Roger,
I'm writing from my new home in Las Vegas. I worked as a ride operator at Idora Park the summers of 1970-1973. The job helped pay for college. We had just as much fun working as those enjoying the rides. At the end of the night we would sneak down for the last ride on the Wildcat or Jackrabbit. You never got tired of those roller coasters.
my husband and I are the two persons that are on the "wildcat ride", it was on the brown section of the vindy I don't remember the date, I believe it was a company picnic, or we were with a bunch of friends He has his hands in the air coming down from the ride, and I of course am beside him. I have made some copies of it, we are in our 60's now, and would like to get a copy of the magazine with
that picture that has it shown on it. We would love to have any information or suggestions on how we could obtain it.
