Hey Arcaders!
This one Hit me “in the feels” as the kids say today.
If you we a kid of the 70s as I was- no Saturday morning was complete without a Sid and Marty Krofft show. The live action fantasy realms they would send us to every week could be part fun, part fever dream, but always a great time. This is just the tip of the awesome 70’s psychedelic iceberg!

These guys even built a THEME PARK! They had worked with Six Flags on quite a few projects- but this was truly their own! What I wouldn’t have given to ride the Pinball Machine! It’s ok though- they filmed the Krofft Supershow there… So there is some footage to see of this amazing place! Sadly, the park was only open- for six months.
Here’s some very detailed info on the park!
I know- your asking… RayGunn? What’s with the history lesson?
I’m glad you asked!
From BoingBoing-
Ready to journey back to the psychedelic land of giant anthropomorphic hats? Lidsville and other fantastical shows will be available digitally for the first time with The Sid & Marty Krofft Channel. The streaming platform is a collaboration with Cineverse who will manage, operate, and remaster the catalog.
We can look forward to revisiting cherished kids’ series from the ’70s and ’80s like H.R. Pufnstuf, The Bugaloos, Lidsville, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Land of the Lost, The Lost Saucer, and Far Out Space Nuts. The channel will also showcase seasons 1 and 2 of The Krofft Supershow — not seen since their original broadcast in the mid-70s — as well as unedited versions of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, Wonderbug, Dr. Shrinker, Bigfoot and Wildboy, and Magic Mongo.
