Caption and history:
Pictured above is a photo taken at Happyland during the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) in Vancouver, BC. In the right foreground is pictured the famous Shoot-The-Chutes ride that was claimed as the park's most popular ride. Happyland operated from 1926-1957. After the park closed, Playland was built and opened on Labor Day in 1958 and continues to be a success.
