point in 1966.

If you want, post anything you feel like relates to amusement parks, no matter how big or small (and yes, this is different from that previous thread about defunct coasters. It's more like a catch all, which failed last time).
oh and do i win the award for "Longest Thread Title"?
Just posting to see if the title gets chopped when the 'Re:' is added at the beginning...
(E2A: No, it doesn't. Something has changed...)
Anyway, I like to mess up several Six Flags parks in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, namely Magic Mountain, Great Mountain, Over Texas, as well as the European Walibi Belgium and Walibi Holland (which is actually outside Holland, but still in the Netherlands) which were part of Six Flags back when RCT2 was released, by building 'Interstate-grade' pathways across them. All five are avalaible on 'Street' View, and I like to compare my destroyings with what is in place in real life. For example, this bridge (https://www.google.es/maps/@40.1382384,-74.4343104,3a,66.8y,133.9h,75.26t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s2QPj1qkkVpVcsMxjQqiN-A!2e0) sometimes becomes an underwater tunnel.
Back from when Kings Dominion first opened in the 1970s:

This had to be a few years later because you can see the King Kobra down at the end of the lake where the Anaconda later appeared. It wasn't there when the park first opened. The lake was mostly filled in during the late 1980s/early 1990s.

They used to sell postcards showing the rides:

Then you had this thing that was demolished in the early 1980s. Our parents wouldn't let us ride it after some idiot tried to stand up while riding and got killed:

So here's something else from the 1970s, which I posted in Ontario's Highways.

Here's a video about it:
