    Place has changed mega since I was a kid. Only two "adult" rides left. :( I remember at the turn of the 80's they still had at least 6 big rides! Scrambler, Tilt O'WHirl, Jaguar, Tip Top (changed to Dens-a-Dome, tip-top in the dark, which was really cool!), Round-up, and if you count bumper cars. I don't have kids so it'd be boring to me and my brothers now! But it's still a great place with many fond memories!

    I went there every summer as a kid. Last time I was there was probably 20 years ago. When I was a kid, over 30 years ago, the zoo was very small so we hardly ever went to that part. It was all about the rides and occasional mini golf.. Memories!

    OMG I remember that. I've been going there since the late 70s and it hasn't changed much since. Nostalgia for childhood!!

    I went there last Sunday, and it’s gone all downhill. There’s a lot taken away from this place. There’s no longer tigers (as of this day I commented), and there’s a bunch of rides abandoned at the back park entrance.

    That's sad to hear. It had a lot of potential, and some retro charm to it. I was hoping that the management was going to keep investing in it.

    @@jayducharme What's also scary 9:45 till the end of the video, there is literally nothing open on that part of the park. It felt like a different place. It had an eerie vibe to it because of the abandonment. I looked at the map of the park thinking that there was gonna be a Ferris wheel. Nope. There is no longer a Ferris wheel at the park. Not a single one.

    Do you remember the old bumper car building with the squirt gun game with targets that did something when you shot them? It wasn’t a competition just a fun little activity you paid a quarter

    I went there a few years ago with my family. They had an Elephant with a chain around its ankle walking around in circles giving rides to kids. All I can think about is how small of a cage do they keep it in? Do they have more than 1? Elephants are social animals who live in big groups. I want to start a petition for York’s wild kingdom to release that elephant to a sanctuary.
