Three defunct parks you could visit

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby RBull4life on September 28th, 2005, 10:30 am
Imagine that you had a choice of three long gone amusement parks that you could visit. Which parks would they be?

1) Riverview. Obvious choice here. The first ride I would hit. The Bobs.

2) Dreamland (Coney Island circa early 1900's) The archy, the atmosphere, and the wild, and insane rides they had at the time.

3) Idora Park - Youngstown Ohio. One word. Wildcat.

Man, I must be getting old because I have been to Old Chicago. Granted, I was only about 6 at the time, but still. :lol:

Riverview is my #1 for parks I would have liked to visit. Bastards closed down 4 years before I was born. :o

Since it doesn't look like Lesourdsville is going to open again, that would be my #2.

#3 would be the soon to be closing down SF Astroworld. :lol:
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Riverview......

My grandparents talk about this place all the time! The BOBS are their point of interest most of the time

Yes I will, because now I will have to travel to various SF parks starting next year to experience the rides. :lol:
