Does anyone have any photos of the "Wild Maus" rollercoaster that was in Pontchartrain Beach? We are thinking of using it in the climax of this cartoon I'm working on, as the persistent rumors that "yeah, man, it's always closed for repairs these days 'cause some kid went flying off it and broke his skull" fit all too well with the morbid tone of the song.
Photos of the Beach are rarer than I'd imagine online, despite its place in the hearts of anyone who grew up in New Orleans before it was torn down in the eighties. I just keep finding the same ten photos from the sixties via Google. I vaguely remember it had a dense, boxy shape and some weird graphics but the Internet is failing me.
Anyone got some faded photos kicking around in a shoebox or album? Let me know!
