Title: Great Adventure Fly-Over Aerial Photos - January 4, 2009
Post by: FlyinPhil on January 05, 2009, 08:58:44 AM

Hi Everyone & Happy New Year....

Yesterday was a winner when it comes to good weather, though I had a rough beginning in that I almost couldn't get my engine started due to the cold weather. But, that was then and this is now, and I've got a heap of pictures for your Off-Season blues.

The BIG NEWS is The Big Wheel....It looks like it is going BYE BYE, though I have heard from others stating it is only being Rehabbed !!!

You can find the pictures at http://www.flyinphilsphotos.com/amuse/nj/sfga/2009-01-04/album0 (http://www.flyinphilsphotos.com/amuse/nj/sfga/2009-01-04/album0)

Enoy ;)

I believe the Big Wheel looked similar when they took it apart for repairs and repainting in 1991.

Yeah, that is what I have heard, that it is being rehabbed and NOT removed, though it sure looks like it is on it's "Last Leg"  8)

Thanks for the comments Dan :D

It would be VERY ,VERY sad if it were removed. I am thinking it is a very big staple in the park and is just being rehabed.

Great photos phil. I am not liking the look of Medusa's paint job. Anyone know if it is going to stay that color? Blue and Purple are not too good together .

I am pretty sure it is. SFNE's is the same way, just opposite.

I actually think the Purple and Blue is fairly sexy, I hope the name however, doesnt suck

Great pics,Thanks Phil.  Medusa's new paint job reminds me a little bit of Scream at SFMM, but I think that has yellow track.

Ok well its been a while since I've been to Cali. and   my browser keeps freezing when I try to open rcdb.  I don't know if I like those colors in a Western themed area.
