It was the Best. We used to go every summer when Goodyear treated all the employees and families to a day at the best park. I liked it better than Cedar Point

It’s beyond DISGUSTING that it was closed forever! It was a Temple of young happiness. For me, a tribute to the Golden 70s, and the freedom we once had. It’s ridiculous that the state didn’t step in and do something! This wasn’t just some business. There was no other place on Earth like it! To an 8 year old in 1978, it was PARADISE!

Wow some very cool pieces of vintage video history. The video editor looks almost identical to the score board controller at the ice rink i skate at.
