Obviously there is no weight limit on this ride!:wow:
 
The roller coaster had to have slowed down to a crawl with that much beef riding on it.
 
Ow. My eyes are blinded by the white. I'll never complain about the Nike jersey again.

And which one gets to be the coverboy on the charity beefcake calendar?
 
Rep to whoever can come up with the name to the log ride at old eliches

I want to say it was the Lumberjack, but it could have been the Splinter. Too many wasted braincells since then to remember correctly.
 
Where would we be with out Google and wikipedia?

Man, those boys need to get out in the sun more? How long did it take Elitches to re-water the ride when they were finished?
 
Yep it was the splinter. I loved that ride. I really miss old Elich gardens.

Yea I also like how it was nestled into an urban neighborhood, kind of like the old ballparks. I hate to see stuff like that go away. :sad1:

At least they kept some original structures around like the carousel and the theater, although last I heard the theater was just sitting there decaying and not being restored. It's too bad that places like Ebbets Field or Shibe Park have not even a trace of them left standing. I love what they did in Pittsburgh with keeping a portion of the original outfield wall and flagpole in place.
 
So who's who?

Miller and ...? in the front
Bahr and Givens behind them
Can't tell who are in the next two rows but think that's Adtkins in front of the little kid and then Cody and Mohler in the back with a kid..

I thought the kid was Cody.
 
i also agree with the poster above there seems to be a bit of a shirtless "beefcake" angle to this year's fall camp photos. :huh:

That looks like Daniels in the front row with Miller.
