Looking at the comments – I have to agree – the place is a shambles. I worked there as a maintenance engineer from 1987 until being made redundant when the park was closing. I looked after the Missile along with other rides) since it was built. I loved working there winter and summer. Just as an update – the only buildings now standing is the maintenance and workshops area and the building known as Pioneer Playland or later as Aztec KIngdom.

Anyone passing who loved the park like me – should see it now in all it’s forlorn state!!!

I didn’t see the Indian heads but I didn’t really have time to explore the whole park so it’s hard to say – sorry. It’s a pretty empty piece of land these days so I’d only visit if you’re passing, don’t make a special trip out just for the American Adventure.

hey, I was looking through some old photos from my chilhood earlier and memories of american adventure came flooding back to me, so I thought i’d do some research and see if it’s still going.. obviously I discovered that it went into a sad decline and closed down, and was really upset.
I was writing to thank you on your interesting photos and text on your visit to the abandoned park, and was wondering if you know if it’s still worth a visit/ if it’s been built over or what? I was thinking of going there to do some photography,do you know if the indian heads are still up?
thanks!
