But ALL of the Enchanted Forest has not been forgotten!
Many of the original figures and structures were saved and or given to Clark's Elioak Farm, which is just down the road from this original Enchanted Forest!
The farm has just opened for their new season!
This year they are VERY proud to be able to unveil to the public the original Little Toot boat, Humpty Dumpty, the Merry Miller's House, and Willie the whale!
While Willie was being relocated he broke apart.
But! His original frame was saved as well as his tail and tongue.
A local artist used these pieces to recreate a replica of him.
He still needs to be painted, but from what I hear he looks wonderful!
Papa Bear that you remember sitting in is at the farm, as well as the three bears cottage, the old woman's shoe/slide, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and many other EF favorites.
No, it wasn't possible for it to reopen on it's original soil, but this IS the next best thing! : )
It is sad that today's generation of children will never know these wonderful places like Enchanted Forest and Rocky Point Park. These parks had a lot of charm. Too bad they are just a memory......
As an adult there is always one place that you distinctfully remember as you were a child... This place is my childhood favorite memory. My family took my sister and I there all the time. I still have a picture of my sitting in the chair that was a bear... and I remember on the lake there was a whale ... I remember that it would talk to you. Like the story jonah and the whale. This was the best childhood park ever.
I remember going to this place when I was young, it was so much fun.
Motts there is a place not far from here that is restoring this park bet they would love some of your photos as they are asking for some.
I swear, when I first glanced at this picture straight on I thought I saw a small boy standing near the bottom right window.
But yeah, that isn't happening. hehe
Can you see "him"?
why does everyone think hes being eaten, hes hiding !
its a little off subject of the picture but i am from the uk and there is a ride in blackpool pleasure beach that used to scare the shit out of me as a child its called noahs ark anyone know it?
i think its pretty you could imagine two little children walking up to it in slow mo,
curiosity kills everyone eventually , but without it what boring souls we would be .
love your pictures , x
Wow, these pictures are magnificent. Absolutely stunning.
I'd love to go to an abandoned amusment park. Sounds fun...sort of spooky...what an adventure!
