1984 date
Hello @Gtccoasters, did you meant to put that 1984 date somewhere else? The sources linked say it opened at Castle Park in 1985. I also found a good newspaper article, which I will link in the article. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 16:43, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi! I put July 16, 1984 because thats what the park states on a sign, Carousels often have very conflicting dates, but I put the parks word first. https://www.flickr.com/photos/rollercoasterphilosophy/28212851037/in/album-72157696841245211 Gtccoasters (talk) 18:53, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hmmm I would normally go with what the park says too, though I can't find any mention of it from 1984 on Newspapers.com. It would be odd for them to get it wrong though. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 22:31, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Such a specific date from the park makes me believe it. However, I checked the park website archives, and they, too, said 1985. At one point, they had all the park history laid out in signage for guests to read. I can ask the park to confirm a date and leave it at 1985 for now. The park is well documented on property, but not a whole lot online. Gtccoasters (talk) 03:52, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- That would be great! Let me know what they come back with. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 12:59, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Just got a response from the park on Facebook, "Hello, thank you for your patience. The opening date for the Carousel is June 16, 1984." Gtccoasters (talk) 20:45, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Trying for confirmation cause that'd give us 3 possible answers. Gtccoasters (talk) 20:49, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hmmm - thats not the most helpful response. We could put 1984-1985. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 22:40, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
