Frontier Trail Souviner Map

I recently got this frontier trail souviner map. Does anyone know if this was something they handed out when Frontier Trail opened or if people had to pay for them like a regular souviner map.

Is your's the color shown on the image? They have a full color version on display in the Town Hall museum.

BTW, I miss Aunt Em's pie shop. Those cherry pies were excellent!

I miss the original rail road lines you would walk across at Cedar Junction.

The color you see is the color I have. It didn't scan great, it's not faded on the left like it appears to be. I might rescan it later to see if it turns out any better. The map was made to look like it was old. It's only about 12x20 maybe a little bigger. That's an pproximation based on my memory. I'm out of town right now. It was only folded in the middle. In it's folded state it would be about twice the size of a folded up brochure or park guide.

Rapids 77-78, I miss Aunt Em's, too. Early in the season we'd run there after work for fresh strawberry pie and hope they'd have some left.

I guess if we worked there now we could go for fortune cookies, couldn't we?

^Right with you on that one, Mac.

Where did you work?

Cool acquisition, Jason. Is there anything on the back at all?

It's obviously pre-1969, since Mine Ride is nowhere to be seen.

That may not be true Mike. If you look at the Frontier Lift station it looks to still be in use. Mine Ride would be right on the other side of that which is not pictured on the map.

You're right. I missed that.

According to cp.com (http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/news/history/index.cfm), the trail opened in 1971. CCMR opened in 1969.

BTW, Walt/Jeff - what happened to the timeline here on Pointbuzz? A casualty of the redesign?

^That's been gone for a while. I think it was well before the redesign. Until someone comes up with something better, Cedar Point Timeline

Ensign, there is nothing on the back.

^ - it was there up until the redesign, but it wasn't getting updated. The newest stuff was 2004 or 2005.
