I Was There! by: Anonymous I have fond childhood memories of this park as well as Silver Springs. Dan Blocker was playing checkers in front of the general store, in his Hoss Cartwright getup. I remember riding the steam train, and the gunfights.

old and we STILL stop for free orange juice at the State line!! I saw Hoss Cartwright! by: Matt Stroup We went there in 1970, I was only7 or 8. I LOVE the State! It will always be a special place to me and my family. Florida had so many GREAT attractions and the world itself was so much more family oriented. It seemed like you were way up there and the cars were barely as wide as the track. I remember the old wooden roller coaster that looked like mining cars. Fortunate to have family to stay with and friends from then also. Still amazed at this wonderful state and all it offers for free. I now continue the tradition with my family. Late sixties to the early eighties as a family.
Iowa My family used to go to the Sunshine State every year, twice a year growing up. It closed years ago, and all that remains are memories and a few commercial buildings where the attraction used to be. Anyone know exactly where and what's there now? EDITOR SAYS Tish, Six Gun Territory was in Silver Springs east of Ocala. My mom was bad with directions and my dad passed on a few years back, so I'm not even sure where the place was. Such a shame the place closed down- every little boy, especially, and some little girls, love cowboys, horses, and trains. My Dad loved the western theme and my mom loved that it was something the whole family could enjoy together.
The train rides were cool and I remember how an Indian (Native American) would jump out at the train- fun and a little spooky, fostering a life-long love of spooky rides. I think one of the first things that interested me in art was when the "Sheriff" took the pre-printed picture of a cowboy they handed out and turned it into a girl for me. It was a neat place, though, that much I do remember. Where Is Six Gun Territory Now? by: Tish I was so little I barely remember the place. Florida crackers all of us! I still have some pictures. We camped with friends and brought extended family on this trip. Afterwards, we went riding the glass bottom boat at Silver Springs. The sheriff walked past the table and ask if we were old enough to be drinking in that there salon! I thought that was the funniest thing with my ROOT BEER! I may have been 4 or 5. I remember going into the saloon and was watching the Can-Can dancers. My oldest sister couldn't stay away from the table until the gun fight started. When we went we saw Wally Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver. Remembering good ole days by: carpetlady1 So fun reading these posts.
