An excellent black and white shot of the rides in the northwest corner of the park, circa 1963. The Tilt-A-Whirl is in the foreground on the far right side of the photo, and Pom Pom's Hats is the building behind it with the jagged roof. This photo appears in the Annual Report of 1964.

As it appeared in the mid-70s. The sign at right reads "Gay Ninety Golf," with an arrow pointing in the direction of the miniature golf course.

This decorative ship was built by Dick Kraus and sat in the fork of a pathway, pointing the way to "Captain Morgan's Smuggler's Cave Restaurant." Down the path to the left was the restaurant and boat landing, which was near the dance pavillion. The path to the right led to the Mine ride and Superstition Shack. Ship photos courtesy of Dick Kraus.
The ship was rather elaborate and the sail was used to billboard the food selections available at Smuggler's Cave. The Legend City Tilt-A-Whirl is visible above the tree line in the background, and the roller coaster is barely visible to its left.
Another view of the ship, with the print shop building in the immediate backgound. In later years, this building was used as a first aid station staffed by a nurse. Any injuries were triaged here, and reports taken. The building to the right is the shooting gallery, fallen into disuse by this time.
The Ice Cream Parlor is at center left.
