Adventureland
Farmingdale, New York
     Located about an hour's drive east of Manhattan, this 
Long Island park opened in 1962.  The park was originally called 110 Adventureland, a reference to its location on Route 110.  Alvin Cohen was 
the park's owner in much of the 1970s until it was purchased by Willy Miller.  
Adventureland grew in the 1980s, and it was sold to Tony Gentile in 1987.  
The park presently has nearly two dozen rides, most of which are designed for 
children.  The 2009 film Adventureland was loosely based on director 
Greg Mottola's experience working at this park.     Four coasters have left the park:
	- Dragon Wagon (1996-2000) was a Flying Dragon model from Wisdom 
	Rides.  It was relocated to Blackbeard's Cave in New Jersey where it is 
	known as Dragon.
- Galaxy (1973-1990) was a Galaxi model from S.D.C.  It was 
	sold to a company in Brazil, but its whereabouts are unknown.
- Roller Coaster (1970s) was a Little Dipper model from the Allan 
	Hershell Company.
- Toboggan (unknown-1979) was a Toboggan model from Chance Rides.  
	It was last seen operating in a traveling fair in Brazil.
