Northeastern Pennsylvania is rich with history, from the coal mining and railroads to the small town amusement parks. But just as the coal mining and railroad operations have disappeared, so have all of the parks. Not only do people lose a place to go and have fun, but a piece of history is lost. The rides are auctioned off and make there way to new homes, but roller coasters and other buildings usually suffer a slow death. It is an unfortunate process that so many parks have faced, and although we can't bring back the past, we can keep it alive through memories and the spreading of our knowledge.

This site includes factual writings, pictures, memories, and above all a piece of history. So have your tickets ready, your personal items secure, and step on to the ride that will take you back in time!
