John D. Leis -  Fantasy Farm was of my all time favorites. My grandparents took my brother and I there each summer for years when my brother and I were little. I remember riding the Ferris wheel, the scrambler, and a roller coaster that did not rise as high as so many do today but as a child it seemed high enough. I especially remember riding the electric train and loved it. The little red cars are memorable as well. I do not remember for sure whether I did the driving or not as I am six years younger than my brother. I remember riding the merry-go-round as well and one of the tunes that often times was played on the ride. As crazy as it is being 37 now I can remember that little tune. I couldn't name it but I remember it. I was born in 1969 and my brother in 1963, we had many good times for several good years. I also want to add that as a very young child it was scary but memorable to go through the haunted house ride. The food was great so were the toys. My wife Kim, who also enjoyed going to fantasy farm as a child with her family also and remembers several of the rides. My wife and I went looking one day to see where Fantasy Farm was, what a sad but memorable sight to see. It was sad to see that a place that we loved as children is gradually rotting away. I wanted so much to get out of the car and walk through this place that was so much fun at one time long ago. Thanks to all who made this sight possible and shared so many wonderful films, pictures, and memories! What an awesome ride back in time, John and Kim Leis
 

G.Sullivan - I was one of the many people who attended the auction to dispose of a place that gave me many wonderful childhood memories. I was able to attend many times, as were my children and also some of my grandchildren. I really feel that the world was a much better place while this was in Operation. The auction was a most sad day for me and at the same time one of the most fun times I have ever had. It was so great to watch others like me bid on pieces of their most happy days of youth.
 

Susan Parsons - I have no photos, but I sure have the memories. When I was at the ages of 6 - 10, my family and I would always go there. I always had so much fun. Between all the animals and the great American family fun time. The last time I was there was after LeSourdsville changed over to Americana. This was my 10th birthday. May 25th 1975. I will never forget, my parents asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday, and where I wanted to eat lunch at. We went to Burger Chef, and then to Fantasy Farm. I really miss good ole family fun. I would love to be able to take my 12 year old daughter to Fantasy Farm.  I'm sad that I can't share the fun I had with her.
