I have heard of it. But I cannot think of one clear minded person who would buy a million dollar piece of property over the internet. Makes no sense.

Sounds like it's really a piece of land with bunch of run down buildings and the remains of one or two rides. It's definately not an amusement park anymore, just the site where one was.

I've heard of it. I actaully visited the park in 91 or 92...some where around there. I don't remember much of it other than the train ride.

Can anyone say "Toonerville Trooley"? Anyone ever read that?

I visited that park when I was really young, maybe six or seven. I rode my first Toboggan there. Don't really remember much else about it, just a lot of western type buildings and such.

Well I don't think anyone will want to pay $1,000,000 for the park land everything in that park has been vacant for about 8 or so years. The only thing thats usefull is the land its on. Almost everything needs to be replaced or rebuilt. They're still a few rides left there they may be able to run if you fix it up. I went by the park over the summer and I saw it was so much in disrepair. I visited this park in 1989 its seems nice for a small park but fell victim to SDC. The campground I stayed at was shut down due to the fact the park went. All I can say is what I saw this summer was a very sad site.

This site has photos of a recent visit to the remains of the park and a link to a nice history of it. I remember seeing ads for it in the 70's when we went to Branson, but never made it down there.

Generic, isn't it?

I've heard of it. All I know is that it was in Arkansas and had a mad mouse which was sold to another park and a tobaggan ride.
