Talk:List of defunct amusement parks

message: There was a nice amusement park in PA called wonderland?
Was just on TV last night.  Does anyone have a link?
It cought my eye because it looked similar to the Disney castle 
(I think it was begun the year disneyland opened 1954)
It was nice but was destroyed by ice.

message: What about Riverview Plaza in Chicago (Corner of Belmont, Western and Clybourn Avenues)? I don't have enough information to post about it, but any older (former or current) Chicagoans out there remember it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs) 
It's listed as Riverview Park for whatever reason. CaponeX (talk) 07:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed on Google that the semi-abandoned Land of Oz theme park in Beech Mountain, NC has an article located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Oz_(theme_park), yet this article just goes to the error message that says there is no article on the park in Wikipedia. Anyone who knows what they're doing care to fix this?Fireproof88 (talk) 21:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Would Neverland Ranch qualify? A portion of the property was a large private amusement park. Families didn't have to pay to get in, it was mostly large groups of ill children and there parents/guardians, coordinated by Jackson and charity groups. As far as I know, it was free to enter, Jackson footed the bill. I can easily find reliable sources that label it an amusement park, if that's needed? As for the "defunct" issue, Jackson has sold at least a portion of his rights in the property away, and all the rides/animals have gone. — Realist2 03:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

text: I think so, but I'd be very careful to add that while the amusement park no longer exists, Neverland Ranch continues on as a residence. It would also strengthen its case if years of opening and closing of the amusement park to the public were added the entry - all of the entries in the list should have both... and citations for each (the latter is mandatory per WP:LIST). 147.70.242.54 (talk) 15:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: It is amazing to me how many parks are not on thie list from the USA.  Off the top of my head I can think of Fraleys in Waverly NY, Skyline in Oswego NY, Harveys Lake in PA, & Eldridge Park in Elmira NY.  Some of these are still places but are no longer amusement parks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.117.114.5 (talk) 17:19, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Several of the Maryland parks have extraneous information that is not corroborated by either the Wikipedia article for the park or any outside sources. I deleted the information about the supposed lawsuit with the Enchanted Forest park, and the information for Marshall Hall should also be deleted unless it can be corroborated. And, if so, that should be added to the Marshall Hall Wikipedia page. I cannot currently find anything that backs up this entry: "the National Park Service gained control of the park after Congress, acting upon a request from the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, mandated that the views from Mt. Vernon had to be protected and returned to something resembling the days when George Washington sat on his colonnaded porch and looked across the Potomac;the Park Service tore down all vestiges of the amusement park in 1980, whose popularity had declined due to competition by larger, newer parks". Sometimes the end is only the beginning... (talk) 20:38, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I finally tracked down where that passage about Marshall Hall originates, but it took four articles to get this piece of information. If it is accurate, then Marshall Hall, Maryland and Marshall Hall (amusement park) should be combined. I will still remove most of the post as unnecessary information, but may link to the Marshall Hall location article for those who may be interested. Sometimes the end is only the beginning...

message: I removed the text from the Luna Park, Glenelg entry because it does not conform to the format of the list. I am including the text here in case someone wants to create a Wikipedia page for the park, since the current page is about all of the parks of the same name.
On October 8, 1930, tens of thousands of people flocked to the opening of Luna Park on the foreshore at Glenelg. The bright lights and thrilling rides provided some cheerful relief to the gloom of the Great Depression. It was Australia's second Luna Park, the first having been opened in Melbourne's St. Kilda eighteen years before. One difference between the two parks was that Glenelg did not have the 'laughing face' entrance. Entrepreneur David Atkins saw the possibilities of such a venture in Adelaide and encouraged the Melbourne owners to open a Luna Park here. He became the park's general manager. Glenelg's Luna Park operated for almost five years when a mixture of economics, non-negotiable council rent, tension with local residents and pressure from church groups not to run rides on Sunday saw its closure. The rides and machinery were packed up and sent to the site still occupied by Luna Park in Sydney.
