Honestly, every time I was coming home from my aunt's house, I would see the LED cross all lit up, and I had no idea a theme park was there. I thought they had stuck it up there just because.
I don't know if you missed it or if it's been completely destroyed, but one of the best parts of Holy Land USA in Waterbury were the catacombs. I played up there since I was 5 until age 17. The catacombs were spooky or fun depending on how old you were. Thank you for sharing a bit of history and for the flashback.
I grew up in Waterbury from 1961 (5-years old) to 1974 and split right after high school. Came back a few times at different ages and even got arrested with my girlfriend at the time (around 1979) when we broke into the catacombs to hang out and party.
I passed by this several times in the 1970s'. but never noticed it being so built up. Butt Head & Beavis on WPLR in Hamden, CT. jokes about it frequently.

Haha, well now you know
I see the cross everyday, it’s always lit up. I’ve wanted to walk around up there just to see but I’m not allowed to. 😭

You're welcome! Do you remember where the catacombs were located? I don't remember seeing them.
