The Papoose I & II were the boats that brought guests from Amherstburg Ontario and the SS Columbia and SS St. Claire were the big steam boats from Detroit. You are correct that the open pavilion was for the bumper cars with the wire ceiling. The small stone buildings were mostly setup as washrooms. One of the 2 largest buildings was the Boblo Island theatre where you could see live entertainment. The other large building contained concessions as well as the indoor roller coaster called the Nightmare during the last few seasons the park was open. The largest building was originally a dance hall I believe was designed by famous Detroit architect Albert Kahn. When the park closed it had 2 other roller coasters, the Sky Streek which ran along the west side of the park and a double corkscrew coaster near the front gate called the Screamer. That small bridge you found was part of the antique cars ride. Cars resembling model Ts would travel along the road way and over that bridge. A metal rail down the middle of the road kept the cars on track if you weren't a great driver. There was also a train that ran around the outside edge of the park that resembled an old steam locomotive.

@@OutdoorAdventurer no, unfortunately my parents never had a home movie camera or camcorder. Boblo closed the summer after my first year of high school. We went at least once every summer when I was a kid because it was more affordable and closer than Canada's Wonderland or Cedar Point. How I remember it, it was always a cross between a traveling fair or carnival and a permanent amusement park. Many of the rides were set up permanently but you could tell they were on a truck trailer and were meant to be portable. I forgot there was technically a fourth roller coaster, the log flume which was a great relief on a hot summer day. There were many rides from the 1950s and 60s with the popular space theme and then some more modern ones added in the 80s like the screamer and nightmare coasters as well as the falling star and observation tower. I also remember that since it was an island, there were always lots of seagulls. They ate so many french fries and junk food all summer, most of them could barely fly haha. As a kid I always wanted to go on one of the big Boblo boats but then we would have ended up in Detroit instead of Amherstburg where our car was parked!

Do you have to know how to drive a car?

@OutdoorAdventurer Жыл бұрын

Just basic gas brake steering. Don’t need a license.
