Agreed! Torn down for no reason other than it was in the way of the Molson Indy.

Bring back the Flyer, too.

That last photo is great with the two lost CNE landmarks in one frame.

That's why they tore it down?? Brutal, just brutal!

The Flyer...wasn't that renamed The Wild Mouse? I cannot quite remember.

Different one. There were several coasters back in the day (the CHUM Wildcat being another one): the Flyer was the only permanent one...

The Wildcat

The Tornado

 

[lrookies]

Ah yes...the Wildcat. That's why I forgot it...I let a friend talk me into it (1973???). Got sick as a dog...too much food prior to taking the Wildcat ride.

Seems pretty tame looking compared to coasters out there today, eh?

The Alpine Way makes three! The Skyride of today seems boring, but it's great for video shooting!

I'm missing "The Whip"!

I came across some old pics by dad shot. This is 11 Elizabeth street 1991. I think it was his old dental office

Another from 1991- This is University Ave SW corner.

One more- same year. He's written S.W corner University and Dundas "in the background is the new police station"
