Webmaster conducting research to uncover the truth about Lakeside's mysterious and colorful past.

Growing up, I was afraid of Lakeside Amusement Park in Denver, CO. Urban legends warned of faulty rides and unsuspecting guests riding to their deaths. Legend also told of hauntings and some fascinating history.

Cooincidentally, a park of the same name is featured in a fantastic horror video game series, "Silent Hill." (Movie to be released in 2006) As the webmaster for one of the game's fansites, I began to revisit those urban legends and finally sort fact from fiction.

If anyone out there has heard or remembers any urban legends or strange happens in the Lakeside Amusement Park in Denver, CO, please contact me at cybil_bennett@lycos.com. You can read what I have discovered thus far at my website, Silent Hill - The Alluring Nightmare: http://silent_hill6.tripod.com/

Fear has transformed into fascination and it is absolutely NOT my intention to slander the park or discourage visitors from going - in fact, I highly recommend it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
