Guess what I am doing next summer? I am going to take a road trip to one of the best/worst [amusement parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-theme-park) (no it is not Jungle Cat World, although it is home to the liger). I’m going to Flintstones Bedrock City in Custer, South Dakota.

This amusement park has been kicking for 45 years, and I think it is starting to show. Granted, Custer, South Dakota is not a number one tourist attraction, but maybe with a little love and attention the Flintstones Bedrock City could reclaim some of its former glory. Check out the gallery to see some images of this [small town tourist attraction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-town-trolley-tours).
