Another sad story
Here is what Phantasmagoria at the now defunct Bells Amusement Park in Tulsa Oklahoma looks like. It was closed in 2006 by the county for past due rent. The park had been owned and operated by the Bell family for more than 50 years.

ah those were the days.... I speak for many when I say... it is missed..
ReplyDeleteThat is the same building??? It looks like an abandoned mimi mart more than a ride. I wonder who wandered off with facade.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Tulsa for my childhood and I rode this ride a lot as a kid. Towards the closing of the park there were many broken events and instead of fixing them, they just kept the lights off in the broken rooms. So it was wait wait wait, ahhh! Wait wait wait, ahh! Wait wait wait, ride's over! But it was a pretty neat ride when I was young. Bells closing was very sad.
