Fairyland Park was a beloved amusement park in Kansas City, Missouri, operating from 1923 to 1977. Founded by Salvatore Sam Brancato, a Sicilian immigrant turned entrepreneur, the park featured attractions such as roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, and a petting zoo.
Despite facing challenges like segregation and competition from newer parks, Fairyland Park remained a popular destination known for its affordable admission prices and entertaining promotions. After closing in 1977 due to storm damage and declining attendance, the park's legacy lives on through the memories of visitors and remnants of the Wildcat roller coaster.
