  2. Thank you! I'm not a fan of rollercoasters, to be honest… so there's the fear for you! ;)

  4. Hey, thanks! This wasn't the idea at first but when I got home and saw them all, the idea of the series struck me. I liked how I tend to find letterforms out of their shapes, you know? Anyway, thanks again! – Cheers.

  5. Hey Tom... took me a while to get here... a bad week at work, and more of the same on the horizon... a necessary evil.

    You find the craziest stuff. This is a dream world, ghosts of pleasures past here, incredible they couldn't keep it running. Up near where my brother lives in Auburn, New Hampshire, there is a really old amusement park which is still going, or it was a few years ago...

  6. We had the pleasure of riding this rollercoaster about 15 years ago. We drove up from Lancaster, saw an old-fashioned magic show and then rode the Cyclone twice. We just wanted to ride it because it was such an old coaster. It was thrilling! I was wondering what happened to it after the park closed. Thanks for bringing a tear to my eye with these beautiful photographs. Williams Grove was a magical place from another time.
