Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo
Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo was an amusement park located in Angola, Indiana. Although it was small in comparison to parks in neighboring states (such as Cedar Point and Michigan's Adventure), it remained one of the largest parks in the region throughout its existence. It also once boasted the only operating roller coaster (Afterburner) with an inversion in the state of Indiana, until Steel Hawg at Indiana Beach opened in 2008. The park closed in 2008, and on March 25, 2009, it was announced that it would not reopen due to financial issues caused by the Great Recession.
