Comments: WOW! Amazing web site! How unique so much is preserved and so many lives touched by Legend City. Amazing memories. Dad transported us from rural Iowa to build and work at Legend City in the early 60s. Legend City was my brothers my sister and my home away from home for several years. Incredible place to be a teen in the 60s. What a great place to grow! I would also like to apologize to anyone whos River Ride I may have ruined by memorizing the spiel and rudely saying the spiel before the River Boat Captain. You may find comfort in knowing that Dad banned me from the River Ride for 2 weeks. My partner in crime and best friend, Nancy Tompkins, where are you? Find me at lesliekosta comcast.net. But know you remember me as Ronnie Schenck.

Comments: This is a walk down memory lane for an old 59 year old kid from Iowa. My dad and family moved to Arizona in 1961 and help build and run Legend City until the fall of 1964. It was sad to see such a fine place have the financial problems it did but we had no idea it remained in operation until 1983. During the building I remember helping with the cement work for the pads the rides sat on. I was only 12 or 13 at the time but dad took me to work a few times. Later after the park opened, I went there many times and knew almost every inch of the place. My father was the maintenance foreman after the place opened and later become Rides Manager. He has lots of good memories of the place and the people who worked there including lots of kids from ASU. Many of the rides for the park came from a Kiddy Land Park in Kansas City, Missouri. At an even younger age I went to Kansas City a few times and rode those rides before they were moved to Legend City. I'm sure that many of the folks who visited the Park back in those Early days loved it and the people that worked there loved it too. They were exciting times and deserve the time and effort you have put into this web site. Thanks, Randy Schenck and father, Ron Schenck

Comments: From about spring 1971 till the end of summer 1973, I and a couple of my friends Steve and Alford were stunt men who trained under Ron Nix.
This site sure has taken me back there!
We used to have a gunfight at the town in the back of the lot and then shoot outs on the train. Sometimes we would stack tumbleweeds on the tracks and set fire to them so we could rob the payroll on the train.
Those were times I truly miss and your site took me back there, THANKS!
I will always miss Legend City!! WHAT A LOSS!

Comments: When I was in 9th grade, my friends and I washed cars one Saturday at a local gas station to get enough money to go to Legend City Amusement Park. We had a blast and this was to be 1 of the only times I was able to go before it closed up. I am now 45 years old and still remember that event in my life.

Comments: Legend City is solely responsible for my fear of heights!!! I got stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel in 1972 when I was just 6...the wind was blowing and it was almost dusk. Havent gotten on a FW since. Still, I wouldn't trade my memories of this place for anything!!!! I remember seeing so many concerts there in the early 80's...the Go Go's, AC DC, Def Lepard. LC is the source for so many happy memories from both my childhood and my teen years!!! It is only too bad that it wasn't around for my daughter to enjoy and to create memories for herself! LC...you are sorely missed!!!

I loved the whole place, but the visit was a must for one simple reason - the antique cars. Like most young kids, I couldn't wait to drive a car, and that antique car ride was the only place I could drive legally when I was that age! I would ride those cars over and over again. It is a great memory. Thanks for this website!

Comments: Thank you so much for bring back the fond memories that I had once lived as a young girl. My parents would take us to Legend City on the weekends. As I had became a Teenager a bunch of us girls would go on a Saturday night. When I seen the cars that had brought some really fond memories there. I lived it again. It brought a Big Smile to my face when I seen that. I remember that I got to drive the car for the First time whith my Mother I was like 9 years old, LOL that was so exciting to beable to drive with my Mom sitting next to me. As I had became a Teenager I remember going on the Log ride and getting all wet. That was a Blast. Thank You so much for making my day!. To this day My Husband and I share memories about Legend City. He jokes about it saying I think I seen you there. I just wished that it was still around so our Children could have seen how we spent our weekends. Thank You again.

Comments: Hello, I
just found your wonderful website! I
worked at Legend City from 1969-1974 (mostly in food service). Those were the
happiest times of my teenage years. Legend City was home to me. The ride
operators, food service personnel, clean up crew, nurse, etc., were my
family. When Legend City closed, I felt orphaned. When it was torn down, I felt
like my family home was gone. Sometimes I can still hear: "Welcome to Legend
City, a Wild West Adventure of Guns, Girls and Games" or the song: "If I
Knew You Were Coming, I'd have Baked a Cake." Back in the real world...I have
pictures. I have a picture of "Sgt. Dave" and "Sgt. Rick" in front of the
riverboat ride. Thank you for bringing Legend City "back to life," if only in
memory. Sincerely, Wendy "Windy Dae" (Toombs) Wasson

Sad that's gone, especially since I cannot take my children there. Alas, perhaps the parks name sealed its fate from the beginning. Perhaps Legend City was destined to end as only a legend. May the legend live on. Thanks for the great website!

