Lost World, where Dinos go to rest after surfing Mavericks. Sadly, now replaced by a hospice, where these dinos took their second-to-last rest.

And across the street, in the blazing hot Scotts Valley just next to Santa Cruz California was….

Santa’s Village of course! After a raging hot day getting sunburnt on the beach and then bloated on fried fish and salt water taffy on the boardwalk, head of to ‘the village’ and tap some o that smokin Elf booty!

    I want to be at both places right now! Would’ve killed to see Lost World before its demise.

    I always meant to go to Santa’s Village but never made it there. However, David Arquette and Paul Rubens/Pee Wee bought tons of the outside sculptures. Between the two of them they own all of the mushrooms so at least I’ve gotten to see them up close.

    I’d love a mushroom right about now, you know, in my salad.

    Great post. I LOVE old theme parks.
