Santa's Village- Skyforest, CA - Defunct Amusement Parks on Waymarking.com

The 15 acre Technicolor dreamland with ginger bread houses, and toy shops with the inexplicable giant mushrooms. The theme park included the Bumble Bee Monorail, Whirling Christmas Tree, Gingerbread House, Welcome House and of course, Santa and a always frozen ice, North Pole. Some of the buildings and the monorail use to be visible from the street. It is considered trespassing to view it up close with riding sky buckets in the shapes of rusting, creaking giant bees or a seemingly tame roller coaster with cars like sleighs led by banged-up fake reindeer. Especially memorable was a walk-through Alice in Wonderland attraction featuring dusty, cobwebbed and stunningly amateur dioramas. Now mostly used as a lumber yard, the once joyful attraction of Santa's Village is fading and falling apart.
