[RCT3] Miss Debbie's Farm & Fair

The 1940s are gone and the first year of the 50s is over. 1951 finds America in a period of prosperous growth and hope of a bright future ahead. In Southern California the owners of a huge plot of land that they have farmed and ranched for decades have opened a small amusement enterprise.

Once you've arrived you have to make your way past the barn and residence before reaching the entrance.

A shot of the residence shows how close it is to the barn.

The entrance to Miss Debbie's Farm and Fair. The park's name comes from a family nickname of the wife who owns the park along with her husband.

The view of the park immediately after entering. Dominating the shot is the park's Columbia Star ferris wheel. The horse statue is a nod to the property's past as a major horse breeding center.

An overview of the park reveals how tiny it is at the present. It is just a small component of the overall property.

This building houses the main eatery of the park as well as the entrance to the park's most popular attraction.

By far the most popular spot in the park is the Wonderland Pool. When the park is open it is amazing how packed this pool can get.

Helter Skelter is a simple, but popular attraction for the park's younger guests. It has the same style of simple decor and landscaping that is at the Wonderland Pool.

The park's only coaster, Blue Streak is small but a favorite! To compensate for the short ride time, guests are sent around twice before their ride is over.

Another shot close to Blue Streak's station gives a better idea of it's short layout.

The final attraction is the park's railroad, Lakeview Express. This is currently it's only station.

In this photo it is easy to see how it got it's name.

The Lakeview Express travels right through the landscaping of the Wonderland Pool offering a unique view for swimmers and train passengers alike.

Beyond the amusement facility, nearly all of the property is open for the visitors to explore. Access to the main trail head is located between the Wonderland Pool and back restrooms.

A short hike away is a bridge leading to the former horse ranch portion of the property.

From the trails you begin to get a sense of how big the property really is. This lake is one of the few natural lakes in Southern California.

Further down the trail is the building housing the disused horse stables. It'll be interesting to see what the owners do with all of this land if the park is successful enough to expand.

At the back of the property, the flat region around the lake drops severely into a huge canyon. Looks like a place you wouldn't want to be on a hot day.

One final shot of the park at night closes out our first visit to Miss Debbie's Farm and Fair. Thank you for reading!

Seems very interesting! I'll be following this park.

very interesting start and story and I can't wait to see how everything pans out
