Tiki Archeology - Newport Dunes Tiki Train

Recently acquired this postcard from the 1960s showing a very cool tiki train at Newport Dunes Park in Newport Beach, California. Do any of you locals remember this train or a tiki-theme to the park? Tiki Bong?

I remember Tiki_Bong :D

Spent quite a bit of time at Newport Dunes in the 60's but don't recall any Tiki Train. I would have remembered that as I was already Tiki "aware" then

Trustar

"somewhat aware now"

That thing is so cool I'd drive it to work!!

There was a place with filthy water kids could swim, and they had cartoony whales as diving platforms. (Sounds like a line from a Wasnotwus song)

Newport wasn't hugly developed way back and in the '60s, I can only think it would be something like that area or maybe to shuttle people from parking to the sea or shops.

Cool photo tho
