The Psychedelic World Of HR Pufnstuf: Facts You Didn’t Know

After H.R. Pufnstuf, the Kroffts Built an Amusement Park

Here’s one thing the Kroffts were never famous for – building a failed amusement part. In 1976, the brothers created a six-floor indoor amusement park called “The World of Sid & Marty Krofft.” It was located in downtown Atlanta and as home to the world’s longest escalator.

They also created a ride that was modeled after a pinball machine, but just like Pufnstuf, the park was way too expensive to run. The brothers closed it the same year it was opened. The building remained and is now a part of CNN’s headquarters.
