Magic Landing in Memoriam
This website is an archive of what remained of a park that was mired in controversy, tragedy then long forgotten about. All photographs were taken as an archive of what the park looked like back in June 2005, as well as various reader submitted photographs of their visits to the park when it was in operation. I DO NOT CONDONE THE UNLAWFUL ACT OF BREAKING & ENTERING, NO MATTER WHAT THE CAUSE.
