This park is awesome! I hope I get my new computer soon, because if it's up for download, I'm getting it right away!




Everything looks great! It's kinda like a park that you can play in all day!




Once again, incredible job! :D

So, it's that like trading spices and
textiles, just as the ancients did?
That's so last millenium.

Anyone who remembers Palisades should remember the large yellow light poles;

And finally, at long last, here's the facade to the Flight to Mars ride;

I know it's not too close to the original, but I guess you get the idea and the actual facade would be impossible to recreate anyway.

The Octoberfest Funhouse was a favorite at Palisades for years. After Palisades closed, the funhouse was shipped to Williams Grove in PA where it continued to delight people for another 35 years. Williams Grove closed last season, and I do not know the current status of the ride.

I visited Williams Grove a couple seasons ago, and was saddened to see how run down the funhouse was. But it was a pure delight to take my kids through the same attraction that I had walked through dozens of times at Palisades!

Here's a shot of the Barrel Room, with all the tetering barrels ready to fall on you at every step;

Here's the facade of the Octoberfest funhouse;

A closer look at the glockenspiel;

Again, it would be impossible to accurately recreate the actual ride, so I went for a standard Alpine look. Hope you all approve!

Finally, here's one of the rides in Kiddieland;
