Amusement Parks...Gotta Love 'Em!
It has grown from what used to be "Deer Park Funland", which had a train, ferris wheel, carousel, Scramber, Tilt-A-Whirl, Spider and a few other small kiddie rides, a few games, a small gift shop, and yes, deer that you could feed and pet, into a huge park with multiple coasters and rides as well as a water park, "Wild Water Adventure."
