I really like this one, holy mamma those are big. I'm looking forward to checking out all of those old pictures like the one you linked here Motts. As soon as I'm done this gallery!

great photo, but again, why do they just leave everything there, like they all dropped it and just walked away, this is in alot of pictures that I have seen, is this due to clean up charges???? anyone???:-0

Oh I love this. That's quite the monstrosity!

Whoa! We're suddenly outside in the bright sun...... great shot Motts, I love the perspective you get. Do you lay on the ground for these?

I agree Jude, wheres spiderman???

These last two shots look so lonely and quiet..... different than the rest.

that is pretty cool, looks like the floor could use some help!!

....... and Aqua! Great light in this one.

I mean, Golden "Hawk".....sheesh

This brings back MAD memories. My parents used to go here when they were kids and it was actually the first "integrated amusement park", even before Disney World! The last time I was taken here was in the late 80's and the place was starting to deteriorate....there was even a homeless man sleeping on a picnic table. It was bought by some company and was promised to be re-opened but that was YEARS ago. Now there is an old man who has taken a lot of the amusements from the park and has put them on his little farm for people to see....he has a website, but I'm not sure what the name of it is...? I drove by it recently and the same creepy sign is still there with the gingerbread men staring through the old fences...I'd like to walk in for myself some day.

I have a picture with my Great-G-pa and a studebaker, it is sad to see this building go!!!

Fabulous shot! Looks like being under a giant tent........ and look there's Pa Backy's Golden Arrow's headlights down at the end again!

Ok motts, now you're on my old stopming ground. I grew up in Foxboro, worked in the kitchen there when I was in High School. I was the guy who drove the electric cart through the tunnel from the main buildings kitchen to the now recently demolished "Dexter Building". As tina stated above there were some freaky experiences I had while working there.

I'm curious, did you experience anything during your visits?

that is a neat shot, it loks like the floor is leaning though????

Motts, i love these before and after shots, little seems to have changed in 58 years.
It appears as if the negative of the 1948 picture had been fliped ( the railroad tracks are on the opposite side )
