Park conversion progress
10-9-2018
The city of Monroe, Ohio
is redeveloping Monroe
Bicentennial Commons,
formerly known as
Americana/LeSourdsville
Lake amusement park.
I knew time was running
out to see just a few things
left, before they are destroyed,
Although I think it is wonderful
they are saving the site as
a new park and campus for
Butler tech.
Fly over Fantasy Farm
also included
Man this video still gets to me the music makes my childhood memories come rushing back going there 😔
Fantasy Farm was right next to it. I remember the Uncle Al show was held there one time when I was about 5 years old back in the early 70s and my parents took me there to see it.
Thank you for the video. It truly breaks my heart to see it almost all gone. I spent many days and summers there as a child and teenager. Worked there as well at both parks. I truly miss it and the kids of today have no idea how much cheap fun we had when we were younger back in the day. Kings island was a little more expensive or well a lot more expensive compared to Americana and we sure had a blast.
My Mom's company had their company picnics here for many years back in the 1980's & early 90's, many good times there.
My grandmother took me and my cousins here when we were kids back in the 80s. Good times. The shame is not just that this closed, but we don't seem to have many local amusement parks anymore where you can take the family without spending a mortgage payment. Just big, monster theme parks.
I miss Americana and fantasy farm” soooo many years of enjoyment and memories” they will always, be missed-
my whole childhood was spent there it kills me to see such a wonderful fun filled place being reducied to almost nothing.
I miss the park, the Screechin' Eagle was one of the best wooden coasters anywhere. Hard to believe it's about all gone now. There was a unique gift shop type of building just to the right of the entrance gates as you entered the park that's now gone too. It's too bad, as when the park was in its last years of operation, the ceiling tiles were being removed, and the building was being renovated. Above the tiles was the original detailed wooden roof, which looked really fancy and was probably from the 1920's! It was very beautiful, as it was covered all those years from the drop ceiling, a shame that building wasn't saved.
It’s weird that the Sky Ride outlasted everything.
I was just there at the new park a few weeks ago and the overhang that housed the one end is still there. Most everything else, even that can be seen in this video, is completely gone.
I can't believe some of the building are still standing. The one with the green roof was the Merry go round I think.
This was the poor families Kings Island.. We went there so much we were known by name.
Yep. And you always brought a picnic lunch. Too expensive to buy food there.
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing. That park brings back so many great childhood memories. Sad to see it gone but happy the property is being put to good use.
This was the place to go as a teenager and then after having children. So many great memories. It would have been so nice to have a park like we had back then for people closer to them now but happy it is being put to good use.
We spent so much time there when we were kids. Rest in Peace!
OK, I have to ask, that HUGE Grassy area!!?? Is THAT where the Lake Was!!??? What, did they Drain it, then Fill it in!!?? LORD I used to love this place!! I've said this before, but I liked the Rides, and Games of course! But my Fav. Part was Riding either the Paddle Boat, or the Train 🚂 back and forth to the old West Town 🤠!!
How could you set a responsible destroy such an iconic low-cost enjoyment for families for years
Awesome job thanks for posting this.
It was heartbreaking taking 1 last ride on the sky ride in this video...
Where is a pic of you running that train?
I was just 13 when it closed for good 😭. It was a good park.
When was the lake drained?