Comments: I took my late wife to Legend City when we first came
to Phoenix in 1973. It was open in the summer and closed for
the school year.I always thought that that was a mistake.
It should have been open every weekend all year long.
that would have given High school and collage aged
people a place to date.
The summer was to hot even at night.So the park never got the attendance that it could gotten in
a place like L.A.
I hope the next someone wants to build an amusement
park in Arizona that they enclose it like the one at
Mall Of America. So we can enjoy it year around.

I remember accompanying him on his rounds and being truly spooked - it was DARK and we were the only people inside the park. I also admired his courage, because most nights he was canvassing the entire property...alone. BOO!

It truly was a unique place. Being a native, I always ask people if they remember Legend City and the answer is usually no...what a shame. It had atmosphere and a feeling all on it's own. There will never be anything quite like it.

Horst Bruener was the 'wheel' and we worked some 100 plus hour weeks in 100 plus temps each day to get the park reopened for the summer of 1974. It was a blast. Worked through shutdown and helped in security after closing, as there was a fair share of vandalism. Joe Niemann

Comments: Thank you for the website of Legend City. What memories.

I am 50 years old and I live in Oregon now, but I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona in 1958. When the amusement park opened it was one of the best things in my life. I had many, many fun times there. I had forgot some of the attractions until I saw the web site. I lived on the west side of Phoenix so it was always a real tough job to get a parent to drop us off and pick us up at midnight on a Friday or Saturday night. It was at least an hour drive away. But we probably got to go about 1 time a month.

My parents were friends with a lot of people at KPHO at the time. They were even members of the Phoenix Press Club. I remember KPHO and Wallace and Ladmo's connection with Legend City. I found Wallace on myspace.com about a year ago. He has a couple of websites. I believe he is in his 80's?, but still a real nice guy.

When I got a little older, 16 or so, my best friend and I worked there. I worked on the kiddy rides until my last day I worked at the golf course. Good times, good fun.

Thanks again for placing the website out there.

Comments: I have so many fond memories of Legend City I can't sort them all out. Mom use to take all us kids-neighborhood kids too, and drop us all off and we would spend the entire day their. I never wanted to go home. I was born in the right year-1957 to enjoy the heyday of the park. I even got a little moved looking at the pictures on your site-how we all looked at that time, before Phoenix got so big and urban. Thank you for the memories. I've already sent the web address to 12 other friends that I grew up with here.

Thank you,

Comments: I reside in Cincinnati. I was sufing the internet taking a trip down memory lane if you will.
I visited big surf, then I thought I'd visit legend city. I was saddened to learn it had closed. I'm 45 so I grew up at legend city.
I have a lot of found memories, It was such a unique amusement park.
I absolutely loved bringing my pistol
and shootin' at all them dang indians!
And panning for gold, well, I thought I'd made a fortune.
Being a girl, it sure was fun being a tom-boy all summer long. It was truely a delight.
I apreciate the tribute you have left behind.
It's a lovely website. Thanks! Be well. Cyndi cyndi4343yahoo.com

Comments: I was born and raised in Arizona and went to Legend City often. One night about 8 of us teens hopped over the fence into the park, of course not my idea. Well i was 13 and with a really cute boy that I liked. We went on several rides than it began to rain and we duck under a cowboy style building with a roof overhang. It was 1973 and there that i had my first kiss with this boy who later I married, had 3 wonderful children and have lived happily ever since that day! We miss those days. Thank you for this site to bring them back. Toni Clifford

Comments: Wonderful Website!
Thanks for the memories. It is so much fun to look over all the photos and I especially enjoyed the Wallace and Ladmo stuff.
I was fortunate to meet Pat McMahon at a dinner a few months ago. He was the MC for the evening. Afterwards, I saw him standing near his table and I couldn't resist going over to meet him. He must get this all the time--a guy in his forties or so, walking up to him with a Hey-it's-Gerald! look in his eyes, feeling like he's 10 again. I had no idea what I wanted to say to him. I just wanted to shake his hand and tell him what a fan I am. I really didn't want to bother him. If he was at all bothered by my presence, he didn't let on. He was warm and friendly and talked for several moments with me and my wife. He actually drove the conversation. Truly, this was a moment I will not forget. It was a great gift to meet this Arizona legend.

Comments: Thanks for keeping up the memories.
I noticed that many of the old photos have discolored and faded. I downloaded a few and found that Photoshop can do an incredible restoration.

I will keep an eye out for any memorabilia and foward it on to you.
