Seattle World's Fair, September 1962
Hey everybody, come with me to the Gay Way! No no, I mean the amusement zone at the "Century 21" Exposition in Seattle.
Here's a familiar ride, they must have had these all over the country. It was known as "The Octopus" at Magic Mountain; and there was a version at Pacific Ocean Park. This one (whatever it was called) looks pretty cool with its black paint and red trim. Notice our pals with their Beethoven and Brahms sweatshirts...
Ya can't have an amusement zone without a "Wild Mouse" roller coaster. Even DCA has one... I have to admit that they are kind of fun, but there's something unsettling about the total lack of banked turns. The impression that your car is going to fly off the track is intense.
Ah, now we're back with the guys, this time riding the cool-looking Ferris Wheel. Love the color in this shot!

They're having a fun day!
Know what? It kinda rubs off doesn't it? :)
Those B&B kids are swell. It's nice to see them again, and they're having so much fun, too!
Fun photos - why you might even say they're gay.
The Octopus looks awesome with its Bat-mobile paint job - looks like they waxed it!
That Ferris Wheel thing is a trip if not somewhat precarious! Love the "Bounce" sign off to the left...
