    Wow brings back a lot of memories of the "good old days"!!! I can still remember riding that "Sky Glider" chair-lift ride!!!!
     
  4. Marriend on Happyland Ferris Wheel attributed to 1965. Happyland was torn down at end of 1958 and replaced by Playland. Happyland used to be roughly located where the Coliseum and Agrodome are now.
