Wonderland

Built 50 years ago by Paul and Alethea Roads, Wonderland started originally as Kiddie Land, a three-ride amusement park on a hill in Thompson Park. They were dedicated to creating a family-friendly environment that catered to thrill-seekers everywhere. With each year, the Roads added more rides, some purchased from other parks, others built specifically for Wonderland. Two generations and over 20 rides later, Wonderland remains a place for the young and young at heart to spend a hot summer night of fun. If you haven’t been this year yet, now’s the time to go and experience three new rides: Drop of Fear, Fiesta Swing, and The Hornet.
