They were still there in 2005,...last year I think...I miss them...
Wow! We were even luckier than I thought to see a FW peacock one last time. I remember when they were EVERYWHERE! Glad Hubby had the camera handy!
Great old pics! With such a rich history of Fort experiences under your belt, why did it take you until March 2010 to join the DIS?? Holding out on us?
But seriously, thank you for sharing. I have thoroughly enjoyed ignoring you. And I hope to ignore you a lot more in the future.
Our computer was crashed.....for five years!
We just got a laptop this Feb. (with what might be our very last tax refund ever...but I don't want to get political since it's against the rules!) DH would read threads at work and print the highlights for me to read at home. I guess you could say I was a lurker by proxy!
Seriously...the kind comments are appreciated, and mom is just eating up the fact that her pics are a hit. She's so cute about it. Don't be shocked if I end up posting ancient brochures and such. Feel free to ignore those too!
BTW, glad you and yours made it safely through the storms and flooding.
KFK-
More great stuff!
The photo with the pelicans is definitely DI not RC.
And, check this out-
Here is your photo of the exit for the slide known as White Water Rapids:
And, here's what it looks like today:
Show that to your mom!
TCD
I kinda thought the pelicans were at DI...just made more sense. D.I. used to be named something else in the earlier days, but for the life of me I can't think of it now. Mom has an old ticket or something with it on there. Gonna have to investigate further unless someone else remembers.
White Water Rapids....I had forgotten the name of that tube ride. How sad to see it overgrown with no water around it. Who took that pic anyway? You're cousin Yuri?
Wish I had a pic of the long curvy flume slide...can't remember the name of that one either.
I'm ignoring you too just for the record.
Love the photos! I think I've seen the FW otters over in the WL pond.
And that is sad to see the TCD photo of what it looks like today where your brother was coming down the slide. My boys & I never got to go to RC either. My DH did as a kid. One day I hope to go through their family pictures and see if I can find any. Our first family trip was 2000 and their was just so much to do we decided to wait until a later vacation to go to RC. Wish we had known that there would not be another chance.
Thanks again for the thread. I ignored it as long as I could, but my curiosity finally won out.
And it was a nice surprise to find all the vintage photos.
Glad you decided to ignore me. Welcome to this very unexpected, odd sort of thread. Hope you can dig up some of your DH's photos. I'd love to see them! I'm sorry you never got to experience RC. It it still my hands down favorite water park of all time! It was one of a kind!
I really WANT to believe in the otters, really I do! Maybe I should start wearing an I BELIEVE T-SHIRT w/an otter on the front. Think that would help my faith in the existence of otters. With no peacocks left...I really need something to believe in!
About your curiosity...glad you're not a cat!
KFK, as your DH I have enjoyed ignoring you too these last 15 years.
I kinda like it when you ignore me.
15 WUNNERFUL years!
