Luna Park: Scranton


One of the larger Luna Park remains is this corner of the Shoot-the-Chute. Most of the rest is buried under I-81.

  1. Hi, Frank--I still never found these ruins but I haven't been working in Scranton for almost a year, so I never get to the park.

    I'm glad to see you're still taking pictures!

    I am sending your blog link to my cousin in Michigan, who grew up in South Side and would surely enjoy your views of his hometown.

    Wishing you well!

  2. What was Shoot-the-Chute? I'm not from Scranton.

  3. The Shoot-the-Chute was an amusement park ride where you came down a chute in a small boat. They were fairly common in older amusement parks.
