More Flags and Springs

I found two more brochures that are related to two other posts that I've posted this month. First here's a 1977 brochure to Six Flags Over Texas...

This Six Flags brochure prominently features Professor Cyrus Cosmo, which the internet tells me was character created exclusively for the park.  It's reported Professor Cyrus Cosmo came into existence because Six Flag's contract with Sid and Marty Krofft and there characters ended. I wonder if Six Flags Over Texas once had a Krofft puppet show like Kings Island had?

Lastly is another brochure for Silver Springs this time from 1993...

Florida's Silver Spings

Here's a brochure from 1977 for Florida's Silver Springs...

Like Weeki Wachee,  Silver Springs was once owned by ABC Leisure Attractions -  a subsidiarity of the American Broadcasting Company.

Check out the fine print on this map if you don't believe it ...

Silver Springs is no longer owned by a private company, and is now a Florida State Park.

Numerous famous movies and television shows were filmed at Silver Springs. For example the 50's TV show Sea Hunt starring Lloyd Bridges.  Check out a young Larry Hagman in this episode titled "Legend of the Mermaid..."


And most impressive to me, one of the greatest movie monsters ever swam thru the crystal clear waters of Silver Springs the Creature from the Black Lagoon ...
