Des Moines Iowa Adventureland Roller Coaster Advert 1979 Postcard Unposted

This postcard dates to 1979 and promotes the Adventureland Fun Club at Adventureland Park in Des Moines, Iowa, highlighting the amusement park’s roller coaster and other attractions during the late twentieth-century expansion of regional theme parks.

Adventureland Park opened in 1974 as a family amusement destination serving visitors from across Iowa and the surrounding Midwest. Inspired by the success of larger theme parks, the park developed a mix of roller coasters, rides, and themed attractions designed to appeal to families traveling by automobile. Promotional items such as postcards and membership cards were frequently distributed to advertise seasonal events, discounted admission programs, and fan clubs that encouraged repeat visits.

The postcard design features a large image of a wooden roller coaster filled with riders descending a steep track, accompanied by smaller inset photographs of additional attractions and park scenes. Bold lettering reading 79 Fun Card Adventureland Fun Club appears across the top, inviting visitors to join the club and return for future visits. The colorful layout and energetic imagery reflect the promotional style commonly used by amusement parks during the late 1970s.
