Yeah, the Krofft Supershow (first season) was filmed there.

[thunderbolt]

it was not the first indoor theme park as mentioned in the article. Old Chicago beat it by a year. The mention of the weather is funny, it doesn't seem to bother attendance at theme parks in FLA.

Wow, never knew that. I always thought the theme park was six flags Kings Dominion in Virginia

[EMCE Hammer]

That looks amazing. Too bad there's so little documentation remaining.

I remember reading about it before...would have loved to have gone to it as a kid!

I knew this place wasn't around very long, but didn't realize it was only open for 6 months. Wow! Sounds like they didn't even make an effort to try to keep it going. What a shame. It's looks like it was a pretty cool place and that pinball game ride looks fun! Too bad there is not more existing photos or video footage. I wonder why the "no camera" rule?

I've always thought a Gerry Anderson-themed amusement park would be awesome! I wonder if there was ever any talk or plans for one.

Well the Krofft show "Lidsville's" opening sequence was filmed at Six Flaggs Texas.

Wow, never knew that. I always thought the theme park was six flags Kings Dominion in Virginia

How interesting. I would love to have gone.

[Wee67]

Didn't this become the CNN headquarters?

[Wee67]

and note the open to the Kroft Super Show after :30. There's also a neat shot for Walking Dead fans

[drquest]

Yes it's the CNN Center now.

Cool place that I would have loved to have visited as a child or adult. I would have died if they would have had Sleestaks walking around.

Filmfax did a spread on it a number of years ago with some incredible pictures. Yet another reason I want a time machine.

[acrovader]

Look like something from Logan's Run. I bet the place would've been really fun around Christmas.

[PNGwynne]

Very cool.

I was thinking the Kroffts were also involved with the H-B Banana Splits, which was filmed at King's Island, Cincinnati.
