Heard about that.
Best visit there was 1964. Only “rides” were the mine carts, and the train. Loved the dioramas of the missions of El Camino Real. The chapel with with painting of Christ. The house made out of bottles. Panned for gold.
A lost world.

Yeah, that’s how I remembered it from my childhood in the 60’s. When I took my kids back there in the 90’s it was just dominated by carnival rides. Just ruined.

The news can often make you think everyone and everything is rotten. Events like this prove otherwise. There are lots of good souls out there who will step up in the face of danger.

Yep!
Despite their propaganda to try and divide us by race, wealth, national origin and religion, most people are good.
This a point we must reflect on our daily lives to overcome the media lies and globalist agenda. If we don’t, we don’t survive their onslaught of tyranny.

What about the Crazy House (where gravity seemed to pull you while walking on crooked floors/through crooked doors, etc.)....is it still there?
The log ride??

Doesn’t look like a fun ride to me.
To: TribalPrincess2U
I think the “fun” is the zero-gravity sensation at the top.

The drug addicts and ex-cons need to do a better job of keeping rides safe.
