This set of photos comes from a batch of July 1971 shots. Naturally I had to zoom in close for a better look at the signage:
The gorilla was still hanging around as of 1971:

Dave, as much as I love the JC; I do look frward to it's chang and know it's replacement will be just amazing as ever.Thanks for all those wonderful JC memories.
I've got to say I prefer this earlier version of the J.C. Marquee (even though, like the Tiki Room, it owes a lot to carefully concealed Googie architecture of the time).
I find today's version far too Pasteurized to be interesting. It's very well done of course, but the new stuff has the look that you could find at a high-end Banana Republic Mall outlet.
The old version also had just the right touch of "gruesome" that little boys love.
This is how I remember the J.C. entrance looking for all of my childhood. It's great to see it again! I agree with Katella...the newer boathouse is nice, but I think I prefer this simpler, more rustic entrance.
Thank you Dave for posting one of my favorite attractions. Looking forward to Sunday's post.
