Abandoned Flintstones theme park is NOT Abandoned - Route 66 & Bedrock City
Step into a strange corner of Arizona where Route 66 nostalgia, roadside weirdness, and cartoon history collide. In this Randomland adventure through Williams, Arizona, we explore classic Route 66 attractions, vintage buildings, old motels, gift shops, neon, strange vehicles, roadside Americana, and the surviving spirit of the Mother Road before heading north toward one of the strangest attractions in the Southwest - Bedrock City.
Once known as the Flintstones-themed Bedrock City amusement park near the Grand Canyon, this bizarre roadside attraction somehow refuses to disappear. Even after years of decline, abandonment rumors, and major changes, parts of the old park still survive today inside Raptor Ranch. We explore what’s left of Bedrock City, what has changed, what remains untouched, and how this legendary Route 66 roadside stop continues to live on in the Arizona desert against all odds.
Along the way we encounter classic Route 66 history, roadside dinosaurs, old signs, strange roadside art, quirky souvenir shops, and the atmosphere that still makes northern Arizona one of the greatest stretches of Route 66 anywhere in America.
