In celebration of SFGAmZone's 3'rd anniversary online, I've decided to pull out several things from the two boxes of Great America stuff I have been filling over the years. Most of this stuff ranges from late 90s to current, so I'll try to keep most of the newer stuff out.

Also note, all things being posted have been watermarked with "SFGAMZONE.COM" to prevent "theft".

To start, I have re-scanned the 1997 Brochure to include the ride list and new for 97 Attractions.

How did you make those watermarks? did you use Paint or something like that?

I miss the Looney Tunes on the old SF maps. Why did Shapiro replaced the Looney Tunes with little kids crap?

My guess is Jon is using Photoshop to add the watermarks. It's fairly simple in that and Gimp.

Also, I don't think Shaprio got rid of the Loony Toons and replaced them with kids characters. It just seems like the Loony Toons in general have not been seen as much around the park in previous seasons and the kiddie characters have shown a slightly bigger presence. I remember seeing a few loony toons a few times last season.

Something for you Tiny the Spider fans... an article published 10/15/04 in the News Sun

Sweet, I love old stuff

+ I have quite a collection my self if you'd ever like to see it (jon)

American Eagle Postcard! I have more postcards, I don't think they make these anymore...

Why does the American Eagle looks so different? It is just me or the picture?

Probably because that pic was taken at least 10 years ago.

Something for you SpyGirl fans (if there are even any...)

Raging Bull bumper sticker.

^Nice!

Raging Bull!

Oh! You have a 1997 map? How many of those do you have? If you have one, darn....

Some of these things are awesome! Should I post some of my stuff on here?

Yes make a new thread and post them, we'd be glad to see them.

I only have one 97 map, it was from my first visit to the park, and I didnt know I had it until about 3 years ago.

Oh that's cool!

So does that mean you have a 98, 99, 00, 01?

Or just a 97 then to 2004

I do not have any other maps until 2003. The 2003 map will be posted eventually.

Here's an Iron Wolf postcard



Just so everyone knows, the coloring on the postcards will be a bit "off" because of the way the scanner picks up the reflective finish.

very cool thanks for posting

Some "mashed pennies"

L-R: Bull, Eagle, Demon, Wolf, Superman, Batman.

I think they removed the penny mashing machines machines last year.

Here's a news segment that aired April 28, 2006 about Great America turning 30.

I have a park map from about 1984 that my grandmother found. If I ever get the chance, I'll scan it and upload it.

I remembered watching this back at 10 when it first aired. :)

Here's another video! This was a segment shown on Real TV about the Demon Accident in 1998.

It was just uploaded seconds ago; if it isn't working right away wait about 10 minutes for it to process.

Oh my, How did the Demon got people upside down?

This stuff is awesome, It would be sweet to get stuck on Demon like that!

I think a wheel came apart and the ride did a emergency stop, just so happened to be on the loop.

Bleh... I'm getting lazy.

Here's another video. This one aired on WFLD-32 in 2005:

(Wait about 10 mins from post time if it is not working, it may still be processing.)

That We like the party song in the background is repeating.

We should just re-name this like, SFGAm unofficial museum Presented by SFGAmZone...Now it just sounds like a ride at the park...

I found this while going through some old stuff

Were you a police guard back then?

Those are the stickers the security guards give to kids at the park.

I started putting some old 6flags stuff in a shoebook and I plan doin it for a while for memories, but some of the things in there are
-a pic of v2 I took years ago
-2009 coupon book
-2008 map

-2009 map
-2009 frightfest map
-6flags wallet
-one of those "six flags superfan challange" cards
-some off that webbing stuff they use durring frightfest (2009)

That's all right now but I plan on adding more.

Is there any way you could make this into a signature?

Just resize it; it would work great.

Let me buy this off you! I have Iron Wolf and Viper.....The Viper one just looks terrible because it looks like a bad case of photoshop.

With the rides 30th season on the horizon I would wait and see what the park puts out because on the FB page they are saying the blueprint posters will be back. I bet the postcards and a few other items come back out this season .

How old is that postcard? I noticed it was .59 cents. So it's probably eight to ten years old?
