    I never knew where this park was when I went to it in the 90s. In my last year of college, I drove through that town only to be disappointed at the state of the park. Overgrown vegetation, rusty old signs...I never knew it closed down as I entered college in 2000.

    One of the rare occasions where the Jingle was as good as the Park was.

    I used to live in Lunenburg - Whalom Park held many memories for me - especially the roller skating rink.

    Never got to go to it. But I did drive by it few years ago before it demolished. Sad loss, much like another childhood place I never got to go to - Mr Big's Toyland.

    My Dad used to take me here when I was a child. I remember they had tickets you punched to get on the rides. I am putting together an album for my Dad for his 75th birthday next month. Does anybody have any old flyers or tickets they'd be willing to part with?

    Whalom Park was the BIG "6th grade graduation" trip in my elementary school. Since Kindergarten you waited 6 long years until it was your turn to go to Whalom park at the end of the year in 6th grade as a reward for graduating elementary school. It was where I first won something out of those mechanical claw games. I won a stuffed hippo and everyone was so jealous. LOL.

    You should visit The Whalom Park New Ownership Program]s website to find the updates on Whalom Park! The organization is raising money to build a new Whalom Park in Massachusetts (not Lunenburg, unfortunately) and have already gotten a copy of The Flyer Comet's original blueprints! Keep Whalom Alive!

    I miss these old New England Parks. We used to spend our entire summers going to Whalom, to Rocky Point in Rhode Island, and then to Riverside in Agawam for what now seems dirt cheap. SIX FLAGS SUCKS! Damn near $100 a day to spend hours in line. We used to get on and off the Comet all day!

    Whalom Park was the shizz...the only thing that even remotely comes close now is Canobie Lake Park, and even then it's not quite the same.
    Seriously- even at the park's BUSIEST you'd wait maybe 5-10 minutes, max, for a ride. Compare that with Shit Flags, where you have to buy a "fast pass" if you want to ride more than 3 rides over the course of a 12-hour day.

      It was creepy as it filled with air and deflated, over and over. The gypsy was somewhat shifty-eyed, was she dealing cards?

    • @dewaltikdrescher4153
      @dewaltikdrescher4153 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yet I was quite intrigued as a child by the both of them. In retrospect, they should have been featured in the Herbie Hancock video, "Rock It".

    I disagree. It has nothing to do with homosexuality. It is, however, lame (or "Cheez Whiz").
