    If you look on the bright side some of the rides are in Knobels, an operating amusement park. It shows there is still some sort of remembrance!

    Wonderful explore Jay!!! I enjoyed watching this video but sure wish you were talking!!! I've gotten used to hearing your voice during each video, it makes it seem as if I'm exploring right there with you!!! You have a nice sounding voice!!! I also like you saying what you think each structure was!!! I'm so glad you started talking in your videos, they are much more enjoyable!!! Thank you for sharing Jay!!!

I’m sitting here today going through your awesome work and come across this one It’s beautiful listening to all of the nature sounds and faint snap of foliage under your feet as you walk, beautiful place I’m glad I found it.

    You said you aren't a great speaker ....I disagree . I like the videos where you talk as you explore . You have a slow paced "chat " with us that adds to the experience . The park closed during the WW II years ? That's sad ...people needed something fun to do during those trying times I'm sure. A beautiful place full of happy memories from days gone by .....you did a good job of documenting it for us...thanks. (seeing the deer run by was a nice surprise ).

    Another site said the property was used as a saw mill after the park closed. That may have been the reason for all the piled wood and the buildings that looked more recently used.

    I forgot you rarely spoke in the early videos. Looking back I can see how your skills have progressed and you seem more ?comfortable? maybe. I'm not sure that's the best word to use or way to describe, but I think you get the idea 😊. All of your videos are excellent! I like the new direction you're taking with content but enjoy the abandoned places best.

    What a beautiful setting. This place must've been stunning in its day. Do you know if there is anything left here since you filmed this? I would LOVE a live stream from here if it's not too far from you. Again, it is such a lovely spot. Do you know where the swimming pool was located? I didn't necessarily see an obvious spot where it had been. I also really miss your voice on this! I hope it's still "there" and that you could do a live stream from this spot.

    Jay I tagged you in decosmos post, didn't know you already did this. Love these old amusement parks, I would love to go into one of these places. Amazed at how all the roller coaster wood (I am guessing that's what that wood was.). Is still perfectly stacked. Stuck in time. An old deuce you can get parts for that anywhere. I bet a little tlc and fuel that thing would fire up. Drove those and the old 700 series 5 tons, never stop those things.

    My mom and uncles told me as kids they used to sneak into the park with the kids of the family who owned the park, during off season, and push the coaster to the top and ride around the circuit. Until one day the old man caught them. She said my GM and GF gave them whuppings they never forgot.
    I used to drive by this place regularly, the main sign still said croops, but I see now it is rusted away.
