Tom Sawyers cave after park defunct. Photo thanks to Forgotten Ohio. See link below.OK. Here's what I remember about Fantasy Farm (I'm 30 now...so bear with me):

 Pulling into the pay stall and looking down at the funhouse. I would swear someone was in there sometimes touching me! The foam room in the barn...riding the sky lift and noticing all the shoes on the roof of the arcade. The "Electric Chair" sitting just outside of the restaurant that featured junk bins while waiting for the hot dogs & fries to cook. Paying for those and walking into the other room to take turns putting quarters in the "player piano". Does anyone remember the "Tumble Bug" ride that overheated all of the time and the person would ask you to come back in an half an hour for it to open?  The little trains in the small train-yard that had those little red buttons you'd push...hoping that yours would work and make a train sound. The shiny chromed steel coaster that I'd ride from the back seat so that  my cousin & I could dare each other to look backwards throughout the whole ride (I believe was 3 times around the track). The UNCLE AL shows at the pavilion! I ALWAYS WANTED to meet him and that horse! Then there was that infamous foam up in the barn! Yeah!!!! What about those AWESOME race cars that went in a figure eight (over and under the bridge)...you never knew which car you would get but you'd run for your favorite color! There were those infamous flying elephants (near the highway) and that cool wavy slide in the nearby tree (I used to think that slide was WAY UP THERE!). The animals of course...never knew what you'd see in those pavilions. The paddle boats...the cave with slide shows of The Flintstones......DID I MENTION THE SHOES ON THE ROOFS FROM THE SKY LIFT ? The pavilions that housed the mazes of trees you could climb to the roof (my cousins and I were on channel 22 I think for an interview). The Scrambler that my cousin went on 11 times in a row...WOW! What was I DOING???? I was on the coaster I think ! The silver bullets that went in a circle near the silver coaster.
