As of this summer, the only attraction that remains is the park’s ferris wheel. For years, however, the park’s midway and rides and overall structure remained, even as the property’s foliage began to swallow them up.
Here’s a slideshow of photos that showcase what the park was since its closing several decades ago. (The property now boasts an entertainment complex, featuring a hotel and spa, restaurants and more.)

Entertainment complex???? Nope.
Why didn’t they just recreate the amusement park? Give it some life by recreating all the same rides with new everything? The person who is buried there would be quite satisfied to be back under “The Big Dipper” again! We have plenty of “Entertainment” complex’s and malls. Need to just start over and make a new theme park with all of the same names and put everything back in it’s original locations.
There is nothing there. Its still an abandoned forest.
Had to laugh when I read “The property now boasts an entertainment complex, featuring a hotel and spa, restaurants and more.” In fact, the property was razed and now sits empty. Funding for the development fell through years ago.
