THE ENTIRE SITE IS BEING UPDATED BUT IS GETTING A LITTLE BETTER EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
Everything should be back to normal eventually.


IDORA PARK
IDORA PARK is a Youngstown Ohio amusement park that suffered extensive fire damage in th 1980's. Very little remains today of the park. Inside you will find numerous pictures of the park after the fire, as well as some pictures and information about the park during its glory days.

Chippewa Lake Park
Chippewa Lake Park near Medina Ohio still has many remains still standing as though the park was just left one day. Many rides were auctioned, but many still stand today as they have since it closed more than 20 years ago.

Heritage USA
Heritage USA. See the park that Jimmy built. This is a work in progress, but I've posted about 50 of the 200 pictures. The park was basically an entire resort area (2200+ acres) built by James Bakker. When James ran in to some issues, the park was closed and with the exception of a few minor attempts, was basically frozen in time. Much more info to follow, but check this one out!!

Splendid China Park, Kissimmee Florida - 2006 NEW!!
See the park that China built. Operated as recently as 2003, this subject of debate sits abandoned just miles from the entrance to Disney World. This section is still being put together, but please enjoy what is here.

Americana
Americana Amusement Park is located in LeSourdsville Lake, Ohio. I have had this location questioned by two readers, but it does exist. The park has just recently closed and may reopen. Until that time it is a standing and not operating park. This feature is actually taken from my old IllicitOhio site.

Moxahala Park
Moxahala Park is located in the Zanesville area. This park is a recent find thanks to a viewer who was kind enough to send me an email. I don't have much history on the park yet and there are basically just indexed pictures with my signature slow load time. Better page is coming eventually. Added November 26th, 2002.

Cascade Park
Cascade Park is now being used as a city park without rides. Many of the stuctures still stand. I was able to grab a few pictures of the remains during a recent visit.

Fantasy Farm
Fantasy Farm is also located in LeSourdsville Lake, Ohio. This park was last used as a GoKart complex for people who race their own Karts (not like magic mountain). Many of the fixtures from its amusement park days are still visable.

Euclid Beach Park
Euclid has been converted to apartment living, but parts of the old park were integraded or untouched. I took a brief walk through last winter and snapped some pictures of what remains. Hopefully those that once visited the park will recognize a few things. No much is left.

Darlington Lake
Darlington Lake is not a ride park, but rather one of many of the lake resort type parks that existed years ago. This is similar to how Chippewa Lake Park began, only darlington never got rides. My father grew up here as well as my extened family, so I decided to do a little feature on it.
