Having spent my formative years in The Bronx, and often taking a cool dip in the then heavily polluted Hudson River on hot summer days, I was a mere stone’s throw away from Palisades Amusement Park over on the Jersey cliffs.
It was a short trip across the Hudson River via the George Washington Bridge $1 toll round trip. (It’s now $15, but I would happily pay the piper to be able to spend another weekend evening there.) The park closed in 1971 along with its famous wood Cyclone roller coaster and Tunnel of Love. The name of the latter concession was changed to The House of Horrors, but when you stop to think about it, the two are often synonymous aren’t they?
