Hi, Sad for childhood ~
This is from a closed nursery rhyme and fairytale theme park. This is a picture of Mt. Vesuvius which you would walk up and then slide down a 65 foot slide.
I think there was also a diorama of Aladdin and a genie in a lamp that you would see as you walked up it.
The boat known as Little Toot would ride people around and through that tunnel in the mountain. (This boat wound up in a private collection, and is going to be donated to Clark's farm, who is trying to save as much of this park as possible for future generations. They just need to get something to bring the boat over in. But at least it has been saved! : )
So maybe the ride that you're remembering is still around. Unfortunately, for this place, this is one mountain that will never be climbed again as an opened attraction. : (
This ride used to be called Pompei after Pompei Italy where the volcano exploded. When I went as a kid back in 1987 it was always closed for reconstruction so I have never been on it first hand but you were suppose to be able to see the volcano explode
I went here as a child in the late 50's and early 60's. Thanks for all the memories! I remember my Super Granny sliding down this slide. I will try to send some pictures that my parents have. Thanks again!
UPDATE~These two tea cups have been restored. The other that had been donated from a private collection has just been repaired. There are now 3 of the original teacups from the Alice in Wonderland ride from the Enchanted Forest at Clark's Farm.
Painted Red, yellow, and blue, they can be seen at different locations there. They may be used to sit in and are great for photos!
Thank you, Van Gogo~
You and I have the same understanding for that name, and I personally, couldn't for the life of me, understand why someone would want to put that kind of image into such a wonderful nursery rhyme and fairytale theme park that was created specifically for children and all kids at heart. : )
ahwell its a great pic none the less
