Robert Bell built a miniature train around his Tulsa house in 1948 and, for a time, ran children's rides at the Admiral Twin drive-in. In March 1951, he started the park at the Fairgrounds with a small collection of rides and amusements including a three car train and a Shetland pony ride. The first adult ride added to the park was a bumper car ride in 1955. In 1957, a Tilt-A-Whirl and miniature golf course were completed. This would later grow into a family-owned amusement park with several dozen rides and attractions.
