June 2012Hey, it's nearly Summer - time when a Bunny and um...friend, can go to the beach - or maybe the local Amusement Park... Back in Chicago, that would've been Riverview Park, which is long gone now... Unlike many old amusement parks which may've had one or perhaps two roller coasters - Riverview had about Five (Plus the "Flying Turns" which is like a roller coaster, just it goes through a tube)... The Largest and Wildest coaster at Riverview was "The Bobs" (Which gave its name to a class of coasters, that take up less ground space because they're so twisted into knots and hard curves)... The only ride at the park more frightening than the "Bobs" was the Parachute Tower (as seen in the calendar background). This was built as a replica of the 1939 World's Fair Parachute Tower - that one was later moved to Steeplechase Park in Coney Island, where it is still standing - though no longer operational... (While the Riverview Tower was demolished with the rest of the park, after it was closed back in 67)... But anyway, back to thrills and excitement with our favorite Bunny - Sometimes Kelly and Vicky go places on a sort of a "Chums date"... Kelly is hoping to meet some cute guys, while Vicky is hoping that they won't... And while many people love the thrills of a roller coaster, others might find its ups and downs a bit unsettling - Still, there's plenty of other rides to try - the Chute the Chutes - Ferris Wheel - Aladdin's Fun House - or the Carousel is more sedate - maybe even the Old Mill (Tunnel of Love)... Er - No, come to reconsider, that probably isn't the best choice either... Which brings to mind - usually we do Bikini calendars for the Summer months - this year I thought it might be interesting to see the girls on various rides at the Amusement park -- but I'm open to votes and opinions - anyone who cares to, may email in your preferences - or you can even SnailMail in your vote (Special consideration will be given to any votes scribbled on a 5 or 10 spot)... Anyway - guess that's enough gab for this month... JQ |
