it's so sad that those of us who enjoyed Crystal Beach cannot share the rides, smells and atmosphere with our children {really heartbreaking}

I remember going there as a kid. We drove across the peace bridge to get there. I still miss the magic carpet and the wild mouse.

Had a great time there in the 60s and 70s at the annual Otis Elevator picnic. Wonderful childhood memories. Also went a number of times in the 80s with friends in my late teens and twenties

What really happened? Mr. Hall was naive. He was suckered into a predatory loan. The first thing they did was sell off the original hand carved & painted hershel carousel ride horses. When the loan principle came due & he did not have it the auction was made immediately. They were already destroying the un movable structures. e.g. the giant roller coaster, laff in the dark before any kind of preservation could be undertaken. What is really bad is how all the features had been preserved & in perfect working condition. With today's love of nostalgia crystal beach wold have been a tourist stop like Niagara Falls, Buffalo's architectural treasures to people who would come to Toronto from all over the world being Toronto is the largest international Airport in Canada. It provides no consolation but one of the main guys involved in the scam later has been convicted of some kind of fraud & imprisoned.
