A visit to The World Of Sid and Marty Krofft
A visit to The World Of Sid and Marty Krofft
Dead amusement parks, to me, are just about the most melancholy thing imaginable. "Here! We've spent millions of dollars to entertain you with our wacky characters and souviner stands! Enter and enjoy! ...you're not entering. C'mon, please? I took out a second mortage for this place." Looking at some of the materials from this 1976, only-open-a-year indore park (they had a map for heaven's sake!) makes it evident that a serious amount of time and planning went into this particular rotting husk. What a waste.
Though, to be honest, I don't think my sanity could bear an entire day in the realm of Pufnstuf, I mean, systematic brainwashing would scarcely be worse. As if Disneyworld wasn't bad enough.
