When the amusement park closed, were the remains shipped off to Sodor?

And if they’d painted each vehicle with a giant “S” people could stand outside and say, “Look at that S car go!”

It’s still there actually, about 20 minutes from me, the park obviously, not the snail ride.

I swear I’ve seen pictures of this before… but I’m also wondering if instead, it inspired a bunch of other things (including, possibly, some horror movies) and those are what I’m familiar with. It is a very particular kind of nightmare fuel.

Reminds me of this.
