Travel Time: Freedomland 1963

"Freedomland U.S.A. (usually just called Freedomland) was a short-lived, themed amusement park in the Baychester area in the northeastern part of the Borough of The Bronx, New York City. Its slogan was "The World's Largest Entertainment Center" (later, "The World's Largest Outdoor Family Entertainment Center").

Freedomland opened on June 19, 1960. It closed at the end of the 1964 season when it failed to make a profit."

-Wikipedia

The former site of Freedomland is currently the gargantuan Co-op City and the Bay Plaza Shopping Center.

In those days, you rented a horse for short trips in the city

If you had to go out of town, you rented a horse.

If you planned a real long trip, you rented a horse.

If you don't rent a horse, you rented a horse anyway.

In those days, you rented a horse; every half hour, every day.

They did that Chicago fire re-enactment every half hour every day? Jeez, I'd hate to see their gas bill.

I've heard that this was the biggest pusher on Disneyland until it closed.
