I was there the first year it opened in '73. I was only seven years old, but a lot has changed since then. Nevertheless, I remember the theme song so well because it would play all through the park on ground-mounted speakers.

I was there, it was my Seventeenth Birthday. My then girlfriend's parents played instruments or were part of the band for the business's party of the Grand Opening. Those were interesting days. I had already planned to join the US Army. Terry and I had a wonderful time there. I still have the chalk drawing of myself that was drawn there that day!

My dad helped in this trailer. His class was told to ride as many rides as possible, so it looked like lots of kids there. I asked him which one he was, and he said he was in one of the background shots.

The train ran around the inside of the park with two stations. The first station was just under the bridge as you enter the park. The other station was at the rear of the park. It was removed in 1976 to reduce the park's operating expenses. They had trams to take you from the parking lot to the entrance, but never a train outside the park to my knowledge.
