reuvenadoniyah Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I was wondering if anyone has looked at some of these older closed parks at sites like these. They mention Americana. It really can be weird to see these places that were once so alive overgrown and forgotten. http://www.defunctparks.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braves0511 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Yeah, i was checking that site out earlier... all of the neat looking old parks owned by regular old private people in the twenties and thirties, all to be shut down by the big corporations in the 50s and 60s... I would have loved to have seen some of those places in their prime. The only older park i know of that made it through part of that era is holiday world, it wasn't built in the 20 or 30's but close enough...
