Re. Freedomland.
you can download there commercial jingle(s)[audio!] from the web - don't have them in front of me now. I do remember one of them, only remember first line or so:
'Mommy and daddy take my hand
Take me out to Freedomland'

And, yes, was there once in life and indeed seemed to beat out Disney; you participated in the different themes. They also used to have entertainment for the 'parents' come nightime, maybe other times. Probably the first time my parents actually left me out of their sight.
Now, Co-op city stands there.
