Not sure the date on this but this is my Dad (center), brother (right), and cousin (left). It is 1970 something though. (sorry I know this is a 80's thread)

(yes there used to be guns that shot air and made noises!)

They're still there. Used one about 2 weeks ago.

Also, your pictures are great.

Thanks. Great. At one time it seemed that they removed them but maybe it was a refurb.

I just went for a cruise on the Speedway just before you - I'm in the car on the left - summer 1984.

I am am not too sure, I wasn't even born yet

Maybe someone on here can pinpoint it.

I think it's the original hub in the MK. You can see one of the gazebos off to the right.

There's something beautiful and creepy about seeing the oldness of the photos... I don't know

Nothing against you, but that's just sad. I mean that by how radically different the hub looks today as compared to when this photo was taken. People can't recognize THE HUB of the MK. That speaks volumes about how much this area has changed, and not for the better.

Yeah, I know. It's why I said "was this". If I had to make a stab at it, I would have guessed the hub just based on the shape. I hadn't noticed the mansard roofed structure in the background on the right as was pointed out, a bit of a giveaway. Was more focused on the rooftops on the left and trying to place them. Guess it may be something in the Liberty Square area as it does not appear to be Main St or Tomorrow/Adventure/Fantasylands.

Look at that short shirt and white shorts! WOW! Holy 80s!

Hmmm... ok I thought that was HM off to the left so I was way off on my guess!

Hub light poles can be seen all around. Liberty Square buildings in the background on the left, with the northwest hub gazebo on the right. The shot is taken with the Liberty Square path directly behind the subjects of the photo.

I think I still have that same visor laying around somewhere.
