DBInternational Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Believe it or not, it did. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/business/landmark-shopping-center-coming-down/nXHrB/ http://www.daytonhistorybooks.com/board/board_topic/1550893/442229.htm guess you learn something new every day... Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Indeed it did. The one I have always heard of was Lakeside Park: http://rcdb.com/10481.htm It even had Flying Turns and a dandy Schmeck wooden coaster. 1 Quote
XjoshhyX Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Thats actually super cool. Wish they still had something like that up that way. I love little parks like Stricker's Grove, which is kind of what this sounds like to me. Would be neat to see a few small parks pop up at some point with a couple neat coasters. 2 Quote
BB1 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 For a second there Terp, I thought you meant Lakeside Park Kentucky! Quote
DBInternational Posted June 29, 2013 Author Posted June 29, 2013 Also, I talked to my dad and he said he went to a place called "Americana" as a young child. I did some research and found out he was talking about LeSourdesville. It's kinda sad to see so many defunct amusement parks. 3 Quote
westcoaster Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Yes they did, and Ludlow Kentucky, and forgot where in Cincinnati but yes a rival to Coney at one time. Love reading on history of amusement parks: Quote
DBInternational Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 Dayton had two parks. The other was Frankie's Forest Park located on North Main Street. Cool facebook page to check out is Dayton History Books Online. Here's an aerial of Frankie's they posted earlier today: 3 Quote
