Niagara Amusement Park Artifacts and Collectables

This page will show some of the artifacts APHAN has in its collection. From the smallest button, to the large Giant Coaster car, we try to cover it all.

This is the cover off the control panel of the rare Chance Turbo ride. After the park closed, I found this laying in a pile of junk. It is significant because of the registered amusement device tag, which allowed the ride to operate in Ontario.

A close up of 2 of the Punks (one used, one brand new) from the Punk Rack.

On the left is one of the locking knobs used to keep the Turbo carriage from moving while loading riders. They frequently broke off, and were usually replaced by a bolt. The ring on the right is from the ring toss game.

I have in the collection a very rare keychain from the Park. I had only ever seen one, and this is it. Needless to day, this is one item that does not go out on display.

With the park having the largest ferris wheel in the Western Himisphere, it allowed for some interesting fund raising ideas for service groups. Here is a button for a "ride-a-thon" for Cystic Fibrosis by the Kinsmen.
