Tiki History-Bali Ha'i at the Beach, Pontchartrain Beach, New Orleans, LA - General Tiki

Personal anecdote: When I was about twelve, my dad's company made commercials for Ponchartrain Beach. My laugh was used as a tag after the closing jingle. I rode that roller coast (the Zephyr) about 20 times without stopping while my dad and the cameraman were at the top of the highest hill shooting. While they were up there, a rather sizeable chunk of the wooden railing broke off from rot and termite damage. I never rode it again. But still, a very cool memory. Oh, yeah, I also got to tickle the performing dolphins tongues. They apparently really dig that. [ Edited by: purple jade on 2003-07-18 16:09 ]
