I also discovered that, somewhere in Flushing from the mid-Fifties to the Seventies, existed another amusement center frequented by childhood baby boomers. That was Adventurer's Inn--don't you just love the name, darlings?????????--and, it, too was a magical place. Why is the magic always taken away. These parks should be preserved in abandoned glory for people to photograph and discover, just like a certain icon discovered by Charlton Heston at the end of the original "Planet Of The Apes."
This amusement park seemed aimed for older kids than Fairyland. It merged sci-fi and fantasy. I have only the most superficial knowledge, which I am sharing; anyone else with more, feel free to comment.
Yes, darlings, once upon a time there were things to do in Queens. Now, it has become a place to avoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
