'It Was a Big Circus'. ''I spent my summers across the street from Playland, in the bungalows, from the age of 8 to 18,'' said Walter J. Roberts, a 62-year-old Rockaways resident who heads a local insurance agency and is president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Rockaways.

Park Was Rejuvenated. Richard L. Geist, whose family owned Playland from the 1920's until 1982, said ''the policies of this city'' over the last 35 years were to blame for the park's fall and for the decline of the Rockaways as a recreation area generally.

The Haunted House - awaiting the wreckers, as are the Funhouse and the roller coaster - is as eerie in its emptiness as it was in its heyday of ghouls and witches. ''I'm very sad,'' said Margaret O'Brien, who is 84 years old and has lived across the street from Playland for 45 years.

Columbus and Tallahassee end up going there because Columbus wanted to follow Wichita but when they get there they see all the zombies and find the Cadillac in the water. Columbus then hears them shouting from the Hellavator and finds Wichita and Little Rock trapped on the top.

Wichita and Little Rock say the park is totally zombie-free but when they turn on the rides (which was an extremely stupid move as bright lights and loud noises in a zombie invasion are like swiping in a lion cage with steak around your neck) and are on the pirate ship the zombies start coming.
