Rides
In the early 1980s the park erected The Wildcat, a steel Wildcat-style roller coaster. Upon the park's closing, the Wildcat was relocated to Adventure Park USA in New Market, Maryland.
The park's other coaster was The Cyclone, a wooden roller coaster erected in 1933, a revolutionary coaster of its time, reaching speeds of 65 mph. The fate of the Cyclone is unclear as of November 2007.
As of November 2012, The Cyclone remains at the park in disrepair with the train parked at the loading station.
The cars of the Cyclone are recycled from the Palisades Amusement Park.
The park had two other coasters, Kiddie Coaster, 1992 until closing, and the Little Dipper, 1950 until 1963.
