While looking through my late grandfather's thousands of film slides from the last several decades, we came across a handful of photos taken at Old Country. Thought some of you might enjoy them. The people featured in most of the photos are my dad, uncle, and grandmother. All of the photos were taken in July 1976, with the exception of the Der Hochbeinige photo, which was taken in May 1988. It's very likely there could be more slides floating around in the probably hundreds of boxes he has, so I'll follow up if any more turn up. Haven't figured out exactly what to do with them yet, but for now they're being hosted on my Flickr account, so you can view all of them there. All the original photos were taken by Bill Clarke (my grandfather).
This is my first attempt at photographing 35mm slides (using a lightbox and DSLR, then color correcting in Lightroom), so apologies if the quality isn't great. Going to attempt to 3D print a macro extension tube to get sharper images, so if that yields better results I'll update the photos.
I was also able to grab photos of Magic Kingdom (1972, 1973, 1974) and Cypress Gardens (what eventually became Legoland Florida - 1968); can post links to those when they go up if anyone's interested. I've seen evidence of a trip to Kings Dominion in the late 70's, but haven't come across any actual slides from there yet unfortunately.
