American Adventure 05/08

[Ancient Mariner]

Those videos are very nostalgic. I remember having a beer or two in that bar in the mall some years ago when the whole park was open and before the main entrance subsided. RIP AA..

It was such a nice day i decided to have a wander around the old American Adventure, the why's and wherefores have been covered in jon_nic's excellent write up so i'll just put up some of my pics and stop talking!

The "heads" still looking good.

Inside the "mountain" amusement area type thingy

Back outside, parts of the railway track still remain where it was difficult to remove

Shops still clinging on, some still have power and running water!

Must of hurt passing this sucker!

And finally, spotted two fox cubs playing in the sun

i remember goin here when i was about 12 ish they had a comp to get a hole in one over lake onto little island and you won a car always remember that mind u it was a bit of a rip off back in the day not alot for yr money or so my folkes said
