Wildcats Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Can anyone tell me where I can find pictures of old amusement parks? I was looking for Hanna-Barbera Land, Fame City, and Games People Play. There has got to be pictures somewhere. Also I was curious about pictures of teen hang outs around Humble. For example, Fun Factory, Golf and Games, and 2 movie theaters that are no longer there. Thanks for any help anyone has to offer!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Interesting! I just looked on Google Earth to try to find the old Go-Kart Race Track/Speedway and it's still there! Looks to be out of commission. In 10 years these tracks will either be buried under plant life or developed and built over with concrete. G&M Motors looks to be the current owner. It's an automotive company so I wonder if they actually use the track? I see trucks on the speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
