- Title
- Forest Park Highlands - St. Louis, Missouri, 1896-1963
- Meta Description
- St Louis was home to several great amusement parks during the early 1900's. The most popular was Forest Park Highlands, home to the massive Comet roller coaster and unique Flying Turns bobsled ride. The fun came to a tragic end one June day in 1963 when a fire destroyed most of the park. It never reopened after that tragic day.
