Hey all, I have finally found the time to post pics, and for my first thread, I wanted to share my first explore, back in 2012 (before I even knew what urbex was, or had started using the word 'explore' as a noun). I actually tried to post this earlier, but it didn't seem to take, so this is my second attempt.
This is an abandoned theme park (as I've heard it is being converted into a Heritage, USA Christian park) in northern Arkansas. It was active from the late 60's until the early 90's, and was a simple park based off of Andy Capp's "Li'l Abner" characters. The park featured a water slide, boat rides, a train, a few small rides, and various shows and crafts/art exhibits, as well as a trout pond and a restaurant that would cook your catch for you.
The park would inevitably close due to low revenues, remote location, and lack of interest and even lack of awareness of its actual theme. Back in the 80's my parents would pack up my brothers and I and we would come here...I rather liked it. I was married to Daisy Mae here once (a 'til sundown' marriage), and was sawed in half during a magic show when I was 12. I feel very fortunate that my brothers and I were able to revisit this place 20 years later, and explore the remains of what was...even more fortunate that the owners happened to be there that day, and had granted us permission to enter. Hope you all enjoy, I'm excited to be able to finally post photos!
