Joyland Amusement Park - Wichita, KS

I dug up some stills and a few of my personal pics from around the house. I hope you enjoy. The ones of the Wacky Shack, the dark ride, are pretty good comparison as well as my all time favorite ride - the tilt a whirl. My brother and my dad would always conspire to get mom in the middle so we could squish her.

Re: Joyland Amusement Park - Wichita, KS

Was doing some more research and found out there was a fire in the video arcade they show in the video with all the games.

That coaster was a lot of fun. I knew it as the All American but I'm sure it had a lot of names over the years. A traditional woodie with a 35 foot drop and about a 30 second ride. Best part was the four bunny hops at the end.

Re: Joyland Amusement Park - Wichita, KS

What happened? I read there was a tragedy and people died but can't find a single story on it. A fire I read happened while abandoned and it took like 30 minutes to put out...nobody was hurt. Wtf happened!? The not knowing is killing me!?
