Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo was once a bustling outdoor attraction that remained a popular family destination for over 50 years. Today, it is merely a shell of what it once was.
Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo first opened in 1956 and became infamous throughout the state for having the only roller coaster with a track that turns riders upside-down, known as the Afterburner.
It was also an incredible place for families due to its large zoo area, where visitors could view exotic animals like tigers, giraffes, and monkeys. At its peak, the amusement park had a total of twenty-four rides and also featured an arcade, water park, and food stands.
Unfortunately, in 2008, the theme park shut its doors permanently due to the 2007-2008 financial crisis and dwindling attendance rates.
Despite being vacant for nearly two decades, the park remains relatively intact and is quite an intriguing sight to behold.
