Goodtimes Amusement Park

History
The park opened in 1956.

In 1979, part of Comet’s track collapsed from high winds, and the ride suffered from serious structural damage. Due to repair costs for the ride being too expensive, Comet was demolished later that season. The demolition of Comet is what eventually led to the park experiencing a financial decline over the next three years.

In 1983, Carwardine Parks purchased the park. Twister was immediately ordered and built in a six-month span, using whatever materials they had left from Comet and using blueprints of Coney Island's Shooting Star that a contractor found in the insulation of a carousel he was refurbishing. Twister opened in August 1983.

Trivia

 * Santa Maria was originally going to be called "Challenger" and have a Space Shuttle theme, but due to the Challenger disaster, it was quickly rethemed to the Santa Maria with a Spanish theme.
 * The park was originally intended to be a permanent fairground, but turned into an amusement park midway through construction.
 * Adventure Mountain was originally going to be themed to the FOX show "King of the Hill", but plans were scrapped when Carwardine Parks learned the show was on the verge of cancellation, so it was given a generic Indiana Jones-esque theme.
