Ken Jones of Niagara Falls, Ontario has suggested this park. Little information has surfaced yet, but it had at least a carousel, the building of which is still standing, and a roller coaster or "Laff in the Dark" style ride.
The park was shown on the "Creepy Canada" television show in 2006. There was supposedly an incident when paranormal investigators visited the abandoned Pennyland Amusement Park. A serial killer alledgedly had used the location as his hunting grounds.
Rob McInnes of Winnipeg has researchd this park and believes it may never have existed except as a set for the TV show. Some think the park's buildings seen on that show resemble those of the defunct Pennsylvania Rocky Springs Park. Rob says: "I was going to suggest that you take Pennyland off your listings, but maybe you should leave it there with a disclaimer -- it never existed. It was apparently fabricated for the "Creepy Canada" TV show." See: YouTube Video. Rob also provides a link to a Facebook Discussion.
Given that little concrete information has been found, it may be true that the park never existed. On the other hand, closed amusement parks have been used as motion picture and television sets in the past. Research continues...
