I don't even know if the road up there is intact anymore...last I heard is it suffered major landslide damage a few years ago.Mr Bad Examplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004012727396888018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961594141028484453.post-83692832987011872262012-09-07T11:46:18.630-07:002012-09-07T11:46:18.630-07:00Magic Mountain used to have a Troll Village.

I saw it again on the back lot in the 90's in an area not open to the public and it jogged my memory of it.<br />Douglas H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961594141028484453.post-44237189999907271292012-09-07T11:43:04.284-07:002012-09-07T11:43:04.284-07:00Wow.

I was wondering if you had ever traveled up to Big Bear and taken pictures of the now defunct Santa's Village in Skyforest. A lot of the old rides and buildings are still there and are visible from the highway. I remember going there as a kid and it is kind of sad and more than spooky to see the place in such disrepair. I hope you update your blog soon! <br /><br />Thanks,<br />MonicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961594141028484453.post-58862068122950935922012-09-07T11:39:51.936-07:002012-09-07T11:39:51.936-07:00Don't forget the Log Jammer at Magic Mtn.

There is a putt putt course located under Jockey's Ridge in Nags Head, NC. Yes--under. Jockey's Ridge is an extremely large sand dune and when the course was built in the '70's, the designers didn't take wind blown sand drift into consideration. They eventually gave up and abandoned it, but when the wind shifts and blows in from the east, you can still see the putting greens, castle, etc. Very eerie to see the spires of the castle rising up from the sand or astroturf putting greens sitting amongst sand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961594141028484453.post-64337940765421074712008-01-23T14:20:00.000-08:002008-01-23T14:20:00.000-08:00I think Lion Country Safari in California is worth...I think Lion Country Safari in California is worth looking into.
