I used to work here when I was barely 16 going into my Jr year of HS. Many kids my age. What a great job. There used to be a place called Thrillvlle next door. Suzan, I’m pretty sure you were the one who hired alll of us, but we used to get in a car with 6-7 boys and girls and we would drive across the parking lot and ride “The Ripper” until one of our friends called over and said we needed to come back. Parking lot duty sucked but I have great memories about that also. Great place to for kids to work. Great place for families to visit.

I haven’t been to enchanted forest since the 1990’s. The water show was my favorite part. It’s changed sooo much but considering its humble beginnings, I’m so happy it’s still around. Thanks so much for sharing this video!

Fun fact about Enchanted Forest, all of the music you hear throughout the park was composed in house by Susan Vaslev, daughter of Roger Tofte who built the park. This makes Enchanted Forest one of the only theme parks in America that doesn’t have to pay music royalties.

The buttons on the railroad were my favorite as a kid, when they’re working they make a BUNCH of different parts of the environment interactable. The main one I remember was you could make the windmill turn.

Wow. They have added a ton of rides and attractions since the last time I was there, and altered many of the existing ones. Back then, the Ice Mountain Bobsleds were the only ride. They were still building the Medieval village and had just opened the Jolly Roger Inn, with its coloured-lights water show. Western Town was one of my favourite parts of the park. The shooting gallery was fun. You used to be able to duel with that gunslinger in the museum. He was hard to beat on the difficult level. I would highly recommend this park to anyone with kids. Thanks for the nostalgic tour.

I love this place! The haunted house terrified me as a kid. I’m so happy it’s still here. The wildfires in 2020 were hard on the family who own The Enchanted Forest. I hope they’re doing okay now.

My youngest was only 2 at the time, so their ages were 2, 5, and 7 my youngest still remembers going on the Log ride. They are Now, 34, 31, and 28 We plan on going again next summer, God willing. :) My parents took my sisters and I when we were little as well.

Enchanted Forest was my first theme park way back in the '70s, several years before Ice Mountain or the English Village existed. I will always love this park. Although I have several years of ride op experience at Oaks Park in Portland, Enchanted Forest is still the superior park in Oregon.

Enchanted Forest would be more practical if they had strollers for the children and Walkers or mobility scooters available for the seniors.
@EvergreenNoiАй бұрын
Former employee for enchanted forest here, we actually discourage bringing children in strollers, wheelchairs, or mobility scooters, as the entire park is built on a giant hill. There are many parts of the park where it would be physically impossible to wheel yourself up the hill, and if you did start rolling, you'd pick up speed fast, and would be dangerous. We do offer a golf cart driven by a employee if someone needs, however.
