The local amusement park shut down this year, after 50 years of operation. I decided to go look at it the other morning; the cold rain made it seem even more forlorn that it already was.
Some of the rides are being shipped to other parks, but I guess the stuff that remains is headed toward being a big pile of bent metal.
Sad update: the owner of Joyland, David Dean passed away yesterday. His wife said, “I truly believe that the sale of Joyland falling through broke his heart.”

Sad to see Joyland go. I had lots of fun times there from when I was just a little kid, to even going a few times with my grand-kids. 🙂
My grandma worked there for many years in the ticket booths.
