==History==
In [[1959]], Ken and Violet Cormier opened "Marvel Drive In", a [[drive-in]] restaurant. Ken’s brother-in-law, Andre Dallaire opened a [[mini-golf]] course that previous year next to Marvel Drive-In. In [[1963]], Andre opened a [[Go-kart]] track behind his mini golf course, and in [[1964]] Ken added [[batting cage]]s and an [[archery]] range in [[1967]] behind Marvel Drive In. Over the course of the next few years, Cormier and Dallaire added several kiddie and [[carnival]]-style rides including SkySlides and Swinging Gyms. A [[gift shop]] was also opened.
Note that some overlap may occur.
In 1967, Cormier and Dallaire form a [[partnership]] and Funtown U.S.A. was born. Over the next few years, Funtown added a "Zipper", outdoor [[bumper cars]], and the “Luv Machine” (Bayun Kurve).
Greyhawk modules and adventures are found under the subcategory [[:Category:Greyhawk modules|Greyhawk modules]]
In [[1996]], Cormier bought out the remaining Dallaire interest at the park, and the park was then renamed Funtown Splashtown U.S.A.

It also has a 220 foot tall freefall tower ride called the "Dragon's Descent". There is also a waterpark ("Splashtown") which features "Pirate's Paradise", essentially a large playground which every few minutes drops hundreds of gallons of water on to its guests.
