I want to try to fix this place back to how it was I am going and have the will power someone please please help me with getting on this massive project that I will dedicate my life towards !

I loved that wooden roller coaster! We would ride it, get off and get back in line to ride again. Joyland was so much fun to visit in the 90's when I was growing up!

I can still smell the popcorn

I wonder if anyone remembers the zipper. That one shook me up pretty good.

I wonder how much the demise of joyland has to do with a declining standard of living which is a result of the campaign finance racketeering bribery system in the federal government factories overseas. Wichita used to support kiddieland and joyland.

How short sighted to ask why. List all the things that changed between then and now and their origin, then look in the mirror.

My son found several mosasaur vertebrae near there.

It was my Joyland in 1965

I wish that Joyland Amusement Park was still available and still open for people to still come to it and have wonderful time and carry on the joy and excitement the fun and joy and the excitement happiness and the fond memories of the Park was still there and I wish I could have gone to it with my friends and family and have a wonderful memberal time fun time to share those memories in years to come with other people. But now we will never have that chance to because the park was really unsafe in the years to come people were getting hurt really badly and not to mention it filed for bankruptcy and changing ownership as the years passed on. I wish the park was still but it’s not. It will always be a memory to those who have had the opportunity and the chance to experience the time in Joyland Park they will have those experiences and memories to for years to come. But as for me and many others will never get to have a chance to experience it for ourselves with our family and friends it’s to bad it’s gone now gone forever but live on in memory and in people’s hearts and minds too. That had the time to stay and spend together for a day or so at Joyland Park. In Wichtah Kanas. Sincerely Susan Iseman From Upstate New York

I was there, working as a floor guard at the roller rink. Around 1980 I believe! I never forget the little Filappina kid could go under the limbo bar when it was only about 4" off the floor!

We found the ovary 😭😂 and its not a mental health patient anymore 😭

Man i do miss joyland alot i had a lot of great memories has a kid going there eating popcorn and enjoying the sno cones and riding the rollercoaster but my favorite was rhe go carts my friends and i had a blast and of course i cant forget about the bumber carts we had a blast on those but my friends and we always went to see Louie the clown and watch him play the piano and that my fond memories of joyland hanging out with friends chilling out and having fun but all good thing come to a end i just wish it stayed a little bit longer

I was born after joy land was closed and it always seemed like one of the most coolest amusement parks ever made and once I found this video I never knew I rode the og joy land Carousel at botanica

Wichita let joyland die. Trash city

My first job was there in 76 & 77. I was a game operator and started at $1.60 an hour! 2nd year it was bumped up to $1.70! Makin' big money back then and having a great time doing it! Loved the Corn Dogs!!! So sad that part of my personal history only exists through youtube now...

I'll never forget the time I refuse to go on the wacky shack with the girl that had a crush on me in grade school. Unfortunately, we live in a country now where we cannot have nice things. I'm appalled at the youth today. We were on me when we were young, but never would we do something like tearing amusement park down by vandalizing and destroying it. Very heartbreaking to see this place is gone.

We spent many happy hours at Joyland in the 60's

Who remembers Jerry Ottaway from Carousel Skating rink?

Nothing but good memories for me. I grew up in the 60’s and Joyland was a big part of each school year. As a master of fact I got my first kiss from my sweetheart in darkness of the haunted house, followed by another at the top of the Ferris wheel. It’s a shame that the city didn’t step in and help out keeping the park going.

"and if you think police don't notice, you're wrong" lmao everyone who's driven down Broadway in the downtown area can tell you that's a lie XD it's 30mph and at MINIMUM 90% of the drivers do at least 40. and it's not that the police aren't around, they most certainly are. they just don't give a crap

I worked there from 1972 until the end of the Summer in 1976. I ran the Wacky Shack my last Summer there and loved every minute of it. I remember the Nelson's and I wish I had kept my shirts from back then but I didn't. I remember starting in the games and then the next year, I ran the rides and I can remember gathering up patrons in groups and going from ride to ride with the group. I was lucky enough to move to Myrtle Beach, SC and I got a job at the MB Pavilion from 1977 to 1978. I met my wife there and we have been happily married since 1978. Alas, the MB Pavilion is also no more just like Joyland.

Make it a $2000 fine. I bet they will stop.

What would happen if the jerk that speed by hit his or hers child getting off the bus. I still say it time after time stupid idiotic morons.

Idea move the fucking bus stops so they arent in major intersections...how stupid....move them into parking lots

I was stationed in Germany and school buses in military dependent housing areas with two lane traffic, the drivers angled the school bus across both lanes preventing vehicles from both directions passing a stopped school bus. This prevented cars from passing. It is something to think about.

you killed the bee ?

"VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER" These stupid motorists don't care to Stop..

You have to be a special level of intellectually deficient to not be aware of the very basic and common sense based school bus laws.

I wonder how people get their driver license

The obvious solution is that just like guns cars need to be made illegal for people to own. While guns are used in mass shooting, cars are used in super Mass killings. *Make automobiles illegal now*

Just an idea, why don't we equip the buses with speed cameras that become active when the stop sign on the bus is deployed catching all the vehicles plates that pass slapping them with 1k fines, once the public is aware the yellow buses are equipped with these cameras I'm sure it will lower the rate of violators.

I don't run school bus stop signs. I always stop whenever their stop sign is out.

What $1000🤔 NO $5000 Second time lose your license for a year Third time lose your license for life

That girl admitted that she didn't know it was illegal. How did she get a license? There'a something strange going on here. She should be arrested on the spot.

Bummer they couldn’t save the wacky shack but it’s a blessing there’s the one at waldameer in eerie Pennsylvania. But it’s legend lives on! Along with the park

Stop on the red or make the driver see red.

For all the diaper sniffer child worshipers TEACH YOUR CROTCH GOBBLINS TO LOOK BOTH WAYS! The problem isnt people not stopping so much as it is the rest of us have to watch out always for your kids. I'm pretty sure i was always taught look both ways and you're not a car stay off the road. Now a days I see kids riding in gangs on their bikes on a road bridge. Then when someone coming over the bridge doing the speed limit comes over the brow of the bridge they get hit and it's crying mom on the news

Dude what

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂🙂

Heres the thing when I even see a School bus I try to be prepared to stop anyway.

$170 FINE!!!! On Prince Edward Island in Canada its up to a $5,000 fine and loss of license! No wonder you have people passing school busses, there's no deterrent!!!

More stings please

Congratulations to all the GED graduates I am proud of y'all academic achievement keep up the good work 🤗🤗🤗

All the time Cleveland Tennessee drivers most never stop for the buses

Just rebuild it somewhere else we need this excitement here

Um that red truck, did not pass it illegally it passed it when the lights were still yellow. He was fine, but the one after that, yeah that one was illegal.

I agree stopping for the bus but the driver needs to pull over and let people by after.

How you not know how to behave around a school bus.
