You can tell this park has seen its better days and the staff is the most friendly, but that said ... it has a tremendous nostalgic feel and has the power to instantly rekindle those memories that many of has had as children and would like to pass to our children. The rides are classic and not high-tech or fancy,... More

Exactly the same rides when I was little 25+ years ago and the same rides are still in operation. Many do not work and are very scary. I regret putting my kids on one especially. The Rocket.
