I think that one was called Fun World. It had the carousel you could see from the outside, right? I never got to go and always resented my parents for not taking me. :-p

FunSpot, on the other hand I did go to once. It was a core memory and I kinda ruined it when I took my kids there this past summer and realized it was kinda rundown. They did add a bowling alley which was fun. Also, my younger son could not be pried off the bumper cars… I wish I still had kid blinders!

Why RDU to MHT? Simple. They don’t fly to BOS and they wanted to add service to the Boston area. BOS charges high fees. They’re a low cost airline with only 15 planes.

I guess the question is, why MHT over PVD? My guess is that MHT is probably pretty desperate to get more business, so it doesn’t die a slow death like ORH is currently. Also, it’s a differentiating factor. They’re the only ones flying this route now. Southwest already does PVD to RDU. Moreover, any new destination for a pitiful airport like MHT gets noticed.

And it is apparently a very famous staple in early gamers history. I believe it was because it held the donkey kong cabinet which early gamers would try for the world record. I believe it was because the circuit board was unique an allowed for some time to be shaved off. It was a major destination and the epicenter of the DK World Record scandal I believe.

Look on YouTube for Billy Mitchell and Donkey Kong. I believe there’s a documentary and has lots of vintage NH video. I thought it was fascinating.

Had no clue until I was like 35.
