Help Identifing Brochure Year.

Jungle Larry Brochure
I'm assuming this is somewhere between 1966 and 1974. Jungle Larry opened in 1965 and it mentions a new Australian exibit but does not mention the chartersphere dome.

Fontier Trail Brochure
At this point I'm just assuming this is from 1971 because that's when the Frontier Trail opened.

Anyone has any better ideas for the years on these?

The Frontier Trail one probably was from 1972 or a little later because of the photographs of the people on the trail. Other than that I have no idea.

If you refer to the map of how to get to cedar point and match it to the maps on other brochures that the date is know, I think Jungle Larry is most likely 1968. It is without a doubt before 1972 when the maps changed.

As for Frontier Trail, using the same approach I would guess 1971 or 1972.

Oh man, Frontier Trail used to have so much more. When I walk Frontier Trail now, it is still a nice area, but it is so sad to see how much more there used to be. The image posted by Jason Hammond is one of the best I've ever seen. Thank you Jason.

The old mill (Next to Snake River Falls exit) is such an incredible historical treasure and it seems like a lost little child at Cedar Point. Cedar Point took the time and effort to bring this mill piece by piece from North Carolina in the early 1970's, and now it seems they are letting it slowly waste away.

According to the Pointbuzz history section, the J. W. Addington Mill did not open until 1976 (May 15). I’m assuming that this is the official name of the Grist Mill by Snake River Falls. The Frontier trail brochure must be from 1976 or later since there is a picture of the mill on the front cover. The Grist Mill is named on the inside with no description; perhaps they didn’t know what they would show or do in the mill.

Off topic, but... Visiting Crafts Center? Where did that used to be?

It loks like it was next to the Glass Blowing Amphitheater. Looking at my other park guides, it appears as though it was taken out to make room for Thunder Canyon.

Maybe the park not being in existence before the 1830's would have something to do with that as well. ;)

Jason - I wish I could be more help in determining dates for you, but as always, I enjoy seeing the new brochure's you've managed to add to your collection. And thanks for sharing them on the web.

^ Indeed. It never ceases to amaze just how much the park has changed, even in the last 20 years.

I'm glad you enjoy them. I can't get enough myself :) Once I find an easier way to scan my larger items, I'll start puting up my souvenir maps as well.

I know they make those pass through scanners (they have been using them for our insurance cards at the doctors) but I don't know if they make them wide enough (and cheap enough) to do the souvenir maps.

Speaking of which, I need to dig mine up and get frames for them.

They do, but they're incredibly expensive. We have them here in the engineering dept for full-scale prints and such, and they can accept 48" wide documents. Perhaps a Kinko's or similar facility might be able to help you out.

Hence my cheap enough comment. I figured someone made them, but not necessarily on the consumer market.

I agree that its nice to see the old brochures. Brings back a lot of memories. I never saved any of those old maps/brochures because we got them all the time.

Well, if my company ever gets the large format copier/plotter, I'll have no problem. it's about $13K though. So it might be a year or 2.

Don't let them get a plotter! We had a demo unit for a week, and it was... *ziiip* the longest... *zip-chunk-ziiip* week... *ziip-zap* of our... *ziiiiip* lives. Full-scale prints that took 3-10 seconds were taking 40-120. Not good.

Laser is the only way to go in large format printers. :)

As a drafter, I would still call it a plotter. The machine I was speaking of is a Laser Plotter. Pen Plotters are a dime a dozen. I haven't used a Pen plotter in about 5 years. It was cool, but sloooow. It always baffeled me. I could never figure out how it decided what to plot first. Sort of mezmarizing. It isn't even worth 100 bux anymore.
