Wonderland Amusement Park
Amarillo, United States
Wonderland Amusement Park in Amarillo, Texas, within Thompson Memorial Park, opened on August 12, 1951, as Kiddie Land founded by Paul and Alethea Roads on barren land they transformed with hard work and city support, starting with just three kiddie rides like the Hershell Boat Ride and Lil’ Dipper coaster built by Paul himself.
Renamed Wonderland in 1969 after adding bumper cars and dozens more attractions including the handcrafted Fantastic Journey dark ride, Texas Tornado coaster, Big Splash log flume, Rainbow, Pipeline Plunge, and over 30 rides today for all ages plus mini-golf, arcade games, and food booths, it has been family-run for over 70 years as a nostalgic local icon drawing 140,000-230,000 visitors annually.
Recently listed for sale in late 2025 amid hopes for a buyer to preserve and enhance this cultural gem that operates seasonally from spring through Labor Day, blending classic thrills with community memories.
