How Early 60's Florida Theme Park was Impacted by Disneyworld (Ocala Star-Banner via USA Today)
From USA Today:
By Rick Allen, The Ocala Star-Banner
In its day, Six Gun Territory was a hot property.
Opening with great fanfare on Feb. 2, 1963, the Western-themed attraction would draw thousands of visitors to Ocala during its 20-year lifespan. Six Gun and nearby Silver Springs attraction were among the premier stops in pre-Disney Florida.
Yet, even as this frontier town in the East reveled in its newness, the seeds of its demise were being sown some 100 miles to the south.
