1. I still have dreams of going down those slides and on that spinning wheel that sent you flying

Into the padded walls. And those crazy zigzag stairs.

2. Yeah, the big slide was the best part of The Fun House

Usually there was a guy at the top of the stairs who told you to take off your tennis shoes, if you were wearing that type of shoe, and keep them in your lap while going down the slide.
(Sometimes no one was up there)

3. But if a part of your body came off that burlap sack you got a nasty burn !

4. Didn't know that, thanks

(That never happened to me)

5. Everytime I drive down there I get so nostalgic for playland.

I was mad when they closed the exhibit in El Cerritos. I don’t know why SF couldn’t have come up with the money and purchase the stuff and find a place to display it permanently.

6. It was common knowledge on the schoolyard playground....

that one would burn their hands if they so much as touched the wooden rails on the way down. That nasty burn stuff was nothing but a bunch of hokum in my mind; I often reach the bottom of the slide ahead of my gunnysack, having parted with it at the first bump.

7. My cousin got one of those burns showing off!
