There Had To Be Some Place To Go Before Disney World
-
Here's an article about the brief life and lamented death of Freedomland USA, the theme park in the Bronx that lasted for five years in the early 1960's. I remember incessant commercials for Freedomland, but I never went there; Palisades Park was closer and a lot more ride-oriented, so that was where we went. But there are a lot of these amusement parks out there that are no longer in existence, and you might be able to get a good nostalgia topic going about places like Pacific Ocean Park or Willow Grove Park that ain't here no more.
