Video of the Week: Introducing Hanna-Babrera Land

 Does anyone here remember Hanna-Barbera land? No, I'm not talking about the brand's presence at Universal Studios, Kings Island, or anything like that, but a full-fledged park dedicated to Fred, Scooby, Yogi, Jabberjaw, and more. It was located in Texas and had an extremely short-lived run. How short was it? Well, it opened in 1984, and was closed the following year, due mostly to competition from other locations and an oil bust in the area. 

While the park is long gone now, this commercial for the park from 1984 paints a picture of what it looked like. Some attractions included a carousel, bumper cars, and a Scooby-Doo rollercoaster. Looks like it would've been a fun place to visit, and it's a real shame it was around for such a short time.
