The restaurant later became The Polka-Dot Playhouse, long after the amusement park had closed. Continuing down the midway, of the left past the motor boat ride, was the Ice Cream Parlor, followed by the Haunted House, and then the police box. On the right past the plaza was the Tilt-A-Whirl, an elevator-type ride than turned upside-down, a small food stand, and The Airplane Ride. It was many a day when I road that Airplane Ride and looked down upon the police box (a 10 x 10 foot wooden shack with a desk, a chair, and a police telephone). On the small porch of the box stood Mayor McLevy, waving and addressing passers-by using their first names! They had an outside bell mounted on the front wall, which loudly rang whenever the police telephone rang. On the left of the midway, after the police box, there was a driveway where a police car (or the mayor's official car w/lights and external siren) was usually parked, followed by the concrete pond (which once was filled with water and foot-powered water craft; later became the training pit for Bridgeport police dogs), followed by The Jitter-Bug later called The Caterpillar. This was a ride with four or so circular passenger compartments with a center "steering-wheel", which you were supposed to hold onto while the ride went up and down small hills on an oval track. Originally, this ride had a hood which enclosed the passenger compartments, so that you were in the dark during the ride. Following the "Jitter-Bug" was the Ferris wheel.
On the right side, past The Airplane Ride, was the beginning of a small, tree-enclosed park surrounding Pleasure Beach Ballroom. Across from the Ferris wheel was the formal entrance to the Pleasure Beach Ballroom, sort of a round-about which could drop-off attendees. At that point, the midway ended. On the left, there were several Holiday Houses To Let, and the ring road (which circumnavigated the park). Beyond the road, the beach began.
