I stopped by the park on the way home from work. I had a quick conversation with the company's GMs and then I had to get home quickly. Think Forrest Gump meeting President Kennedy. Here are a few pictures from across the Lake:





The new look on the old carousel building looks like it has a patriotic paint scheme


As someone who always wanted a water park in my back yard, this looks really cool


Here's the Jack Rabbit


Here's the first drop


A little of the old and the new


This is the Main Midway


Rehabing the Thunder Bolt


A final look at the Star Attraction

I hope to find out. I only stayed a few minutes. Maybe next time. 

Does anybody remember if they were able to walk around the exterior of the carousel building before the tigers came? My last visit to the park was in 1983 before the tigers.

I took a few more pictures and put them in this album:

Since 1983  ?  so you never been on J2 ?
As I remember the last few times I seen the Tiger show and bear show
behind the carousel building they had the Tiger cages and a old Camping trailer for the animal crew.
So we could not walk behind but we could walk in the front.

This carousel brings back many memories as a child,when we used to swim in the lake my Mom (god rest her soul) used to setup the blanket under a giant willow tree between the lake and the carousel and she would just listen to the music all day (Johnny Mathis type music).
We owned this park.After school and in the summer swimming and playing pinball all day and Kicking but on the biggest best Flyers around.

this is from Today, they drain down the lake in the winter.
I used to ice skate here in the winter.

Jack Rabbit is coming down before next season. I am waiting for an email that will tell me when it will start but it should be any day now.

Damn he still has those red lights on top of that golf cart...

The line for opening day starts here


I love un-S&L turns


There's less rust on these rails than Rolling Thunder and this coaster hasn't run in 5 years


Here is some clearing of a game area.


The Jack Rabbit in the distance


The game room is now closed


and that's no bull


The area behind the carousel is mysterous like the land behind Medusa


Is this the way to Tom Sawyer Island?


Here's the rest:

Tom, Did you forget the plan.  " Let's post ..."Strong Winds Knocked it over, not a crane"   

to see more of the photos click the top right 2 buttons to remove the sides, found under the search button looks like a 3 dot pyramid.
Originals are 10mp these are reduced to fit the screen and seems blurry at its smaller size ?
Jack Rabbit is gone   1919 - 2007   RIP 12-03-2007

Where's my coaster \/

I drove by Clementon at 2:55 and this part of the coaster was still standing.


I came back with my camera at 3:35 and it was gone.


J1?


Pretty, Pretty

Wow that was quick. In a matter of 20 mintutes, that's insane.

Indeed, sad.  How quickly it came down, in just a day's work.  Amazing.

It was my first coaster, I was about 5 when I rode it.  I could not get enough.  I had not ridden it since I was a child, though I would have liked that one last ride.

I do understand the demise, its time had come and gone.  The coaster was in terrible shape and could not have been saved.  I wouldn't mind getting a piece of ledger board or something from it though.
