It's a blast from the past!

A viewer spotted an old Bell's Amusement Park billboard near 41st and Memorial.

The vintage sign features characters enjoying the thrill of the park's main attraction - the Zingo roller coaster.

According to Lamar Advertising, the billboard is hand-painted and could possibly date back to the 1980s. The company said it isn't sure about future plans for the sign but that "it will remain in the Tulsa Community for future enjoyment."

Robert Bell opened the amusement park at the fairgrounds in 1951. The park was forced to close its doors in 2006 after the county failed to renew its lease with the company.
