Exploring an abandoned Flintstones Theme Park!

[@laurahicks9558]

You probably did not grow up in an era where you came home from school and the flintstones were on everyday, on one of the six channels you had. They are embedded in a lot of people's childhood. (Man, I'm old)!

[@NathanLathroum]

I stopped by this specific abandoned park myself a few days ago. A lot of the tools and etc. in the train house remain (and all of the permanently mounted pictures are still on the wall), some of the buildings in the main area remain, and the Main Hall & Post building is still there (although the sign is completely gone). I managed to find the "O" from "Post" from the sign inside the building along with a town piece of a pamphlet for the park. Exploring it was great, even though there wasn't a lot left!

[@allenhahn4606]

You don't understand as your probably to young, its a theme park because its themed after the flintstones. I went there as a kid then as an adult with a group of friends and we still had a blast. So miss it.

[@robojunker]

It's a road side attraction. Went to one like this or maybe this exact one as a kid and loved it, but I also watched the cartoon a lot. Not a lot of rides, but it was a fun place to visit.

[@lillychevalierfox]

actually this park look better now with the more wild and natural look

[@CowTown]

Agreed!

[@lillychevalierfox]

@@CowTown thanks for the tour anyway it is always appreciated.

[@ShockMe1994]

His name is not pronounced DIE-NO, it’s pronounced DEEN-O just saying

[@TacoBellCustomerService]

Pretty cool. Crazy that they let people go into these buildings

[@CowTown]

Yeah I'm honestly surprised the buildings are still there!

[@Lmattaaron]

I remember staying here in the 90s. It was so cool.

[@CowTown]

That’s awesome!

[@noahb2981]

I’ve never seen this before, it looks cool though!!

[@CowTown]

Yeah its different!

[@kaycekay4517]

I went there when I was young. Loved it...then.....

[@CowTown]

Can still love it now! Just... A lot less to do there lol

[@gerrygriffin2625]

When I was 6 years old they had one in Arizona that they started to do and then close down

[@sakurashy8492]

Amazing that it’s still standing. I wanna go there someday and hopefully before the whole place gets bulldozed. At least these videos allows me to see the place.

[@CowTown]

It's a very interesting place! haha

[@lukeanderson7843]

Sakura Shy Unfortunately, it was demolished yesterday.

[@ShockMe1994]

Sakura Shy sorry to say it, it was bulldozed.

[@meredithrandall4893]

I was there as a kid in the early 70's , on a family trip out west from Pennsylvania..

[@TomGreen99]

Omg say it right, it's DEENO!!

[@CowTown]

DINO. ;)

[@TekionGames]

It's now buffalo ridge camp ground

[@MrMinster228]

Man I remember going when this place was open and my dad was always afraid of us going in the snake because he was afraid of there being actual snakes in it

[@melaniesletten834]

I was born & grew up in Rapid City (have lived in Arkansas for 30+ years now) - & used to go to this park probably yearly when I was a kid. After we moved, we would still make a point to visit our "Flintstone Family" whenever we made a trip back - introducing the next generation to the same experience we always loved! We were in the Black Hills in the last 2 week, & were very saddened to learn it had not only closed but had also been completely REMOVED 😮😟 ! Altho I was so glad I happened to run across your video tour (!) - I hated to hear how you described (& kinda ridiculed 😕) this quirkily ICONIC landmark attraction ... it may not look like much in terms of most 'Theme parks' today - but, for all of us who still treasure the 'simpler times', it was truly magic - a place to use your imagination to the fullest ... something that, sadly, is rarely explored anymore in our world of electronics & 'excess everything' 😶 I actually don't remember hearing it referenced as an 'amusement park' - it was simply considered (at least by anyone I knew who'd ever visited) a well-known Black Hills 'tourist attraction' ... &, YES - it is most definitely pronounced DEE-NO ! Thanks for the much needed trip down memory lane (!) - but, maybe try to keep the 'narration' to a minimum if you're not a 'fan' 🥴 !

[@cherylsmith8898]

I loved that site when I was young!!!

[@anabanana3214]

i went there too!! We were driving around and found that it was So cool!

[@encoder5.0]

What part of ND did you visit? I used to live in Minot, ND couple years ago

[@CowTown]

We went to Minot lol, visited my brother who just got stationed up there

[@encoder5.0]

Some Fairlife Milk haha small world! I used to drive by Minot state beavers campus all the time and near the airport there. Great place!

[@CowTown]

Nice! Haha yeah it's pretty nice for being in the middle of nowhere! Haha

[@centurion_053]

Cool! Btw.. Wreckfest runs great now bc it was using intel hd graphics. No wonder.

[@peggyhenderson3930]

Flintstones are cooler than Winnie the pooh

[@heidiuridge1584]

Is it still there?

[@CowTown]

Just looked it up, was destroyed last year sadly!

[@heidiuridge1584]

@@CowTown oh no that is unfortunate wanted to go visit one day..thx for reply

[@CowTown]

Agreed! Wish it could’ve stuck around a bit longer.

[@dwayne3298]

Are you going to live stream today

[@CowTown]

Not today, I'll be back tomorrow with a livestream :)

[@dougchristensen9183]

Probably been there 10 times in my lifetime love the flintstones and love South Dakota made it a destination in South Dakota many times they actually had cars that look like the Flintstone cars you could drive Winnie the pooh are you serious

[@dougchristensen9183]

When we were kids we had imaginations we didn't have to have a bunch of rides that's what this theme parks about and you can't even say the little dinosaur dog's name right it's pronounced Dee no

[@johny1220]

Abandoned stuff always kinda cool and always kinda creepy lol :D

[@CowTown]

It sure is! :)

[@donovanramsey2128]

This place is still open, just cause people dont go doesnt mean its abandoned.

[@CowTown]

It's all destroyed as of a year ago.

[@dwayne3298]

Love the vid

[@CowTown]

Happy to hear :)

[@allenfarms9310]

[@jimmyjohnson1726]

Great video. BTW, its pronounced "deeno" instead of "dyno". You were not a fan of the show, and thats understandable. 🖒🖒🖒

[@Isuckatvideogames210]

I can't believe that it's actually a thing. It's still cool tho

[@CowTown]

Yeah it was definitely pretty interesting to see in person!

[@Isuckatvideogames210]

I just found out there's another very similar to this one down in Arizona

[@CowTown]

Yup that one has closed as well

[@deftiny]
