Description

  • Content Description: Photograph of an amusement ride at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. Supports for the ride's tracks extend across the left and right sides of the photograph's foreground, giving the appearance of the camera looking out from behind them. Metal cars filled with passengers face downward as their tracks twist into a curve and then a descending slope in the center of the photo. A metal walkway with railings stretches across the tracks the passengers ride along, with a ladder in the right side of the photo leading from the ground to the platform. Additional tracks for the ride can be seen in the background of the photo, disappearing amongst trees and track supports, with one line of tracks extending over both the passengers and the platform above them.
  • Physical Description: 1 photograph : negative, b&w ; 35 mm.
