Oh, this is all so cool! Yes, the matchbooks and postcards were from Paradise Park. As a matter of fact, I'm typing this at Paradise Park right now! The Park did open in 1968 and closed in 1994 and all 6 seasons of Lost were filmed at Paradise Park at one time or another. The show travelled around Oahu but filmed quite a few times at the Park. The three remaining sets from Lost were taken down earlier this year at the request of ABC Studios and those were the Orchid set (the greenhouse where Ben moved the island), the polar bear cages (Hydra station), and the Temple from the last season. It was way too much fun - you shoulda been here! The tikis were mostly stolen or eaten up by termites. There are a couple of pretty ragged looking guys left but they are the link to the past glories of Paradise Park. It's so cool that people remember it, even if the chicken in the restaurant was suspicious.
