This isn't the first time Funland didn't open on Mother's Day Weekend, as it had happened in 1979, and 1989. However, this was the first time that Funland missed 2 months of their season. To make up for this, instead of closing the weekend after Labor Day, Funland stayed open on weekends through the end of September.
For the majority of the season, the games at Funland open at 10AM, and the rides open at 1PM. The Haunted Mansion used to open at 6:30PM, then it was moved to 5PM. Starting in 2022, Funland began a new tradition of trying to open the Haunted Mansion at 1PM during most of the summer if they have enough staff to run it. If they don't have enough staff, then it opens at 5PM. For most of the season, Funland closes at 11PM. However when schools are in session, on school nights, Funland closes at 9PM, or 10PM depending on the day.
In 2019, former Funland employee Chris Lindsley ,wrote a book all about Funland called Land of Fun: The Story of an Old-Fashioned Amusement Park for the Ages.

Funland offered 3 2020, or 4 different time slots, each being 2 hours long and cost costing $20 per person. These reservations gave visitors a RidePass to ride as many rides as they wanted within the 2 hour time slot. After time was up, the park would close and clean prior to the next time slot. Funland also used these passes for the beginning of 2021, however in June they extended the time to 2.5 hours at no additional cost.

Funland has 18 rides as well as a kids play area. Of Funland's 18 rides, 5 of them are older than Funland and were there when Funland was purchased. These rides are the Merry Go Round, Boats, Fire Engines, Sky Fighters, and Helicopters. The chart below shows all the rides that Funland currently has, the number of tickets the rides cost to ride, the year the rides opened, and the type of ride each ride is based on. The reason some of the rides don't have anything under attraction type is because there are no Wikipedia pages about an attraction like them.
The Haunted Mansion is one of Funland's most popular rides. Its also ranked in the top 10 dark rides in the country. Its also one of, if not the first dark ride to take riders through the ride on a suspended track.
When the ride begins, as soon as the car enters the house, the car the rider sits in starts taking the rider 18 to 20 feet in the air within about 20 seconds. The car then goes outside the house for the first of two times during the ride. This time its on the balcony, right above The Crazy Dazys and The Gravitron. After a brief visit on the balcony, the car crashes into a door that from the outside looks like it's a wall, and the rider re enters the house.
The rider then almost immediately gets squirted by a snake in a clock. The car then makes its way through the living room, where the rider will see Frankenstein, some jump scares, as well as hearing a whistle when they least expect it. Eventually, the car makes its way out of the living room through a secret passageway that is hidden by a bookshelf. Once in the secret passage way, the rider will be entering the bat cave, where a bat jumps out at the rider as they pass. While all of this is happening, the rider is going past where the Haunted Mansion looks like it is from the outside, and above the Bumper Cars making their way towards the boardwalk. After exiting the bat cave, the rider enters a skeleton mine, where they take the rider's picture. The rider can look at, and or purchase their picture after the ride. Then the rider gets blown up by TNT. Following the explosion, the car coincidentally enters a graveyard where some more skeletons pop out at the rider. A Werewolf also pops out at them as they pass. Upon leaving the graveyard, the car makes its way back outside for the second of two visits outside the ride. This time right above the boardwalk and the beach. However, the rider will only see the boardwalk and the beach if its night time or close to it, as they keep the door where the rider can see the view closed till it gets dark. On the opposite side of the boardwalk, the rider sees a big skull with red eyes that haunts the boardwalk at night
After a brief time on the boardwalk, the rider re enters the house as they quickly head back above the Bumper Cars towards the exit of the ride. When they first re enter the house, the rider is greeted by a huge spider that crawls down from it's web to squirt the rider with some more water as they pass it. Following their encounter with the spider, the car makes its way into a room full of mirrors and floating skulls. In fact, the room has so many mirrors, the rider can't even see where they are going, or where the exit to the room is. While the rider is in this room, they will also hear the sound of a heart beating. Eventually, the car leaves the floating skull room, and enters the final room of the ride. At first glance of getting into this room, it looks like there's a guy who's peeing, and that the rider is heading right towards them. Before the rider gets to them however, the car takes a sharp turn towards a trash can so another ghoul can pop out and scare the rider. Then the car heads back towards the supposedly peeing skeleton. As the rider gets closer to the supposedly peeing skeleton, the rider realizes, the skeleton isn't peeing, its just watering its garden. Nevertheless, the rider is still heading right in between the skeleton and its garden, so the realization doesn't comfort the rider that much as they still expect to get wet. Luckily for the rider, just as they are about to get wet for the 3rd time, the skeleton turns off and lets the rider go by without getting a single drop on them. It does turn right back on though seconds after the rider passes.
The rider then comes face to face with Satan, who is dressed in a red robe with green eyes. He recites the following speech, "Hello, I'm here to talk to you about accommodation for later." At this point, the car begins to quickly take the rider back down the 18 to 20 feet they went up when the ride began. Satan continues "A crackling fire, to warm yourselves behind, on a cold Winters night. Excellent and personalized attention from the owner himself. I offer you wealth, romance, adventure". Now the rider is practically right next to him, and his eyes turn from green to red as he finishes "Name it, it's yours." The car then finally turns away from Satan as the car turns towards the exit of the ride. Thinking that they're done with the ride, the rider is relieved that they made it through the house, however, just as they think the ride is over, a loud truck horn blows right in their face right before they exit the ride. The horn is so loud, people can hear it from the Crazy Dazys, while in line for The Haunted Mansion, and even through certain parts of the ride itself, so it's hard to not know that it exists. The rider doesn't know when it's coming though, so that's what makes it so scary.
The Ride itself is only about 3:30 minutes long, but it's such a great ride, that people keep getting back in line to ride it again and again. In fact on an average summer evening, The Haunted Mansion normally has about a 25 - 30 minute wait to ride it. This is likely due to the space between when each car enters the house, as Funland spaces the cars out about 30 - 35 seconds between cars to allow time for the props to reset. To explain a little better, Satan's speech is 18 seconds long, and the rider still has to get past him before he can reset. Not to mention, sometimes the cars gain on each other, so it's actually sometimes not even enough time, as the rider can sometimes hear him finishing his speech for the car ahead of them, and most of the time, they even hear the horn go off for them.
The ride started being built in the late 1970s, but didn't open till mid season 1979. Prior to The Haunted Mansion being built, Funland wasn't sure they'd be able to have it built how they wanted it to be. Luckily, they found somebody that was able to build it how they wanted it, and it became the attraction they hoped it would become, if not even better.
To commemorate Funland's 60th anniversary, Funland gave customers free rides on the Merry Go Round on July 24th 2022. Then, on September 8th 2022, Funland was awarded a legislative tribute to commemorate Funland for being iconic and serving customers for 60 plus years.

Very often, they also think that the history they were taught in school did not happen that way. From their ideas, these groups are usually far-right on the political spectrum. Some are Holocaust deniers. Their views are often anti-semitic (anti-Jewish).
"Reichsbürger" say that the German Reich still exists in some form (in reality, it ceased to exist with the end of World War I or World War II at the latest).

The Mahendra Bahubali’s resembling Vrishaketu who had to stay away from his royal family but at the end, he got the kingdom of Indraprastha. It also takes inspiration from Karna’s teenage life.
