Funtown Amusement Center, once a vibrant fixture in Atlanta during the 1960s, stood along 20 acres of Stewart Avenue across from Zayre Department Store—now known as Metropolitan Parkway. The park offered a variety of attractions, including rides like the Wild Mouse roller coaster, Crazy Dazy, Kiddie Whip, a Ferris wheel, and a real 1865 steam train. It opened May 27, 1961.
