I remember POP well into the mid 60s and my family used to go there a lot in the early 60s, probably more than Disneyland (POP was closer and cheaper). The last time we ever went there was probably around '66, maybe '65, but the Island at the end was long gone by that time. It was one of the first attractions to be closed in one of their mainy "remodels", so I was probably still a pre-schooler the last time I was on it. I remember the tikis and the waterfall, the train, a cannibal village and a volcano, but some of these memories could easily be confused with the Jungle Boat ride at Disneyland. I wish there were more images of it to spark my memory. I work with a guy who was a Barker at POP way back when, and he gave me a bunch of nice images of the park in the early days, but none of them were of the island.
