Defunct Theme Park Shorts
Description: Vintage World of Sid and Marty Krofft tee! A whimsical Atlanta, Georgia indoor amusement park that opened in May 1976 inside the Omni International Complex, now part of the CNN Center. Created by television producers Sid and Marty Krofft, the colorful, multi-level attraction brought their beloved characters from shows like H.R. Pufnstuf and Lidsville to life through imaginative rides, puppet theaters, and fantastical displays. Despite its ambitious design, low attendance and operating difficulties led to its closure in November 1976, after just six months. A retro tribute to one of the most unusual experiments in 1970s theme park history.
Description: Boardwalk and Baseball was a theme park built near Haines City, Florida, at the south-east corner of the Interstate 4-US 27 interchange. It replaced Circus World at the same location, and was owned by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Park Group (now Harcourt, a division of Reed Elsevier). It opened in April 1987, and closed January 17, 1990. The park recycled many of Circus World's rides and exhibits. The petting zoos were removed, the rides and shows were rethemed, and Baseball City Stadium was built on the site. Although the park was considered superior to its predecessor, it was predicted to fail by industry observers at the grand opening. Its relatively standard rides were considered no match as a Walt Disney World competitor.
