    Hi Adam - I live locally and have been to most of these locations, starting at Dungeon Rock as a kid, up to Giggles Comedy Club at Prince of Pizza, as a much older kid. Thank you for visiting Pleasure Island. I ended up writing books on this park, Freedomland in the Bronx, and Magic Mountain in Golden, CO. They are all long gone. They were designed by mostly former Disney and MGM talent for investors trying to mimic Disneyland.

    Hung out at Dungeon Rock as a kid. One night was at the bottom of the staircase about 100 ft below where the staircase turned to water. Bubbles appeared in the water. Got super scared 😳. A skindiver emerged from the water! He had dived to the bottom. Said he found nothing. Frequented treasure Island as a kid also. The whale would pop up via hydraulics during the boat ride. It was a great park. 🤔

    Pleasure Island: spent a whole day there with family "back in the day." They did have a disney style dark ride called the "Wreck of the Hesperus". I saw Moby Dick come out of the water. A "pirate" greeted you when you got on the boat. There were burro rides around a pond. I think they had a train too. A lot of fun.

    I love all the little places you’re finding in the Boston area. My dad and uncle used to talk about the whale from Pleasure Island but I didn’t know where it was. I think that old building you were looking at in Malden Square was an old department store and movie theater from the 70s.

  • @992001jeffr

    I went to Pleasure Island as a kid in the 60’s. I only remember an old western town section, and a staged shootout with bank robbers. There was an old steam train that took you through the woods around the perimeter of the park. I went back in the 70’s, long after the park closed. We squeezed an old Chevy Impala between 2 boulders at the entrance, which were meant to keep vehicles out, and ended up driving on the old railroad line around the park. The rails, and most of the railroad ties had been removed, and it was all overgrown. Unlike you, that was my only experience exploring an abandoned theme park. Thanks for the memories!!

I looked it up..it's opened a couple of hours on certain days when the weather is good and if you want a "special tour" of it you can call the local Park Ranger and they'll give you a tour of the tunnels underneath! Don't quote me on it but this was on their website.🌲

    FUN FACT: Pleasure Island was built by none other than C.V. Wood- the same guy who built Disneyland for Walt... then ended up getting fired and excised from the company's history because of shady kickback deals made with retail investors... then started a new company that promised to build DLands in every major metro area around the country...
    Spoiler alert: He failed spectacularly.
    Theres also an unofficial 'historical society" that gives walking tours of the site every few years..

You should check out Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. You'll love the view from the top of the 125 ft. medieval tower in the middle of it. It feels more like a public garden than a cemetery. It's really gorgeous.

Saugus used to be the area of Large Signage for Restaurants..IE; The Hilltop Steak House and the Kowloon. Take care, CJ, the guy who is the "Ghost Sign" guy.

    I have a couple of photos of me at Pleasure Island. I also used to work at Analogic not to far where Pleasure Island is.
    Prince pizza is one place I miss being out here in the desert now.

Later on my brothers and I would ride our bikes the length of the road. Last mile or so there is a steep incline down. One time my brakes wouldn't work and the bike went wobbly on me. I crashed on the street and got really bad scrapes. Reminds me of Adam's fall on his bike.
